J188170164Acquire Water InstreamLower Lemhi 2019The State of Idaho has committed to maintain target flows of 25-35 cfs in the Lemhi River at the L-6 diversion. These flows provide passage for migrating Chinook salmon and steelhead, which are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The 35 cfs is needed for juvenile outmigration in the spring and 25 cfs is needed for in-migrating adults in the mid- to late-summer. This transaction is one-part of a State strategy to secure passage flows in the lower Lemhi River. The flow at the L-6 diversion will be maintained at at least 34.95 cfs: 15.56 cfs from this agreement, 1.14 cfs from the Lower Lemhi Thomas 2010 agreement (securing permanent flow in 2019), 15.53 cfs from permanent conservation easements, 2.42 cfs from City of Salmon Golf Course exchange, and 0.3 cfs from the Lemhi TNC donation for 80% of the days between March 15 and June 30. The other 20% of the days, flow will be allowed to drop to 25 cfs (5.61 cfs from this agreement, 1.14 cfs from the Lower Lemhi Thomas 2010 agreement, 15.53 cfs from permanent conservation easements, 2.42 cfs from City of Salmon Golf Course exchange, and 0.3 cfs from the Lemhi TNC donation). From July 1 to November 15, the flows will not be allowed to drop below 25 cfs. This provides upstream and downstream passage for Chinook salmon and steelhead at a critical passage point.$00.00%10/01/201809/30/2019

This transaction is one-part of a State strategy to secure passage flows in the lower Lemhi River. The additional flow of 1.14 cfs will bring the total permanent flow secured at L-6 to 16.67 cfs. From July 1 to November 15, the flows will not be allowed to drop below 25 cfs.

From July 1 to November 15, the flows will not be allowed to drop below 25 cfs. This provides upstream and downstream passage for Chinook salmon and steelhead at a critical passage point.1465Start day and month for water instream2019MarchMarch    
J164Acquire Water InstreamLower Lemhi 2019The State of Idaho has committed to maintain target flows of 25-35 cfs in the Lemhi River at the L-6 diversion. These flows provide passage for migrating Chinook salmon and steelhead, which are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The 35 cfs is needed for juvenile outmigration in the spring and 25 cfs is needed for in-migrating adults in the mid- to late-summer. This transaction is one-part of a State strategy to secure passage flows in the lower Lemhi River. The flow at the L-6 diversion will be maintained at at least 34.95 cfs: 15.56 cfs from this agreement, 1.14 cfs from the Lower Lemhi Thomas 2010 agreement (securing permanent flow in 2019), 15.53 cfs from permanent conservation easements, 2.42 cfs from City of Salmon Golf Course exchange, and 0.3 cfs from the Lemhi TNC donation for 80% of the days between March 15 and June 30. The other 20% of the days, flow will be allowed to drop to 25 cfs (5.61 cfs from this agreement, 1.14 cfs from the Lower Lemhi Thomas 2010 agreement, 15.53 cfs from permanent conservation easements, 2.42 cfs from City of Salmon Golf Course exchange, and 0.3 cfs from the Lemhi TNC donation).

K164Acquire Water InstreamLemhi Permanent - K. ThomasThe State of Idaho has committed to maintain target flows of 25-35 cfs in the Lemhi River at the L-6 diversion. These flows provide passage for migrating Chinook salmon and steelhead, which are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The 35 cfs is needed for juvenile outmigration in the spring and 25 cfs is needed for in-migrating adults in the mid- to late-summer. This transaction is one-part of a State strategy to secure passage flows in the lower Lemhi River. The additional flow of 1.14 cfs will bring the total permanent flow secured at L-6 to 16.67 cfs. From July 1 to November 15, the flows will not be allowed to drop below 25 cfs. This provides upstream and downstream passage for Chinook salmon and steelhead at a critical passage point.1438# of miles of primary stream reach improvement20197.47.4 miles of primary stream reach improved, miles of stream improved in riparian areas Salmon, Chinook (Snake River spring/summer-run ESU) -- Upper Salmon - Lemhi River; Steelhead (Snake River Basin DPS) -- Salmon - Lemhi River
