BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


Canadian Area 20: July 1 through September 15 Washington Areas 4B, 5, 6, 6A, 6B, 6C, 7: July 1 through September 15 Washington Area 9: July 1 through September 8 Washington Area 10: July 1 through September 1 Washington Areas 12, 9A: July 1 through September 27 Washington Areas 12B, 12C, 12D: July 1 through September 30 Washington Area 12A: July 1 through October 5 Big Quilcene R. and Skokomish R.: July 1 through October 10 Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.3 A 1.27 Commercial catches were available on a daily basis. Recreational catches are estimated on a monthly basis and we used a straight line proportion, for reconstruction periods of less than a month. The time periods were generally based on reviews of the data series, and establishment of cutoff dates to separate summer from fall chum, in an effort to equalize the number of summer chum after the cutoff date, with the number of fall chum before the cutoff date. This was done to avoid an assessment bias in either direction. No precise information concerning the relative proportions of each segment, on each date and area, is currently available. However, we believe that any remaining bias may be quite small.

Commercial and recreational catches in each area were further apportioned between the summer chum of this region, and other commingled populations, using the following methods:

Canadian Area 20 and Washington Areas 4B, 5, 6, 6A, 6B, 6C: 7 day segments were assigned stock composition proportions, based on Area 20 GSI samples of recent years.

Washington Areas 9, 10: All chum before 9/ 8 ( Area 9) and 9/ 1 ( Area 10) were assumed to be HCSJF summer chum, and all chum following this date, were assumed to be from other Puget Sound regions ( cutoff date method). For instance in Area 10, the higher abundance of South Sound early fall chum was assumed to far outweigh HC SJF summer chum abundance after 9/ 1, and the reverse was assumed for earlier periods.

Washington Areas 9A, 12. 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, 82F, 82G: all chum during the specified period were assumed to be of HC SJF summer chum.

Methods  The annual reconstruction of runs was accomplished using a series of incremental additive steps, starting from spawning escapements and ending with the addition of near ocean catches, with the intent to reconstruct the total annual recruitment of each management unit ( MU), to all fisheries and escapement.

Assumptions  Major assumptions used in the reconstruction are included the following:

Catches in each reporting area and fishery were assumed to be a random mix of all stocks and management units passing through the area. For individual stocks, this assumption was only used within the terminal areas of Hood Canal.

All passing populations were assumed to be equally available for harvest in each area, regardless of their entry timing. For instance, SE Hood Canal ( Union River) chum were assumed to be equally available at all times, along with other management units, despite their somewhat earlier timing. This assumption probably biased upwards the estimates of the population size and exploitation rates on it. At the same time, it probably biased low the population sized and exploitation rates on commingled populations, in all preceding fisheries. This effect obviously becomes more pronounced in fisheries where lesser numbers of other populations are present, and/ or where exploitation ( as a proportion of the total) is higher. Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.3 A 1.28 A straight line migratory pathway was assumed in all cases. That is, stocks whose river of origin lies further " out", were assumed to have no contribution to catches further " inshore". If this assumption were incorrect, to a significant degree, it would result in misapportionment of catches, to individual MUs and a downward bias in our estimates of abundance of units further " out", with the reverse being true for units returning to streams further " inshore".

The final estimates, are not true " recruitment" estimates because we have not attempted to estimate, or add certain components, including: natural mortality in the year of maturity, non landed mortalities ( drop offs, predation from gear, etc.), catches in Canadian fisheries outside of Area 20, or US fisheries in ocean areas, or Area 7A. Some of these catches may be quite small and nearly insignificant, however if HC SJF summer chum salmon migrate to US waters through the Canadian " inside passage", mortalities in Canadian Areas 11 13 and 29 could be significant. All of the above were excluded from the present reconstruction because of the complete lack of appropriate data ( see following run reconstruction tables for the years 1974 98).

Reconstruction Steps :

1. SE Hood Canal escapements expanded to Area 12D whose catches were apportioned by population strength. The total provided estimated return to Area 12D 2. Area 82G escapements ( zero) were added to catches in 82G.

3. Escapements to Area 12C tributaries, including fish taken for supplementation, and any prespawning mortalities, and the totals from 1. and 2. above, were used to apportion Area 12C catches to each component, by population strength, and expand these components to obtain the run size entering Area 12C.

4. Escapements to Area 12A streams, including pre spawning mortalities and fish taken for supplementation, were added to any in river catches, to obtain in river run sizes. Catches in Area 12A were apportioned to each stock by population strength and expanded them to obtain run sizes entering Area 12A.

5. Escapements to Area 12B rivers, and the totals from 3. and 4. above, were used to apportion Area 12B catches to each component, by population strength, and expand these components to obtain the run size entering Area 12B.

6. Escapements to Area 12 streams, and the total from 5. above, were used to apportion Area 12 catches ( including Hood Canal marine recreational) to each component, by population strength, and expand these components to obtain the run size entering Area 12.

7. Catches in Area 9A were apportioned by population strength and added to the totals from 6. above, to obtain the total terminal area return of each stock and management unit originating in Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.3 A 1.29 Hood Canal. Each Hood Canal management unit was further expanded by apportioning to it catches from Area 10.

8. The terminal run sizes of the Sequim and Discovery management units were estimated by adding catches in Sequim and Discovery bays to their escapements and fish taken for supplementation.

9. Commercial and recreational catches in Area 9, Washington Areas 4B, 5, 6, 6A, 6B, 6C, 7, and Canadian Area 20 were apportioned to the management units in 7. and 8. above, by management unit strength, to expand these units, and obtain estimates of MU strength entering Area 9 ( Admiralty), Washington waters, and Canadian waters, respectively. The sum total of these, provided an annual estimate of region's recruits to all fisheries and escapements.

For a more detailed treatment of the SASSI process see WDF et al. ( 1993), and additionally, a more complete discussion of the application of genetic stock identification techniques is presented in pages 13 15 of WDFW et al. ( 1994).

Stock Definition The first task in developing salmonid resource inventories is to arrive at a meaningful definition of the units of fish on which to base the assessment. Stocks were chosen as the basis for SASSI for several reasons. They provide the finest resolution of all the units considered and allow assessment of larger units by combination; stocks form the basic building blocks of Northwest salmonid management, and stock units are widely accepted within the scientific community as a basis for evaluating fish populations.

The definition of the term " stock" and its application frequently present difficulties because the distinctions between different groups of organisms are often difficult to measure, and because the term is used for a variety of purposes. For example, as applied in bottomfish management, a stock is a group of fish that exhibits a homogeneous response to fishing effort in an area, and may be made up of several breeding populations, or be part of a population. However, in salmonid management a stock is generally considered a discrete breeding population. Ricker ( 1972) defined salmon stocks as temporally or spatially separated breeding populations. The Puget Sound Salmon Management Plan refers to the fish of a single species that migrate at a particular season to a specific hatchery or independent river system as a stock. For the purpose of this inventory the authors of SASSI adopted the following definition which is essentially the same as that proposed by Ricker.

SASSI STOCK DEFINITION: The fish spawning in a particular lake or stream( s) at a particular season, which fish to a substantial degree do not interbreed with any group spawning in a different place, or in the same place at a different season.

It should be noted that some differing views likely will surround any specific definition of stock. The inventory did not attempt to resolve these views or their applications. The purpose of the SASSI definition is simply to provide a clear, consistent and meaningful basis for conducting an inventory of the salmonid resources in Washington, and does not imply that this definition should be applied for other uses, that even smaller units of production are unimportant, or that the management of Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.4 A 1.56 fisheries or fish habitat should be on this basis. Where reproductive isolation was shown or presumed to exist in the inventory, it may or may not indicate genetic uniqueness from other stocks. The terms stock and spawning population are used synonymously in the inventory.

Even with SASSI's basic stock definition, considerable uncertainty often occurs in applying it to any specific spawning group because limited direct data exist to evaluate the degree of reproductive isolation among spawning groups. Fish management entities have inventoried fish populations annually as an integral part of the management process. Data collection programs focus primarily on gathering information necessary to manage various salmonid fisheries. Consequently the detailed information needed to identify and evaluate Washington's wild stocks is often quite limited. This lack of detailed data has imposed some restrictions on the development and use of the inventory. It is impossible to ensure that SASSI accurately defines all wild salmonid stocks in the state. Many stocks listed in this inventory have not been studied in enough detail to be designated as discrete stocks with great certainty. Many others need more refined data to determine whether observed differences in timing or distribution actually represent stock differentiation. The inventory must be viewed as a starting point, and its list of stocks should be expected to evolve with future updates. The stock inventory process will continue to be conducted and, as more information is assembled, stocks will be added or deleted based on additional information.

The SASSI process emphasizes naturally reproducing stocks of salmonids regardless of origin ( native, non native and mixed parentage). Future reports may include hatchery stocks as well. Only those stocks that spawn within Washington State are included. Past extinctions are not included in the status assessment because it is a current resource inventory, and the historic information on lost stocks is incomplete and often anecdotal. Where reliable information is available, reference may be made to extinctions in general terms in introductory sections only.

Stock Definition Criteria The criteria for defining stocks are:

Distinct spawning distribution.

Distinct temporal distribution ( including spawning or run timing).

Distinct biological characteristics ( e. g. size, age structure, gene frequency differences, etc.)

Each of these criteria is an attribute that can be used to determine whether a group of fish is displaying substantial reproductive isolation. A population meeting any one of the above criteria is initially classified as a SASSI stock until additional information shows that it should not be considered distinct. The term distinct is not intended to imply complete isolation from other stocks. The SASSI stock definition recognizes that some interchange between populations is a natural part of salmonid biology.

Distinct spawning distribution is the most commonly used criterion for identifying individual stocks in the SASSI process because general information on the geographic location of spawning and Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.4 A 1.57 spawning habitat is the most readily available. However, spawning distribution often does not show distinct separation and can be difficult to assess. A number of factors must be considered such as: degree of isolation, interchange between spawning groups, and the relationships between spawners in adjacent streams. It is also difficult to measure directly because it requires that spawning distribution of several generations of fish be tracked ( i. e., do offspring of each generation return to spawn in the same areas that are substantially separated from areas used by other spawning groups). This criterion must usually be assumed since empirical data are often unavailable and are difficult to collect.

Distinct temporal distribution identifies stock differences based on variations in timing of critical life stages ( e. g., spawn timing). Such differences are sometimes very distinct with no overlap between adjacent stocks. Differences are then generally quite obvious and easy to assess from readily collected information. Many cases occur, however, where timing does overlap, and the difference between within stock variation and distinct stocks becomes less clear.

Distinct biological characteristics can include any observable distinctions between stocks in size, color, age structure, scale patterns, parasites, or genetic differences. For some stocks, the stock differentiation is based on observable physical attributes. An example would be the distinction between tule and bright fall chinook from the upper Columbia River. These two types of chinook exhibit differences in spawning timing, but can also be characterized by differences in skin and flesh color. In this case, tule and bright fall chinook are designated as separate stocks based on both spawning timing and biological characteristics.

Genetic distinctions are the most common biological characteristic used in the inventory. There are indirect and direct approaches in SASSI for using genetic characterizations to distinguish among stocks. The indirect approach assumes that in some cases the genetic makeup of a group of fish has been substantially changed by past or continuing introductions of non native stocks. If these introductions represent a major impact on the native gene pool, it is sometimes assumed that the resulting fish are probably hybridized and are a single genetic stock. In some areas, the introduction of hatchery origin fish ( in particular chinook and coho salmon) has impacted the genetic character of stocks in a region which includes several streams, and it is assumed that the impact of these releases has resulted in one genetic stock.

The direct approach is based on genetic stock identification ( GSI), which is a method that can be used to characterize populations of organisms using the genetic profiles of individuals. The GSI methodology relies on the combined use of biochemical, genetic, and statistical procedures to discriminate among populations. While the GSI characterization of stocks and testing of stock structure provide a direct measure of genetic interrelationships, it is important to be aware of this approach's limitations. Geneticists can investigate only a tiny and restricted fraction of the genetic traits of salmonids by the electrophoretic analysis of proteins. To the extent that characteristics investigated do not represent the entire genome, the view of genetic interrelationships could be incomplete. Also, while statistically significant differences among samples provide evidence for the existence of distinct gene pools ( i. e. separate stocks), the absence of significant differences does not constitute proof that only a single stock exists. Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.4 A 1.58 The Stock Identification Process To arrive at a preliminary list of stocks, biologists identify individual stocks based on the first two criteria; known differences in spatial or temporal distribution. These distinctions are difficult to determine in some cases, particularly in situations where the amount of interchange among adjacent groups of fish was unknown. This preliminary list of stocks is then examined using available information on unique biological characteristics ( principally genetic stock identification data). This review can result in a number of changes to the stock list, where additional groups of fish are identified based on observed genetic differences or other biological characteristics. More detailed analysis during future inventories likely will change some stock designations.

Stock Origin An understanding of the genetic background of salmonid stocks in Washington State is important for the development of any future efforts to restore and maintain these resources. Regardless of species, the SASSI process recognizes three categories of stock origin: 1) those stocks of fish that are thought to represent native gene pools, 2) those stocks that resulted from the introductions of non native fish, and 3) those stocks that are a mix of native and non native fish, or are substantially genetically altered native fish. A great deal of uncertainty often exists about the genetic histories of many salmon and steelhead stocks, and the contributions of hatchery origin salmonids to native Washington populations have not been rigorously evaluated.

The definitions for stock origin used in SASSI are:

Native  An indigenous stock of fish that has not been substantially impacted by genetic interactions with non native stocks, or by other factors, and is still present in all or part of its original range. In limited cases, a native stock may also exist outside of its original habitat ( e. g., captive brood stock programs).

Non native  A stock that has become established outside of its original range.

Mixed  A stock whose individuals originated from commingled native and non native parents, and/ or by mating between native and non native fish ( hybridization); or a previously native stock that has undergone substantial genetic alteration. This may include species cross such as hybrids between cutthroat and steelhead, or rainbow trout.

Unknown  This description is applied to stocks where there is insufficient information to identify stock origin with confidence. Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.4 A 1.59 Production Type The inventory describes the naturally reproducing salmonids in the state. The origin of a stock or stock refers only to the genetic background of that specific group of fish. To understand more about the nature of an individual stock, it is also necessary to describe the type of spawning and rearing that produced the fish. For example, a stock of fish may be a genetic mixture of native and non native fish, but in the absence of continuing hatchery releases, the stock may be self sustaining as the result of natural spawning and rearing. These fish would be identified as a stock with a mixed origin and a wild production type. A native stock of fish in a rehabilitation program also can be sustained entirely by fish culture techniques. This situation is typified by Baker River sockeye salmon, a stock that is currently being restored by placing most spawners in an artificial spawning beach. This stock would be characterized as a native stock with a cultured production type.

The terms defining production type are:

Wild  A stock that is sustained by natural spawning and rearing in the natural habitat, regardless of parentage ( includes native).

Cultured  A stock that depends upon spawning, incubation, hatching, or rearing in a hatchery or other artificial production facility.

Composite  A stock sustained by both wild and artificial production.

Stock Status Once the stocks are identified, the current status of each is assessed based primarily on trends in fish population size or spawner abundance, or survival. Detailed abundance data for individual stocks are sometimes not available.

A two step process is used to evaluate the status of the state's salmonid stocks. First, five separate criteria ( see the Stock Screening section below for a description of these criteria) were developed to describe changes in stock status and fitness, and each stock is screened to identify negative changes in abundance, production or survival. Stocks that met none of the criteria and are judged to be experiencing production levels within natural variations in survival and consistent with their available habitat were rated as " Healthy." Second, any stock that met one or more of the five negative performance criteria is examined further and subsequently rated in Depressed or Critical status categories to identify the probable level of damage suffered by the stock. An " Unknown" category is used for stocks if trend information is unavailable or could not be used to assess stock status.

There are several circumstances that complicate the rating process. When a wild stock experiences an extremely low survival, it is sometimes difficult to know if that survival is within the normal range for the stock, or if it is entering a depressed state caused by human impacts ( e. g., habitat destruction or over fishing). Naturally produced salmonid stocks exhibit wide variations in survival, caused in part by changes in freshwater stream flows ( droughts and flooding), ocean conditions ( e. g., Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.4 A 1.60 El Niño events) and biological interactions such as competition and predation ( Cooper and Johnson 1992). It is not uncommon for wild stocks to experience one or two extremely low survival years each decade, resulting in low adult returns. This type of natural variation also provides years of above average production.

Some stocks are experiencing survivals that are so low that they are clearly below the level of natural variation. The survivals of other stocks are intermediate between obviously healthy stocks and clearly depressed stocks and are the most challenging to evaluate because they could be experiencing low survivals within the normal range for the stock. Short term databases often exacerbate the rating problem because with only a few years of observation it is unlikely that the lowest natural survivals have been documented. The evaluation of stocks with intermediate survivals was based on the collective judgment of technical agency staff members most familiar with each stock.

The possibility of cycling in the survival rates of various stocks also can create difficulty in rating stock status. These cycles may be associated with weather related impacts on freshwater spawning and rearing success. The apparent existence of cycles in survival and production data complicates the task of identifying depleted stocks, since poor stock performance could be the result of natural cyclic variation. Wherever possible, the existence of survival cycles is considered during the stock evaluation process and stocks with production levels within normal ranges of variation ( including cyclic variation) are rated healthy.

Stock Screening The best available escapement, population size, and survival data are used to screen each stock for indications of negative production or survival trends. Only stock specific data are used, which sometimes limits the available data to a short span of recent years. These data are plotted and qualitatively examined for changes in abundance or survival. Often, only a single stock specific statistic is available to analyze the production trend of a stock. When multiple types of data can be used to examine individual stock status, the available production or survival data sets are examined individually, and each stock's rating is based on the data that best described current status.

Five stock screening criteria were developed and are used in the initial evaluation of each stock for trends in survival, escapement, or production. These criteria do not currently incorporate quantitative formulas because the available stock specific information is often too limited for statistical evaluation. More subjective criteria were applied, and decisions are based on the collective judgment of the technical reviewers most familiar with each stock. While this approach likely can be improved in the future with additional and better information, it facilitates the initial stock status classification process. The status of each stock will be subject to ongoing review and refinement in subsequent inventories.

The five stock screening criteria are:

Long Term Negative Trend  This criterion reflects ten years of data showing a consistent drop in a survival or production parameter. The negative trend is the important factor and several high values would not eliminate a stock from being categorized under this criterion. Most Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.4 A 1.61 Washington salmon and steelhead escapement and production data bases span periods of ten to twenty five years.

Short Term Severe Decline  A short term drop in escapement or production is often difficult to distinguish from the amount of natural variation displayed by all naturally produced stocks of fish. It is important, however, to attempt to identify declining stocks as early as possible, so that limiting factors can be recognized and, if possible, corrected before serious damage occurs. The most recent five years of production data were examined for evidence of any significant drop in escapement, population size, or survival. If two of the five years display significant production decreases, the stock is included in this category.

Chronically Low  Stocks in this category are sustaining themselves at levels significantly below their potential. The determination that a stock is chronically low may be based on observed past production levels, or on an assessment that stock performance does not meet expected levels based on available habitat. Chronically low stocks may display declining, stable, or even increasing trends. For stocks that have displayed chronically low production for an extended period, it may be necessary to examine any available data for the years before current stock assessment databases were developed.

Decreases In Fitness  The ability of wild salmonid stocks to sustain themselves can be significantly affected by changes in the fitness of the individuals that make up a given stock. These changes can be subtle and include factors like changes in adult size or age structure, inbreeding associated with small numbers of spawners, changes in spawn timing, or other reduction in genetic variability. Any significant changes in fitness may justify the inclusion of a stock in this category. Currently no information is included in the inventory that allows any quantitative assessment of change in fitness.

Unknown  Many salmonid stocks have not been monitored or enumerated over a sufficient period of years to enable determination of status. Stocks in this category will have an Unknown status rating. Evaluation of their status for future inventories will require more intensive stock assessment work.

Stock Status Rating The stock screening process is used to place stocks into five status categories. Stocks with escapement, population size or survival levels within normal ranges are rated as Healthy. Those stocks that currently display low production or survival values are assigned to one of two separate rating categories: Depressed or Critical, depending on the current condition of the stock. Stocks are also rated as Unknown when data limitations did not allow assessment of current status. A rating category for Extinct stocks is also included. Definitions and discussions of each of these rating categories are provided below. The rating of stock status was done during a technical review process. The amount and quality of stock data vary among regions within the state, which can result in some differences in the application of the rating categories. These ratings represent the collective judgment of the technical staff most familiar with the individual stocks. The iterative nature of the inventory process will Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.4 A 1.62 allow these ratings to be changed in the future as more detailed information becomes available, or because of changes in stock status.

Healthy Stocks Healthy  A stock of fish experiencing production levels consistent with its available habitat and within the natural variations in survival for the stock.

Healthy stocks are those currently experiencing stable escapement, survival, and production trends and not displaying a pattern of chronically low abundance. Because wild salmonid stocks experience large natural fluctuations in survival ( caused by environmental variations), it is not unusual for even the most robust stock to experience occasional low abundance or even fail to meet escapement goals. Such fluctuations would not necessarily warrant a change in status unless the stock experiences a consistent declining trend, or a sudden significant drop in production. The Healthy category covers a wide range of stock performance levels, from consistently robust production to those stocks that may be maintaining sustainable levels without providing any surplus production for directed harvests. In other words, the fact that a stock may be classified as Healthy in the inventory process does not necessarily mean that managers have no current concerns about its production status. State and tribal fishery managers believe very strongly that habitat protection and restoration needs exist for many of the stocks classified as Healthy in SASSI as well as for Critical and Depressed stocks. In addition, due to a lack of information on changes in fitness, some stock were classified as Healthy that may have been significantly influenced by interactions with non native species. Much current resource management activity focuses on resolving problems for productive stocks to ensure they remain healthy and continue to provide harvest opportunity.

Approaches to considering habitat degradation, or loss, in assessing the status of individual stocks presents a particularly difficult problem. It is probable that all wild salmonid stocks in Washington State have been affected by some level of habitat loss. It might be argued that if a stock has suffered any habitat loss, it cannot be judged to be Healthy. Such an argument is unrealistic, but it would still be desirable to identify some level at which the cumulative impacts of habitat loss have taken a stock out of the Healthy category. Unfortunately, it is difficult to accomplish this task, because individual stocks are faced with such a wide range of different habitat impacts. The SASSI report rates the current status of each stock based primarily on trends in survival rates and population size, and does not focus directly on causative factors. Habitat loss, over fishing, or other factors, may be the reason that a stock is Depressed or Critical, but the rating is based on actual stock performance.

The consideration of available habitat is included in the stock rating definitions for Healthy and Depressed stocks. This approach is an effort to recognize that there have been irreversible losses of habitat and that if stock status were rated against a pristine habitat base, virtually every stock could be rated depressed or worse. Such a result would be of little help in addressing the current need to restore our wild salmonid stocks. To provide a meaningful assessment of current stock status, a flexible definition of " available" habitat is needed. In SASSI, " available" habitat may be habitat that is currently accessible to wild salmonids or in some cases may include all habitat that salmonids could reasonably be expected to utilize, even if currently inaccessible. For example, if a stock lost Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.4 A 1.63 access to and/ or was blocked from utilizing a substantial proportion of the available habitat in a stream, this may have been considered in the rating of stock status.

This definition is not meant to imply that a stock rating will remain healthy in the face of continuing habitat loss, even if the stock remains in balance with declining habitat. Future inventories will identify those Healthy stocks that are in need of attention to help ensure they remain at healthy levels. SASSI will also serve as a baseline against which any future changes in stock performance or habitat availability can be measured.

Depressed Stocks Depressed  A stock of fish whose production is below expected levels based on available habitat and natural variations in survival rates, but above the level where permanent damage to the stock is likely.

The category of Depressed stocks is used to identify those stocks that are experiencing difficulties that contribute to lower than expected abundance. These stocks meet one or more of the negative performance criteria, but are likely above the level where permanent damage has occurred to the stock. These stocks may currently be producing relatively large numbers of fish but have experienced a substantial drop in production or are producing well below their potential. Other stocks may be represented by relatively small numbers of individuals and are chronically depressed; forced to a low production level by some combination of biological, environmental, or human caused factors. It is not unusual for a stock to stabilize at a low production level by achieving a balance with the particular set of survival pressures controlling its success. While Depressed stocks may not immediately be pushed to Critical status or face extinction, they are vulnerable to any additional negative impacts and can potentially change status very rapidly. Additionally, these stocks often constrain fishery harvest opportunity because of their low abundance.

Critical Stocks Critical  A stock of fish experiencing production levels that are so low that permanent damage to the stock is likely or has already occurred.

The Critical stock category is reserved for those stocks that have declined to a level where the stock is in jeopardy of significant loss of within stock diversity or, in the worst case, could face extinction. The loss of within stock diversity includes such factors as a reduction of range ( e. g., spawning and/ or rearing distribution), shifts in age at maturity, changes in body size, reduction in genetic variability, or lowered disease resistance. Major shifts in these or other attributes can all lead to significant reductions in a stock's ability to respond to changing conditions. The usual result is reduced survival and population size. Such stressed stocks can be caught in a downward spiral of ever increasing negative impacts that can lead to eventual extinction. In contrast, stocks in this category might reach an equilibrium with those factors controlling their performance and could display consistent population size and escapements for an extended period. While such stocks would appear to be stable, they could be delicately balanced, awaiting just one additional Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.4 A 1.64 negative impact to push them into failure. The Critical stocks are in need of immediate restoration efforts to ensure their continued existence and to return them to a productive state.

Unknown Stocks Unknown  There is insufficient information to rate stock status.

If sufficient trend information is not available or can not be used to assess status, stocks are rated as Unknown. Stocks rated as Unknown may be rated as Healthy, Depressed, Critical, or Extinct once more information is available. It is not known to what extent the Unknown stocks represent historically small populations. There is an immediate need to collect information on Unknown stocks. Historically small populations or currently small populations could be especially vulnerable to any negative impacts.

Extinct Stocks Extinct  A stock of fish that is no longer present in its original range, or as a distinct stock elsewhere. Individuals of the same species may be observed in very low numbers, consistent with straying from other stocks.

The SASSI process identifies extant salmonid stocks and makes no effort to identify and assess past extinctions. The past loss of stocks is an important historical fact that challenges resource management effectiveness. It would be difficult, however, to assemble any kind of comprehensive listing of past extinctions because many of these losses occurred prior to the time that enumeration programs were initiated. Since SASSI is an inventory of the current status of wild salmonid stocks, the inclusion of known past extinctions was not emphasized. The Extinct rating is included here to identify any current and future losses of stocks identified during the inventory process. The Extinct category is applied in the inventory if a stock that is currently being tracked in escapement or fishery management data bases is found to have been extirpated within its native range.

Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.5 A 1.67 Appendix Report 1.5 Derivation of Critical Status Thresholds for Management Units and Escapement Distribution and Minimum Escapements Flags for Stocks It is necessary to annually evaluate the abundance ( total return) and the escapement of the summer chum salmon of the region to ensure that timely adaptive management will occur if recovery objectives are not met. However, reliable data do not currently exist on the age composition of summer chum stocks and on the distribution of harvest among the stocks of summer chum. Thus, it is not possible to develop stock specific spawner/ recruit functions for use in evaluating specific fisheries effects for individual management units or stocks. This limits the fisheries managers' ability to assess incidental harvest impacts on the summer chum of the management units and stocks.

Because of these data limitations, the Base Conservation Regime is designed to be conservative in its approach and is believed to be sufficient to protect summer chum stocks for all immediately foreseeable conditions ( see section <IP_ADDRESS> for a description of the specific conduct of fisheries). However, to ensure the protection and restoration of individual stocks, and also to ensure the health and diversity of Hood Canal and Strait of Juan de Fuca summer chum as a whole, specific criteria have been developed to serve as critical thresholds ( or flags) to identify individual management units and stocks that may be performing poorly. In a post season review, annually estimated abundances ( total adult recruitments) and escapements are compared with the critical status thresholds and flags to assess the status of individual management 1 units and stocks. Also, in preparation for the next fishing season, the forecast run sizes and their parental brood run sizes and escapement are reviewed. If the estimated population parameters fall below the thresholds, or flags, then additional management measures beyond those provided in the Base Conservation Regime may be warranted. The application of these thresholds and flags is described in sections 1.7.3, <IP_ADDRESS> and 3.6.4, and their derivation is described below.

Critical Thresholds for Management Units The critical management unit thresholds for abundance and escapement are based on the lowest levels observed in the historical data. A " buffer" is added to the lowest observed values to obtain the thresholds. The " buffers" were determined as follows. First, the annual recruit abundances of each management unit, including all currently existing stocks, were examined for statistical outliers ( using Hadi outlier detection procedure of SYSTAT, version 9.0). This procedure was applied to all summer chum salmon management units for return years from 1974 through 1998 ( 25 years). Exceptions were made for the Discovery Bay Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.5 A 1.68 and Quilcene/ Dabob Bay management units, where the years 1995 1998 were excluded ( leaving a total of 21 years) because of substantial adult returns in that time period from summer chum supplementation projects.

The highest two detected abundance outliers of each management unit were removed with two exceptions. In the Discovery Bay Management Unit, only one outlier was found and removed, while in the Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit ( 12B), three outliers were removed because there was no significant difference between the second and third detected outliers.

Once the abundance outliers were removed, the " buffer" was calculated for each management unit as 25% of the range between the minimum and maximum abundance values. ( The exception is Discovery Bay where 20% of the range was used because of the distribution of the abundance values.) As indicated previously, the calculated " buffer" was added to the lowest abundance value of each management unit to obtain each critical abundance threshold level. The critical escapement threshold levels were then calculated by multiplying each abundance threshold by the estimated escapement rate for each management unit. ( The escapement rate was calculated by subtracting the Base Conservation Regime's estimated bycatch rate for each management unit from 1.0.) Data used and results of this procedure are shown in Appendix Table 1.5.1. The results are summarized as follows ( values rounded to nearest 10):

Management Unit Threshold Critical Abundance Critical Escapement Threshold Sequim Bay 220 200 Discovery Bay 790 720 Mainstem Hood Canal 2,980 2,660 Quilcene/ Dabob 1,260 1,110 SE Hood Canal 340 300 Total 5,590 4,990 Escapement Distribution Flags and Minimum Escapement Flags within the Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit Each management unit currently corresponds to one summer chum stock with the exception of the Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit, in which four individual stocks are represented. The Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit's thresholds ( described above), provide criteria for assessing the management unit as a whole but do not address the possibility of poor performance by its individual stocks. For example, in a given year, one or more stocks within the Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit may have a dangerously low escapement level that is not detectable by the management unit's threshold because other stocks in the unit may have a relatively high escapement level. Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.5 A 1.69 To address this problem, specific criteria were developed to detect when significant deviations occur from the expected distribution of escapement among the Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit's stocks, and to assist in determining when an individual stock's escapements fall below a critical level. These criteria are respectively called escapement distribution flags and minimum escapement flags.

The escapement distribution flags were computed in the following manner. The average proportional contribution of each stock to the Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit was calculated for the period of 1974 through 1980. Then, for each stock, one standard deviation was subtracted from the average contributed proportion to arrive at the value that would serve as the escapement distribution flag for that stock. The computation of the escapement distribution flag is shown in the following equation.

Escapement Distribution Flags 1980 3 x= 1974 Escapements EscapementHCMMU Standard Deviation of Average '  N where,

S = stock within the Hood Canal Mainstem Management Unit HCMMU = Hood Canal Mainstem Management Unit N = number of years between 1974 1980 The years 1974 through 1980 were used in the above computation because that was a period of relatively high abundance prior to the decline of the 1980s, and there was relatively stable distribution of escapements among the stocks within the Mainstem Management Unit. It was assumed that setting the flag one standard deviation below the average proportion of escapement would provide adequate detection of potentially dangerous deviation from the historical distribution pattern.

The minimum escapement flags were calculated by simply multiplying the above described average escapement proportions for each stock by the critical escapement threshold for the Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit as shown in the following equation.

Minimum Escapement Flag ' Threshold x Average 1974 1980 proportion s Critical Escapement HCMMU s where,

HCMMU = Hood Canal Mainstem Unit S = individual stock within HCCMU Summer Chum Salmon Conservation Initiative April 2000 Appendix Report 1.5 A 1.70 It was assumed that the minimum escapement flags, based on the Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit's threshold and the escapement distribution of the individual stocks, would provide adequate detection of dangerously low escapements for each stock.

The immediately following table describes for each Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit stock, the mean proportion of escapement in the non critical years of 1974 through 1980, the standard deviation, the escapement distribution flag and the minimum escapement flag.

This table also shows where the Mainstem Hood Canal Management Unit's total escapements were above and below the critical escapement threshold over the same years.

How the Mainstem Management Unit threshold and escapement flags function when they are applied to abundances and escapements of past years is shown in Appendix Table 1.5.2. The results of these applications demonstrate how the critical thresholds and the EDFs work together to ensure that a flag will be raised whenever the Hood Canal Mainstem Management Unit, or the stocks within it, experience severe abundance or escapement problems. They also demonstrate that the method used to derive the EDFs is conservative. EDFs are triggered in some years, but a closer examination reveals escapements to some stocks were, in fact, sufficient. Given the conservativeness of the approach, the triggering of an EDF requires an evaluation of the associated stock( s), but does not mandate that action be taken if it can be shown that the additional actions are not necessary ( see section 3.6.1).

[EPA-R09-OAR-2014-0538; FRL-9915-50-Region 9]

Revision of Air Quality Implementation Plan; California; Placer
County Air Pollution Control District; Stationary Source Permits

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a revision to the Placer County Air Pollution Control District
(PCAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP).
This revision concerns a permitting rule that regulates construction
and modifications of major stationary sources of air pollution. The
revisions correct deficiencies in PCAPCD Rule 502, New Source Review,
previously identified by EPA in a final rule dated September 24, 2013.
We are proposing to approve revisions that correct the identified
deficiencies.

DATES: Any comments must arrive by October 29, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses PCAPCD Rule 502, New
Source Review. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal
Register, we are approving this local rule in a direct final action
without prior proposal because we believe these SIP revisions are not
controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will publish
a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the comments
in a subsequent action based on this proposed rule. Please note that if
we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment.
    We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further
information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: July 31, 2014.
