Abstract:

The purpose of this environmental monitoring project is to comply with select elements of the Reasonable and Prudent Measure and Terms and Conditions of the City of Albuquerque Drinking Water Project Biological Opinion (Biological Opinion) (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service [USFWS] 2004) and the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Albuquerque Drinking Water Project (Bureau of Reclamation 2004). Since the Biological Opinion was issued in 2004, the City of Albuquerque, Water Resource Division, has formally become the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA). The ABCWUA is now responsible for implementing the mitigation measures contained in the Biological Opinion.
