Section 226.219 - Critical habitat for the Southern Distinct Population Segment of North American Green Sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris)Critical habitat is designated for the Southern Distinct Population Segment of North American green sturgeon (Southern DPS) as described in this section. The textual descriptions of critical habitat in this section are the definitive source for determining the critical habitat boundaries. The overview maps are provided for general guidance purposes only and not as a definitive source for determining critical habitat boundaries.
(a)Critical habitat boundaries. Critical habitat in freshwater riverine areas includes the stream channels and a lateral extent as defined by the ordinary high-water line (33 CFR 329.11 ). In areas for which the ordinary high-water line has not been defined pursuant to 33 CFR 329.11 , the lateral extent will be defined by the bankfull elevation. Bankfull elevation is the level at which water begins to leave the channel and move into the floodplain and is reached at a discharge which generally has a recurrence interval of 1 to 2 years on the annual flood series. Critical habitat in bays and estuaries includes tidally influenced areas as defined by the elevation of mean higher high water. The boundary between coastal marine areas and bays and estuaries are delineated by the COLREGS lines ( 33 CFR 80 ). Critical habitat in coastal marine areas is defined by the zone between the 60 fathom (fm) depth bathymetry line and the line on shore reached by mean lower low water (MLLW), or to the COLREGS lines. (1)Coastal marine areas: All U.S. coastal marine waters out to the 60 fm depth bathymetry line (relative to MLLW) from Monterey Bay, California (36°38'12" N./121°56'13" W.) north and east to include waters in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington. The Strait of Juan de Fuca includes all U.S. marine waters: in Clallam County east of a line connecting Cape Flattery (48°23'10" N./124°43'32" W.), Tatoosh Island (48°23'30" N./124°44'12" W.), and Bonilla Point, British Columbia (48°35'30" N./124°43'00" W.); in Jefferson and Island counties north and west of a line connecting Point Wilson (48°08'38" N./122°45'07" W.) and Partridge Point (48°13'29" N./122°46'11" W.); and in San Juan and Skagit counties south of lines connecting the U.S.-Canada border (48°27'27" N./123°09'46" W.) and Pile Point (48°28'56" N./123°05'33" W.), Cattle Point (48°27'1" N./122°57'39" W.) and Davis Point (48°27'21" N./122°56'03" W.), and Fidalgo Head (48°29'34" N./122°42'07" W.) and Lopez Island (48°28'43" N./122°49'08" W.).(2)Freshwater riverine habitats: Critical habitat is designated to include the following freshwater riverine areas in California: (i) Sacramento River, California.

Abundant prey items for larval, juvenile, subadult, and adult life stages.(ii)Substrate type or size (i.e., structural features of substrates). Substrates suitable for egg deposition and development (e.g., bedrock sills and shelves, cobble and gravel, or hard clean sand, with interstices or irregular surfaces to "collect" eggs and provide protection from predators, and free of excessive silt and debris that could smother eggs during incubation), larval development (e.g., substrates with interstices or voids providing refuge from predators and from high flow conditions), and subadults and adults (e.g., substrates for holding and spawning).(iii)Water flow. A flow regime (i.e., the magnitude, frequency, duration, seasonality, and rate-of-change of fresh water discharge over time) necessary for normal behavior, growth, and survival of all life stages.(iv)Water quality. Water quality, including temperature, salinity, oxygen content, and other chemical characteristics, necessary for normal behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages.(v)Migratory corridor. A migratory pathway necessary for the safe and timely passage of Southern DPS fish within riverine habitats and between riverine and estuarine habitats (e.g., an unobstructed river or dammed river that still allows for safe and timely passage).(vi)Depth. Deep ([GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]5 m) holding pools for both upstream and downstream holding of adult or subadult fish, with adequate water quality and flow to maintain the physiological needs of the holding adult or subadult fish.(vii)Sediment quality. Sediment quality (i.e., chemical characteristics) necessary for normal behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages.(2)For estuarine habitats:(i)Food resources. Abundant prey items within estuarine habitats and substrates for juvenile, subadult, and adult life stages.(ii)Water flow. Within bays and estuaries adjacent to the Sacramento River (i.e., the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the Suisun, San Pablo, and San Francisco bays), sufficient flow into the bay and estuary to allow adults to successfully orient to the incoming flow and migrate upstream to spawning grounds.(iii)Water quality. Water quality, including temperature, salinity, oxygen content, and other chemical characteristics, necessary for normal behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages.(iv)Migratory corridor. A migratory pathway necessary for the safe and timely passage of Southern DPS fish within estuarine habitats and between estuarine and riverine or marine habitats.(v)Depth. A diversity of depths necessary for shelter, foraging, and migration of juvenile, subadult, and adult life stages.(vi)Sediment quality. Sediment quality (i.e., chemical characteristics) necessary for normal behavior, growth, and viability of all life stages.(3)For nearshore coastal marine areas:(i)Migratory corridor. A migratory pathway necessary for the safe and timely passage of Southern DPS fish within marine and between estuarine and marine habitats.(ii)Water quality. Nearshore marine waters with adequate dissolved oxygen levels and acceptably low levels of contaminants (e.g., pesticides, organochlorines, elevated levels of heavy metals) that may disrupt the normal behavior, growth, and viability of subadult and adult green sturgeon.(iii)Food resources. Abundant prey items for subadults and adults, which may include benthic invertebrates and fishes.(c)Sites owned or controlled by the Department of Defense. Critical habitat does not include the following areas owned or controlled by the Department of Defense, or designated for its use, in the States of California, Oregon, and Washington: (1) Mare Island U.S. Army Reserve Center, San Pablo Bay, CA;(2) Strait of Juan de Fuca naval air-to-surface weapon range, restricted area, WA;(3) Strait of Juan de Fuca and Whidbey Island naval restricted area, WA;(4) Admiralty Inlet naval restricted area, Strait of Juan de Fuca, WA; and(5) Navy 3 operating area, Strait of Juan de Fuca, WA.(d)Indian lands. Critical habitat does not include any Indian lands of the following Federally-recognized Tribes in the States of California, Oregon, and Washington: (1) Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Community, California;(2) Cher-Ae Heights Trinidad Rancheria, California;(3) Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw, Oregon;(4) Coquille Indian Tribe, Oregon;(5) Hoh Tribe, Washington;(6) Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, Washington;(7) Lower Elwha Tribe, Washington;(8) Makah Tribe, Washington;(9) Quileute Tribe, Washington;(10) Quinault Tribe, Washington;(11) Shoalwater Bay Tribe, Washington;(12) Wiyot Tribe, California; and(13) Yurok Tribe, California.74 FR 52345, Oct. 9, 2009
