| Notes | This document is the final biological opinion on the environmental suitability of construction of the NOAA Marine Operations Center - Pacific facility on Yaquina Bay. "The Corps determined the proposed action is likely to adversely affect Oregon Coast (OC) coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), Southern green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris), and Southern Eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus). The Corps also determined the proposed action is likely to adversely affect designated critical habitat forOC coho salmon and Southern green sturgeon.." In light of these determinations, the Corps consulted with NMFS to learn if the construction would be permissible, and what measures must be taken to mitigate the impact of the construction. This document outlines possible hazards and mandates mitigation activities.
