  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Operational Plan for Anadromous, Salmon Ranching Activities 1991 Abstract -- Statutes authorizing private salmon ranching were approved by the 1971 Oregon Legislature. Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS 508.700-508.745) authorize issue of permits for chum salmon ("Oncorhynchus keta") hatcheries and provide guidance for the review of applications, conduct of operations, and general requirements for termination of permits under certain circumstances. In 1973 the Legislature added coho ("0. kisutch") and chinook ("O. tshawytscha") salmon to the private hatchery statutes. The Fish Commission of Oregon was charged with administering laws related to the operation of private hatcheries, and since merger of the Fish and Wildlife commissions in 1975, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Department has been responsible for administration of laws relating to private salmon hatcheries. Administrative rules established by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission (Commission) describe policies and restrictions for the siting, operation, evaluation, and monitoring of private hatcheries. The Commission has the primary authority and responsibility to approve or modify the hatchery operational plans developed by the Department. The scope, technical requirements, or both, of these operational plans may be changed by the Commission in the future to reflect the acquisition of new information or new interpretations of old data. This operational plan is one of a series of written documents prepared by the Department at the direction of the Commission and House Bill 2735 (which amended ORS 508.715, 720, and 740). This operational plan has been written to encompass private salmon ranching activities conducted through the Anadromous Inc. release and recapture facilities located near Jordan Point and North spit in Coos Bay. The provisions contained in this operational plan are applicable to, and shall be binding to any successive owner or owners that may acquire the Anadromous salmon ranching permit in the future. Thus, any references in this plan to Anadromous shall be understood to be applicable to any subsequent permittee to whom the permit may be transferred. Anadromous, Inc. has been engaged in salmon ranching activities in Oregon since 1974. Initially located near St. Helens on the Columbia River, the company shifted operations to Jordan Point in Coos Bay and later acquired the North Spit facility from OreAqua, Inc. in 1984. Anadromous did not release chum, coho or chinook smolts in 1990 at either the North Spit or Jordan Point facility. At this time both facilities are for sale.
