The economic impact of the proposed amendments is expected to be minimal due to a number of factors, including the current existence of other species in the same habitat that are already listed as threatened or endangered (concerning the Silver chub). To the extent the proposed amendments would lead to additional review of projects that would impact one of this species or its habitat, the economic impact would be anticipated to be small. State law requires a permit of such a project only if publicly funded or if a state or federal permit is already required. Of approximately 1000 to 1500 projects reviewed annually, only 20-30 require a permit, and less than 5 percent are required to perform additional mitigation. The proposed amendments would impose some cost on the department for the development and implementation of a recovery plan for the silver chub. However, the plan would be developed based on a priority list of all listed species. No other economic impact on the public or other state agencies is anticipated.
