The decision authorizes the issuance of a pesticide use permit to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to treat the Dixie National Forest portions of approximately 8.5 miles of the Boulder Creek system. The project will remove nonnative trout which will allow for reintroduction of Colorado River cutthroat trout. The range of the Colorado River cutthroat trout has declined dramatically due to habitat loss and the introduction of other sport fish species. Agency biologists and anglers have been working for many years to restore the Colorado River Cutthroat Trout to its historic range throughout the Colorado River basin. "We are excited to be a part of this significant conservation action," said Rob MacWhorter, Dixie National Forest Supervisor. "Boulder Creek provides ideal habitat for this native trout species to flourish. In just a few years, anglers will be able to experience the thrill of catching Colorado River cutthroat trout in its native environment." "This population of Colorado cutthroat trout is important to the overall restoration of these native trout within their historic range, and we support the Forest Service and the partnership in their efforts to restore them in the Boulder Creek system," said Doug Fruge, the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service Fishery Supervisor for Utah. "This decision will allow significant progress in the conservation of native cutthroat trout in the Escalante River system in Southern Utah" said Roger Wilson, a representative of the Utah Colorado River cutthroat trout conservation team, a multidisciplinary group of Federal and State ter with CCR as well.
