| coordination with the department of natural resources and lead entity groups,
the department must establish a ranked inventory of fish passage barriers on
land owned by small forest landowners based on the principle of fixing the worst
first within a watershed consistent with the fish passage priorities of the
forest and fish report. The department shall first gather and synthesize all
available existing information about the locations and impacts of fish passage
barriers in Washington. This information must include, but not be limited to,
the most recently available limiting factors analysis conducted pursuant to RCW 77.85.060(2),
the stock status information contained in the department of fish and wildlife
salmonid stock inventory (SASSI), the salmon and steelhead habitat inventory and
assessment project (SSHIAP), and any comparable science-based assessment when
available. The inventory of fish passage barriers must be kept current and at a
minimum be updated by the beginning of each calendar year. Nothing in this
section grants the department or others additional right of entry onto private
property. |
