QUESTION: Project Review and Approval: Who at

USFWS will be responsible for reviewing and approving the design and documents? Will this be solely the refuge manager, or will other USFWS personnel be involved?

FWS RESPONSE: Refuge manager and project leader are primarily responsible for review and approval. Biological staff will be consulted as needed.

QUESTION: Stakeholders and Water Rights: Are there external stakeholders, neighbors, or adjacent landowners who may be involved in the project? Additionally, are there specific water rights concerns, or was this listed in Task 2 as a standard permitting requirement?

FWS RESPONSE: Fish Creek begins and ends within the refuge. Nevada Department of Wildlife may be consulted/involved as this project is within

Sheldon Tui Chub habitat. The headwaters to

Thousand Creek are located within the refuge and in many years, the creek dies up before it leaves the refuge boundary. However, it's terminus is at

Continental Lake, located off-refuge. We don't anticipate water rights concerns, however, that will be addressed through the permitting requirements.

QUESTION: Water Quality & Sediment Transport

Plan: Is this plan intended only for construction/implementation, or does it apply to post-construction monitoring under Task 5?

FWS RESPONSE: (Not sure what they're asking here¿I can't find reference to Task numbers in the Solicitation--number 5 in the SOW is related to a data management plan, however, I believe the water quality logbook is a permit requirement during construction and has to be submitted after construction is completed)

QUESTION: Core Habitat and Growth Opportunity

Areas: The project map highlights core habitat and growth opportunity areas. Can you confirm
