ITEM 1:

USFWS Request for Reallocation of Eagle Lakes Acquisition Funds

DISCUSSION

The USFWS reported that the Eagle Lakes property had sold to a private developer and requested WC support for transferring $1,645,000 in carry forward funds intended for Eagle Lakes acquisition to the Rattlesnake Slope Addition. The Rattlesnake Slope Addition was judged to address the same objectives as the Eagle Lakes property and was only 21 miles away.

ACTION:

The WC approved the USFWS request with the condition that: 1) no wildlife mitigation credits from this project will be charged against wildlife construction and inundation losses for Chief Joseph or Grand Coulee dams and 2) the remaining funds be provided through the Council Exceptions Process for the Columbia Plateau Province.
