| Amount anticipated from previously committed BPA funds | $250,000 |

| FY 2001 forecast from 2000 | $1,350,000 |
| % change from forecast | -98.2% |
Reason for change in estimated budget
The FY2001 Budget forecast included the $1,000,000 in acquisition funds and $350,000 in restoration and enhancement funds for an additional Tualatin parcel, the Hendricksen tract. Although the entire budget request was forecasted in the Tualatin Additions FY 2000 proposal, the acquisition component was in reality requested through the OWC Securing Wildlife Mitigation Sites (Project No. 9705900). Because this was confusing, the acquisition component is now being addressed through OWC's 2001 Budget Update (Project No. 199705900) and this proposal only addresses the restoration and enhancement component for the Oleson tract and does not include restoration funding needs for the Hendricksen tract.
Reason for change in scope
The change from $350,000 to $24,250 is primarily the result of timing delays, logical sequence for task completion, and staff workloads. Because the MOA between FWS and BPA has not yet been executed for the transference of funds to commence planning and restoration activities for the Oleson parcel, there is insufficient time to complete the planning, design, and construction tasks for the Hendricksen parcel prior to the end of the 2001 construction season. In addition, total contract and force account costs to restore the hydrology and native plant community for the Oleson tract are projected at $623,500. The Bureau of Reclamation, Ducks Unlimited, and several non-profit volunteer organizations will provide partner contributions to leverage the $274,250 BPA funds in addition to the USFWS share ($214,250), pending approval of the USFWS FY 2003 budget request.
