The Klamath River Basin faces long-standing water resource and fisheries disputes. This grant is for the Klamath Tribes to provide essential technical assistance for developing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) analysis. This analysis will inform the Secretary of the Interior’s critical decision regarding the potential removal of four hydroelectric dams from the Klamath River, a key step in the Secretarial Determination process. The Tribes will review and comment on Bureau of Reclamation contractor deliverables, including the draft EIS/EIR, ensuring scientific evidence assesses impacts on salmonid fisheries and the basin’s ecosystem over 50 years. They will also contribute to the ethnographic sections, ensuring cultural and social conditions are adequately addressed in federal products. This vital work aims to inform a decision advancing salmonid restoration and public interest.

| Description: | Background: The United States has a strong interest in addressing long standing disputes over scarce water resources and fisheries restoration in the Klamath River Basin. Decades of water conflicts in the Klamath Basin between conservationists, tribes, farmers, fishermen and state and federal Agencies have recently devolved into a rotating crisis for Klamath Basin communities. The United States, since 2003, has spent over $500 million in the Klamath basin for irrigation, fisheries, wildlife refuges, and other resource enhancements and management actions.Concurrent with the rotating crisis of resource issues during the past decade, PacifiCorp, the owner of the Klamath River Hydroelectric Project (Project), submitted an application for a hydropower relicensing to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). However, PacifiCorp and interested parties have since signed an agreement in principle to consider removing the lower four Project dams. The Secretary of the Interior will make a final decision, the Secretarial Determination (SD), after determining whether removal of the four hydroelectric dams will advance restoration of the salmonid fisheries of the Klamath Basin and is in the best interest of the public. To inform the Secretary, biological information and modeling will be necessary regarding two alternatives for management of the dams with a time horizon of 50 years starting in 2020. Under the SD process, the best scientific evidence will be required to estimate potential impacts of dam removal or retention on Klamath Basin fisheries.TASKS:Review deliverables produced by the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) contractor that will be developing the CEQA/NEPA compliance documents, including the administrative Draft EIS/EIR, and responses to comments, and assist contractor with preparation of the Klamath Tribes ethnographic section.Travel as necessary to meetings related to above tasks.The Klamath Tribes will provide written products relating to the following key issues: Effects of Facilities Removal and related actions of the Klamath Tribes cultural and social conditions; Adequacy of draft federal products describing effects of Facilities Removal and related actions.TIMELINE: The timeline of this agreement will be consistent with the timing of the Secretarial Determination. The final EIS/EIR is expected for release in November 2011. The draft EIS/EIR should be available for public review in March 2011, and all of the preliminary draft and draft efforts would occur before that release date, starting immediately. SPECIFIC WORK PRODUCTS:Assist with drafting of the EIS and EIR ethnographic sections pertaining to the Klamath Tribes.Review and comment on drafts of the EIS and EIR and studies used to prepare them, as appropriate.BUDGET:TOTAL PROJECT COST: $25,000.00Salaries, Travel, Contractual Services, and Indirect |
