The Bureau of Reclamation is offering this grant to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with the Chelan Douglas Land Trust (CDLT) for implementing critical habitat improvement projects in the Middle Entiat Subbasin. This grant is for leveraging CDLT’s unique position, as they own or are negotiating ownership of approximately 75% of the private lands affected by six planned projects. As a non-profit, CDLT’s participation requires specific landowner agreements and careful management of risks and liabilities. While such reviews are typically reimbursed via multiple project sponsors, Reclamation has decided to work directly with CDLT. This direct engagement will ensure greater efficiency and consistent expectations for all projects, streamlining the collaborative efforts for vital habitat restoration.

| Description: | Reclamation plans to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with the Chelan Douglas Land Trust (CDLT) to partner with Reclamation on implementing habitat improvement projects in the Middle Entiat. CDLT is in a unique position because approximately 75% of the private lands will be affected by the 6 projects are owned, or are in negotiations to be owned, by the CDLT. As a non-profit, CDLT is only able to partner on projects on their lands, working through landowner agreements, ensuring that the projects are consistent with the conditions set on those lands through previous agreements, dealing with risk and liability, etc. These types of reviews are typically reimbursed to landowners (WSDOT, BNSF, USFS, etc) through the project sponsor or other agreements, but since CDLT lands are so prevalent, Reclamation has decided to deal directly with them instead of through multiple sponsors. This will be more efficient and ensured that all projects are subject to consistent expectations of CDLT. |
