Future Council considerations for federal appropriations for fish and wildlife implementation April 10, 2003
Anticipate subbasin plans Subbasin plans will form an improved documentation of regional needs. Local constituencies will use them to seek funding from a variety of sources. The Council can help organize a coherent regional implementation strategy based on subbasin plans.
What we should be working on today? Help define the implementation “tool box” for subbasin plans. Specifically, the subbasin plans will include strategies that define project needs. Early identification of funding sources is key to implementing subbasin. plans.
“Tools” in the “toolbox” If a subbasin plan calls for : –Reducing sedimentation – CREP. –Screening irrigation diversions – FWS screening, BOR, Mitchell Act sources. –Improving water quantity in tributaries – NFWF water brokerage. –Hatchery upgrades – Corps, Mitchell Act funding sources.
How we make progress Define the various funding sources. Determine flexibility for priorities – Forest Service may have less than Reclamation or Corps. Determine needed improvements in authorities or decision processes. Facilitate a regional process.
