1 NPCC Wildlife Crediting Forum Issue Resolution March 17, 2010

2 Decision-making Process Issues from the first two Forum meetings have been discussed, presented on, and recorded; and now consolidated and sorted (by facilitators and Forum Chair) into three primary categories. A fourth category – issues considered (by Forum Chair) outside of the purview of the Forum - has also been included. The issues under the primary categories were sorted by perceived “degree of difficulty” (by facilitators and Forum Chair) in eventually reaching consensus.

3 Decision-making Process - II Confirm the list of issues/concerns that are “off-the table.” Take up each primary Issue Category, and specific issues therein, in the order presented. Work to achieve consensus on what is needed to reach resolution on each issue.

4 Consensus Expressed in Terms of: Agreement as to NAME & definition of issue. Agreement as to KEY QUESTIONS, INFORMATION, and/or ACTIONS that form a path to resolution. Identification of the other issues on the agenda for which resolution of the issue under discussion may be LINKED. Recommendation(s) on how resolution of the issue under discussion will be taken to the “NEXT STEP.”

5 Issues Outside of Scope When is an Agreement an Agreement What prior Agreements/Programs are “part of” the current Program Replacement of the Pisces database program Time lag between impact and compensation Substitution of a completely different model from HEP

6 Clear Path to Resolution Replacing minimum HUs with actual HUs in the Ledger Using HEP only as an accounting tool Separate Willamette Basin crediting system Wildlife credits for fish projects Stacking credits

7 Uncertain Path to Resolution Where to “start” the Ledger - is the amount of mitigation remaining as of 2000 uniformly understood and agreed to? Credit for gains from construction and inundation impacts Resolving over- and under mitigation – and the potential for over-counting HUs

8 Unclear Path to Resolution To annualize or not to annualize Incorporation of baseline or “protection” credits Credit for pre-Act mitigation Basic mitigation rule (e.g.: 1:1 or 2:1). What basic metric(s) will apply to remaining mitigation crediting?
