Topics n n n Legislative History Goals & Benefits Conservation Actions Operational Overview Budget n n n Operations Non-recurring maintenance Equipment HRT/HSRG/Bi. Op/US v OR Summary
Legislative History n n Public Law 85 -264(1958): Required the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) to develop a plan to compensate for fish & wildlife losses caused by construction & operation of the four Lower Snake River dams. Public Law 94 -587 (1976): Authorized construction & operation of the LSRCP in accordance with the COE plan. Public Law 103 -672 (1995): Authorized construction of fall Chinook acclimation facilities to support conservation efforts. LSRCP funding is “a Power Related Expenses” i. e. an inherent cost of operating the four dams.
Goals n n Locating hatcheries guided by desire to replace lost salmon, steelhead & trout “in place and in kind”. Goals for adult returns above Lower Granite Dam n n n Fall Chinook Salmon – 18, 300 Spring Chinook – 58, 700 Steelhead – 55, 100 Rainbow Trout: 86, 000 lbs (about 215, 000 fish) Anticipated benefits (COE cost/benefit study): n n 817, 000 days of recreational fishing (150, 000 fish harvest), 260, 000 coast-wide commercial harvest.
LSRCP Conservation Activities n Integrated programs to support conservation n n Spring Chinook – NE Oregon, Tucannon, Mc. Call, Sawtooth Snake River Fall Chinook Steelhead – Clearwater, Tucannon, Touchet, E. Fork Salmon Juvenile supplementation strategies – increase natural stock abundance & distribution: Released in locations where returning adults can spawn naturally, n 47% of fall Chinook (2. 1 million fish) n 31% of steelhead (1. 7 million fish) n 34% of spring Chinook. (2. 8 million fish) n Adult outplanting - increase abundance & distribution.
Operational Overview COE constructed facilities. n FWS owns facilities & administers program. n States, tribes & FWS operate facilities & evaluate program. n BPA funds LSRCP through Memoranda of Agreement. n
FY 12 – FY 13 Budget
LSRCP Budget Components Operations n Non-Recurring Maintenance n Real Property n Equipment n n HRT/HSRG/Bi. Op
Ongoing Operational Budget FY 12 -13 n n n Includes Hatchery Operations & M&E Generally stable program. FWS will continue aggressive cost containment. High inflation rate of 6% seen in previous rate case period for fish food, energy, commodities, heath insurance and salaries will moderate to near long term average of 3. 5% Assume that 75% expenses accrue in current year and 25% in following year. Request is $18. 0 m/yr average expense

Most (65%) built in 1980’s now 25 + years old. Maintenance is an inherent cost of ownership and public trust
A Structured Approach to Assessing Needs n n n n n Annual Condition Assessments Safety Inspections Seismic Surveys Bridge Inspections Environmental Compliance Audits ADA Inspections ESA Consultations (fish passage, screening) Mission Requirements & Programmatic Review Other State & Federal Legal Compliance Audits
Prioritizing Projects n All projects ranked through a formal process: n n n n Importance of asset Substitutability of asset Human safety Fish Security ADA compliance ESA compliance Environmental compliance Risk of further deterioration Energy efficiency Mission requirements Scientific defensibility Visitor services General application is to ensure mission requirements, human safety, fish security and legal obligations are met first.
Program Components Deferred – fix broken items n Preventative – minimize untimely failures of mission critical assets n Corrective – meet current standards (e. g. ESA) n Programmatic – meet mission needs n Routine Maintenance – LSRCP purchase to save agency overhead. n

§ Hatchery Reform Drivers Specific Projects in Hydro System Biological Opinion n Tucannon & Touchet Steelhead (RPA 40) n East Fork Salmon River Steelhead (RPA 42) • HSRG – NOAA/Congress Hatchery Review • U. S. F. W. S. Hatchery Scientific Review • RPA 39 & 40 – Utilize BPS in Section 7 Consultations to not Impede Recovery & Reduce Genetic/Ecological Risks
Summary of Recommendations • 499 HRT recommendations • 69 HSRG recommendations • Many reflect US. v OR Agreement • LSRCP staff have reviewed – and provided initial response – some no cost, some rejected or unlikely to get co-manager support only 94 were assigned a cost estimate • Final List Awaits Comanager Review & NOAA Review & Approval
Classification of Expenses n Four Classes of Expenses Large Capital > $1. 0 m & 15 yrs n Small Capital < $1. 0 m n Annual Hatchery Operations n Annual M&E n n Eleven Categories of Expenses within Each Class: ESA, Fish heath, Fish security, Human safety, Legal obligation, Production reform, Facility security, Pollution abatement, Facility maintenance, I & E, Production
Forecasted Summary Actual Amounts may Differ once HGMPs Approved, Designs Finalized, & Projects Peer Reviewed n Large Capital all ESA Related n Small Capital - Dominated by Fish Health, ESA Production Reforms & Fish Security n Annual O&M Costs are Relatively Minor n Annual RM&E Costs Dominated by ESA to Evaluate Conservation Programs n
