Bonneville Power Administration  is proposing to fund the acquisition of two contiguous parcels consisting of a total of 51.88 acres in Clark County, Washington. The funding would be provided to the Friends of the Columbia Gorge Land Trust (Gorge Land Trust) to acquire these parcels, which are known as the Steigerwald Uplands, for inclusion into an adjacent wildlife refuge. The parcels are located about two miles east of the city of Washougal within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area (National Scenic Area) which was established in 1986 by the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act (16 U.S.C. 544‐544p).
