Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) to continue an existing framework for funding and implementation of resident fish mitigation through September 30, 2025. The proposed MOU would provide for the acquisition of real property interests to mitigate for impacts to resident fish caused by the construction and inundation of the Hungry Horse Dam and Reservoir and addressing, in part, BPA’s obligations under the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act of 1980 (Northwest Power Act) (16 U.S.C. (USC) 839 et seq.).
