As indicated in Section 6, recovery of listed fish species in the Upper Columbia Basin may cost at least 125 million dollars. A major uncertainty is exactly how recovery will be funded. HCPs and binding mitigation agreements ensure that some programs (e.g., state-run mitigation hatchery programs, tributary habitat fund, etc.) have secure funding and will continue operating into the future. However, these programs fall well short of funding the total needs of this plan. Additional funding will be required to implement this recovery plan.
8.6.1Funding Sources
This plan will rely on the following funding sources to aid in implementing the Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Plan.
8.6.2Order Projects Will Be Funded
Projects will be funding according to the prioritization framework described in Section 8.3.1. In short, the prioritization of projects for funding will be based on a balance between the biological benefit of the project and the cost and feasibility of implementing the project (see Figure 8.3Error: Reference source not found). Projects that address primary limiting factors, have high biological benefit, are relatively inexpensive, and are feasible to implement will receive highest funding priority. Projects that are expensive, have low biological benefit to listed fish species, and have relatively low feasibility will receive lowest funding priority.
