8.6Funding Strategy


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.

  • The Washington Salmon Recovery Funding Board.

  • Public Utility District funds.

  • The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) Fish and Wildlife Program.

  • The Federal Columbia River Power System Biological Opinion.

  • Appropriations from the Washington State Legislature for state agency budgets (WDFW, WDOE, Conservation Districts).

  • Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Fund (NMFS).

  • Appropriations from the U.S. Congress for federal agency (USACE, USFWS, USGS, USFS, NRCS, BOR, and BLM).

  • Local government mechanisms funded through state legislative appropriations.

  • Other nongovernmental organizations such as the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Regional Fishery Enhancement Groups, the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, and the Bullitt Foundation.

  • Voluntary projects funded through public and private partnerships.

    The UCSRB recommends that in addition to funding recovery actions, funding sources shall also pay for all monitoring and evaluation activities associated with recovery actions.


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.
