FAQ

The Tributary Committees to the Wells, Rocky Reach, and Rock Island Projects' Habitat Conservation Plan (HCPs) will implement the Tributary Plan as described in the respective HCPs.  The HCPs provide "Plan Species Accounts" to fund projects to protect and restore salmonid  habitat in the Columbia River watershed from Chief Joseph Dam to Rock Island Dam. These funds are intended to compensate for 2% of the unavoidable mortality to steelhead and Chinook, sockeye, and coho salmon at each of the three hydroelectric projects.

The HCPs do not stipulate the relative allocation of funds to each tributary, yet each specifies a location that funding from each Plan is limited to. Funds from the Wells HCP are directed to the Columbia River and tributaries from Wells Dam to Chief Joseph Dam. Funds from the Rocky Reach and Rock Island HCPs are directed to the Columbia River and tributaries from Rock Island Dam to Chief Joseph. Funds from all three HCPs include waters of British Columbia that flow into the Okanogan watershed. The emphasis of these funds will be on project implementation, rather than studies, planning, or administrative support.

Additional information about the Tributary Conservation Plan is contained in Section 7 of the HCPs.
