Calculation of Hatchery Commitments. During Phase I, the District shall provide the funding and capacity required of the District to meet the 7% hatchery compensation level necessary to achieve NNI. Juvenile Project Survival estimates, when available, will be used to adjust hatchery based compensation programs and adult survival estimates will be used to adjust the Plan Species Account contribution. However, should adult survival rates fall below 98% but the Combined Adult and Juvenile survival rates be maintained above 91%, additional hatchery compensation for adult losses, toward a maximum contribution of 7% compensation provided through hatchery programs, would be utilized to provide compensation for Unavoidable Project Mortality. The rationale for determining the initial hatchery production commitment requirement is supported by Supporting Document B, “Biological Assessment and Management Plan: Mid-Columbia Hatchery Program”. The Parties recognize that Supporting Document B is a supporting document and does not by itself create contractual obligations.
