PacifiCorp will fund 100 percent of hatchery operations and maintenance necessary to fulfill annual mitigation objectives developed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service. This includes funding the Iron Gate Hatchery facility as well as funding of other hatcheries necessary to meet ongoing mitigation objectives following Facilities Removal. Hatchery operations include development and implementation of a Hatchery Genetics Management Plan as well as a 25% constant fractional marking program. Funding will be provided for hatchery operations to meet mitigation requirements and will continue for eight years following the Decommissioning of Iron Gate Dam. PacifiCorp’s eight-year funding obligation assumes that dam removal will occur within one year of cessation of power generation at Iron Gate Dam. If Facilities Removal occurs after one year of cessation of power generation at Iron Gate Dam, then the Parties will Meet and Confer to determine appropriate hatchery funding beyond the eight years.
