WAFWA is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization representing 23 states and Canadian provinces, advocating appropriate management of fish and wildlife within the borders of member states. FWFW is a 501(c)(3) that serves as the fiscal agent for WAFWA and will receive funds from Participants. WAFWA will serve as the administrator of this CCAA and will hold the Enhancement of Survival Permit issued in association with this CCAA, subject to FWS oversight consistent with 50 C.F.R. § 13.21(e)(2). WAFWA will also maintain positions for biologists to facilitate enrollment of property in the CCAA and distribute funds for conservation efforts through coordination with other state and Federal agency staff and outreach to property owners. FWFW will serve as the fiscal agent for this agreement, managing a non-wasting endowment to fund conservation activities that will benefit the LEPC through habitat restoration, enhancements and the removal of threats. These conservation activities will offset industry impacts and will also provide a conservation benefit to the LEPC. FWFW will maintain positions for accounting and administrative staff, as well as GIS support for this agreement. This structure is fully described in the WAFWA Business Plan for Implementing the LEPC RWP, contained in Appendix L of the RWP. Hereafter these two organizations will be referred to collectively as “WAFWA.”
