Should Fish PM&E Compliance = Success?

Skagit Project History  Relicensed 1995  18 Years of PM&E Implementation  30 Year License remains in effect until 2025  Seven distinct PM&E Fish Programs

Original Skagit Hydro Fish PM&E FERC Compliance Monitoring FERC Effectiveness Monitoring PM&E Course Change Flow Management Program For Downstream Salmon Protection Required (Semi-Annual Report) No Requirement (Self-Implemented) Voluntary Flow Measures Transitioned To License Requirements Steelhead Smolt Production Program Required (Annual Report) No Requirement (Self-Implemented) Hatchery Smolt Production  Steelhead Recovery Research Off-Channel Chum Habitat Development Required (Annual Report) No Requirement (Self-Implemented) Allow Habitat Development Outside Project Area

Program Objective “Increase steelhead production in the upper Skagit River to offset any residual project impacts on the steelhead fishery resource” Steelhead Smolt Production Program

Actual Implementation Steps & Schedule Year 1 Year 10 Year 20 Year 30 1-Year Design Phase 5-Year Implementation Delay 1-Year Construction Phase 4-Year Smolt Production (250,000/yr) ?

Program Assumption More Smolts  More Adults Actual Result More Smolts  Less Adults

Years of SCL Augmented Smolt Production

Actual Implementation Steps & Schedule Year 1 Year 10 Year 20 Year 30 1-Year Design Phase 5-Year Implementation Delay 1-Year Construction Phase 4-Year Smolt Production (250,000/yr) Smolt Production Funds Reprogrammed to Wild Steelhead Research and Restoration Activities

Without Non-Required Licensee Effectiveness Monitoring Several PM&E Programs Would Have Fallen Short Of Mitigation Intent

Program Change Factors License authority (build in) Oversight Committee Desire (Original Program Failure) Resource Policy Change Science Driven

Steelhead Smolt Production Program  license adopted fisheries settlement agreement provided the latitude for the oversight committee to modify program objectives and shift funds between programs.  FERC Notification (not approval) is the final step in the modification process
