body

DEPARTMENT:  Conservation and Natural Resources

ORIGINATOR:  Connie Price/Daniel Howe

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved by Lacey Harper 8/17/23

PURPOSE: Approve the Tulalip Tribes ILA agreement with the County to implement portions of the Snohomish Cooperative Salmon Barrier Removal Project 

BACKGROUND: The Tulalip Tribes was awarded grant funds from the U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Restoring Fish Passage through Barrier Removal Notice of Funding Opportunity under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) under Federal Award ID Number NA23NMF4630025 (the “Tribes’ Grant”) to implement the Snohomish Cooperative Salmon Barrier Removal Project. The goal of the Tribes’ Grant is to achieve measurable and lasting benefits to native migratory or sea-run (Migratory) fish populations through fish passage barrier removal. The Tribes’ Grant identifies the County as a subrecipient which requires the County and the Tribes to enter into an Interlocal Agreement to implement fish passage projects on Sexton Creek, Williams Creek, and French Creek. The County’s goals include removal of four fish passage barriers to restore fish access to approximately 8.7 miles of upstream habitat.
