Reason for change in estimated budget
The FY2001 included an estimated budget for the design and construction of the Office/Research Facility at Nelson Springs. The NPPC approved the design costs ($200,000) for FY2001, but delayed approval of actual construction. The budget for FY2002 includes the re-submittal of the Nelson Springs construction budget, and the re-submittal of the CESRF Interpretative Center, which was denied approval in FY2001.
Reason for change in scope
No new projects have been proposed for FY2002.

Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Fundable only if response is adequate
Jun 15, 2001
Comment:
Fundable in Part for FY02, and approve annually or at milestones after that.
For FY02 this proposal is limited to the replacement of YN office facilities ($1,375,000 in FY02) at Nelson Springs (Parcel "B") and construction of an Interpretative Center ($220,000 in FY02) at Cle Elum Supplementation and Research facility. The proposal provides good justification for the replacement of current offices at Nelson Springs and the ISRP advises that an Interpretative Center could provided substantial educational value given the research programs at that facility. The new office facility would provide secure housing of the YN research library, their Data Management Center, and presently eight staff members.
Future allocations under this proposal are contingent on the results of feasibility studies for coho and fall chinook restoration programs, and of the steelhead kelt re-conditioning program. The potential costs of these future construction projects are substantial and can only really be considered following review of the studies. Planning for the coho and fall chinook production programs were expected to begin in 2003 and 2004.

No cost-share. This project provides for new office space and an interpretive center for YKFP. It does not directly address an RPA. YKFP should be put in one large project bundle for consideration.Comment:
ISRP "agree if funded in part" recommendations for Yakima Fisheries Project Design and Construction; Project 198811525.
The Yakima/Klickitat Fisheries Project (YKFP) proposes to construct new office space at the Nelson Springs site (Section 5, objective 1, task a, b and c at $1,375,000) and completion of the construction for the Interpretative Center (Section 5, objective 2, task a at $220,000) at Cle Elum Supplementation and Research Facility (CESRF). In addition the proposal outlines anticipated costs with additional production initiatives in out-years. The proposed budget of $3,736,000 over three years (Fiscal Year 2002, 2003 and 2004) addresses some of the anticipated costs for these proposed production initiatives associated coho (total at $15 million for Fiscal Year 2005 and 2006), fall chinook (total at $5 million for Fiscal Year 2005 and 2006) and steelhead (total at $10 million for Fiscal Year 2006). Costs and out year budgets associated with these initiatives will be dependant on the outcome of the specific step reviews (see Project 199506325)
This project was addressed by the Council in their recommendations to Bonneville for funding the direct program for Fiscal Year 2001. As part of the summary of issues there were a small number of specific projects with issues that required additional Council consideration and consultation with the sponsor and Bonneville (i.e. "parking lot"). Therefore, recommendations were not ready for these specific projects when the full block of ongoing projects was recommended in September 2000.
On January 17, 2001 the Council recommended that the facility at Nelson Springs would be dependant on the outcome of the ongoing provincial review and the review and approval. The budget amount for this effort was recommended to Bonneville for interim planning and permitting processes at $200,000. In addition the Council recommended that Bonneville provide oversight to the project element to ensure budgetary compliance and balance to the provincial review process and the resulting decision.
The construction of an interpretive center at the Cle Elum Supplementation and Research Facility, at $200,000 was determined by the Council staff to be a policy issue. The element was determined to be a discretionary item. After deliberation the Council denied a favorable funding recommendation for construction and signing the interpretive center.
Staff recommendation: As part of the Fiscal Year 2001 funding decision the Council provided funds for planning and permitting so the Yakama Nation could provide a master plan that outlines and justifies the need and cost effectiveness of the proposed facility. In addition, the Council requested Bonneville to provide oversight and guidance to ensure budgetary and review compliance. To date no information has been received and funds for the construction of an office facility should not be reserved (Section 5, objective 1, task a, b and c).
As part of the Fiscal Year 2001 funding decision the Council denied funding for the construction of an interpretive center at the Cle Elum Supplementation and Research Facility, at $200,000. The element was determined to be a discretionary item. Council staff would assume that this decision is still applicable (Section 5, objective b, task a).
Out-year capital costs associated with the artificial production initiatives for coho, fall chinook and steelhead will be deferred and dependent on a favorable step review process, as referenced in Yakima issue 1, and securing funds through budget reallocations.
Budget effect on base program (Project 198811525):
| FY 2002 | FY 2003 | FY 2004 |
|---|---|---|
| Decrease of $1,011,252 | Decrease of $1,045,635 | Decrease of $1,081,186 |
Comment:
Consistent with Council recommendations, BPA does not intend to supply new FY '02 funds to this project.Comment:
Capital project. Part of Capital Plan for FY04. FY05 dollars are primarily for coho elements. Subject to step review. Master Plan to be submitted in September. Try to refine for Capital Plan for FY05. Estimate is for full facility. Could be design and NEPA costs in 04. 04 numbers are for Nelson and Interpretive Center. Replacement facility at Nelson. 1.265M. Have done final design on that facility. Somewhat of a cost reduction. CH2M has final design on interpretive center. Updated cost for center - 352K.Comment:
The FY2001 included an estimated budget for the design & construction of the Office/Research Facility at Nelson Springs. The NPPC approved the design costs ($200,000) for FY 2001, but delayed approval of actual construction. The budget for FY2004 includes the submittal of the Nelson Springs construction budget and the re-submittal of the CESRF Interpretive Center.NW Power and Conservation Council's FY 2006 Project Funding Review
