This contract proposal is in response to the Federal Columbia River Power System Biological Opinion Implementation Plan/Updated Proposed Action (UPA) associated with increasing the number of Snake River sockeye smolts by 150,000.  To accomplish this proposal the cooperation and efforts of three government entities has been planned (e.g., Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and the National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS)).  Improvements at the IDFG Eagle Fish Hatchery and NMFS Burley Creek Hatchery will focus on increasing sockeye salmon captive broodstock and egg production. Improvements at the ODFW Oxbow Fish Hatchery will be made to accommodate the incubation, hatching and rearing of 150,000 sockeye salmon smolts for release into Idaho's Sawtooth Valley, Upper Salmon River near IDFG's Sawtooth Fish Hatchery and/or Redfish Lake Creek 1.4 km downstream of Redfish Lake.  Modifications to the ODFW: Oxbow FH will include modifying the water supply and piping to the early rearing building, modifying the outside rearing pond water deliver system, and modifications to the abatement pond.  Additional funding for the described Oxbow Hatchery modifications will come from Mitchell Act Funding.  All personnel costs associated with this project will come from Mitchell Act funding.
