PCSRF Administration XVII

With the PCSRF FY 2016 allocation, CRITFC, on behalf of the four tribes, continued to implement the already established tribal PCSRF infrastructure framework to plan, assess, coordinate, fund, implement, monitor, and publicize the salmon recovery efforts of the tribes and partners. Some of the activities included: project selection and evaluation, ESA compliance, federal cost principles compliance, non-allowance of supplanting, land acquisition requirements, cost-share encouragement, budget modification management, new project implementation, fulfilling progress report metric requirements, project spending plan, maintenance of the PCSRF database, participation in PCSRF regional processes and monitoring and evaluation of individual projects. All of the final progress reports for the FY 2016 PCSRF projects were received from the tribes by July 30, 2022, and the information was entered into the PCSRF database. Data validation reports were completed and uploaded on grants-on-line. All invoices and budget modifications for the FY 2016 projects were processed accordingly. All 2016 projects were completed on time because of the extension.

The target species are Chinook, Coho, Steelhead, and Sockeye. Work conducted under this project will contribute to the protection, recovery, and enhancement of these species in the Columbia Basin. Although not the target of project work, other species may also benefit: Bull Trout, Pacific Lamprey, and White Sturgeon.
