PCSRF Administration XVIII

With the PCSRF FY 2017 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 2017 PCSRF projects were received from the tribes by July 2023, 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 2017 projects were processed accordingly. All 2017 projects were completed on time because of the extension.we had to extend the end date to June 30, 2023 due to the impacts from COVI 19. There was $21,175.45 remaining in the overall award of $1.7 million which will go back to NOAA ($0.59 remaining for the 17-Warm-03 GSG Conservation Easement project, $12.00 for the 17-Yaka-02 project, $19,338.74 for the 17-Yaka-03 project and $1,836.12 for the 17-CRIT-01 Administration project).

This will benefit all Salmonid species in the Columbia Basin as a result of all the Tribal projects implemented.
