Bureau of Reclamation

Description

The recipient shall provide all personnel necessary to operate and maintain the properties for replacement fish and wildlife habitat. HCSWA shall be staffed with at least one (1full-time property manager and one (1) additional temporary employee. Additional temporary staff may be hired as needed to accomplish specific activities and provide adequate property oversight. The property manager or other CPW employee will be required to maintain residence at HCSWA (housing provided by Reclamation) and be available “on-call” as needed after normal business hours for emergencies. The operational objective is to protect and manage HCSWA to maintain the replacement habitat required under Public Law 93-336. The CPW may seek additional funding and/or resources, as practicable, to further enhance HCSWA (recreation, environmental education, additional wildlife habitat, etc.) for the public benefit, as long as these enhancements are determined by Government to be compatible with managing the properties for the wildlife habitat replacement and do not increase the financial obligations of the United States beyond whatever funds have already been obligated to this cooperative agreement. Any such planned enhancements must receive prior approval from Government. General and property specific task requirements are described the 2013 Annual Work Plan.
