Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Memorandum of Agreement

BPA, along with the other action agencies (the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation), is proposing to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes (Tribes) of Fort Hall, Idaho. The proposed MOA would provide 10-year commitments for fish and wildlife mitigation and recovery, with an emphasis on actions for strengthening Snake River populations of steelhead and salmon, including sockeye.

BPA issued a letter seeking public comment on the proposal to enter into the agreements as negotiated, as well as on associated environmental effects.

The action agencies believe the proposed agreements will enhance overall fish restoration efforts in the region, making mitigation for the hydro system significantly more effective through a common approach.

BPA seeks public comment on proposed agreement with Alcoa

The Bonneville Power Administration is seeking comment on a proposed set of principles that, if adopted, would lead to a power sale contract for a regional aluminum smelter owned by Alcoa, Inc.  The outline for power service is intended to provide Alcoa's Intalco plant, located in Ferndale, Wash., a reasonable chance of survival without causing significant impacts on other power customers.

Under the proposed set of principles, BPA would provide 240 average megawatts of power for 10 years, starting in 2012 and 160 aMW for an additional seven years.  This compares to Alcoa's current financial benefits from BPA that are equivalent to 390 aMW.  Such service is expcected to cost an average of $65 million a year, compared to about $39 million a year in current benefits.  The cost increase reflects expected higher power prices in the future.

BPA has posted for public review and comment a memorandum of understanding signed by BPA and Alcoa, as well as a framework for negotiating a subsequent contract, on BPA's Web site at http://www.bpa.gov/power/pl/regionaldialogue/implementation/documents/.
