Albeni Falls Wildlife Management Plan

Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to fund the development and implementation of the Albeni Falls Wildlife Management Plan (Plan). The Plan addresses wildlife mitigation projects in the Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho, vicinity that are approved by the Northwest Power Planning Council (Council). The Plan is a cooperative effort led by an Interagency Work Group that includes the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG); United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS); United States Forest Service (USFS); United States Army Corps of Engineers (COE); the Kalispel Tribe; and the Upper Columbia United Tribes (UCUT). When implemented, the proposed action would meet BPA's obligation to protect, mitigate, and enhance wildlife affected by construction of Albeni Falls Dam and is consistent with the Council's F&W Program and amendments. BPA's proposed action would guide the development of wildlife mitigation projects, increase the quantity and quality of wetland and riparian wildlife habitats in the Lake Pend Oreille study area, and demonstrate the compatibility of habitat restoration and wildlife management with the land use goals and objectives of Bonner and Kootenai Counties, Idaho.
