Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Through this agreement, the Nebraska Community Foundation will provide financial and administrative support to the Governance Committee of the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (PROGRAM).
The PROGRAM provides Endangered Species Act compliance, which is crucial for the continued operation of reclamations projects on the North Platte and South Platte Rivers.
The continued operation of these projects will allow reclamation to deliver storage water for irrigation and municipal and industrial purposes, and to continue to generate hydropower, for the benefit of the public.
The operation of these projects provides for recreational opportunities for the general public, and the public will also benefit from increased access to PROGRAM lands in Nebraska for certain recreational uses during certain times of the year.
Specific project activities include:
PROGRAM administration
PROGRAM land plan implementation
Land acquisition
PROGRAM water plan implementation (non-acquisition)
PROGRAM water plan implementation (acquisition)
PROGRAM adaptive management plan implementation
This is a mandatory agreement, authorized in Public Law 110-229, the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program Extension Act.
