BPA proposes to fund several water rights acquisition projects proposed by the Deschutes Resources Conservancy (DRC). The funding will be administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the entity administering the Columbia Basin Water Transactions Program, initiated under RPA 151 of the National Marine Fisheries Service’s 2000 Biological Opinion on the Operation of the Federal Columbia River Power System. The water rights acquired by the DRC will be left instream to increase flow and improve water quality. The three projects proposed by the DRC include: leasing 2.37 cubic feet per second (cfs) of water from the Ochoco Irrigation District by reverse auction, for the Crooked River for the 2003 irrigation season; renewing a lease of 0.88 cfs of water for Little Bear Creek for a period of 5 years; and leasing 1.22 cfs for Ochoco Creek and the Crooked River from the Ochoco Irrigation District for a period of 2 years.
