What the grant funds

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to provide details of the described work to be performed to support the U.S. Air Force involving the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) Conservation Fisheries Program, for a base year and up to two (2) option years, through a cooperative agreement (CA) between the Cooperator, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and JBER. The goal of this work is to continue monitoring efforts of salmon in various waterways on JBER. Projects for execution under this Cooperative Agreement by USACE do not include any functions to be performed that are inherently governmental. This determination is made with the assessment that places emphasis on the degree to which conditions and facts restrict the discretionary authority, decision-making responsibility, or accountability of Government officials using recipient services or work products. This Cooperative Agreement shall not be used for performance of personal services. These tasks provided by the customer for execution under this Cooperative Agreement by USACE do not include functions to be performed that are personal services. Any modifications to Cooperative Agreement activities as outlined by this SOW must be coordinated through the Grants Officer’s Technical Representative (GOTR) and approved by the Grants Officer (GO) prior to Cooperator implementation. 1.2 Background Critical Habitat (CH) for Cook Inlet beluga whale (CIBW), designated in 2011, does not include waters on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) but does include those waters (Knik Arm) adjacent to 20 miles of JBER shoreline. Included in the CH designation are five elements, called primary constituent elements (PCE) that are deemed essential for the recovery of the CIBW. These PCE’s include four of the five Pacific salmon (Chinook, chum, coho, and sockeye). Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) requires that each federal agency ensure any action authorized, funded, or carried out by such agency is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered or threatened species, or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. In addition to critical habitat designation to CIBW, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-267), is a national program for the conservation and management of the fishery resources of the United States.
