k. On behalf of itself, the Skokomish 

Indian Tribe, and six state and federal 

agencies, Tacoma filed a comprehensive 

settlement agreement (Agreement), 

along with a Joint Explanatory 

Statement (JES) for the Cushman 

Project. The purpose of the Agreement 

is to resolve, among the signatories, 

outstanding issues associated with the 

project, including, but not limited to, 

those associated with the DC Circuit 

Court of Appeals’ remand of the 

Commission’s July 30, 1998 Order 

Issuing Subsequent Major License. As 

detailed in the JES, the Agreement and 

proposed license articles provide 

specific measures for each of the license 

obligations set forth in the 1998 Order. 

The major issues addressed in the 

Agreement relate to: (1) Project 

operations (e.g., flows in the North Fork, 

channel maintenance flows, lake levels, 

ramping rates, etc.); (2) salmon and 

steelhead restoration activities (e.g, fish 

passage, hatchery and stocking program, 

habitat enhancements, etc.); (3) 

estuarine habitat enhancement; (4) 

wildlife habitat enhancement (e.g., land 

acquisition); (5) flooding on the North 

Fork and mainstem Skokomish River; 

(6) shoreline management and 

recreation access; and (7) adaptive 

management. 

The filing includes a draft of 

Tacoma’s license amendment to 

construct a new powerhouse at the base 

of Dam No. 2. Tacoma states that the full 

amendment will be filed separately, and 

requests that the Commission process 

the amendment contemporaneously 

with the Agreement. Tacoma also 

requests that the Commission schedule 

a technical conference to discuss any 

questions concerning the Agreement. 

The Commission will address the 

request for a technical conference after 

reviewing the comments received on the 

Agreement, and will institute a 

proceeding on the amendment 

application after it is filed. 

Tacoma requests that the 

Commission: (1) Act expeditiously to 

approve the Agreement without 

modification; (2) extend the license term 

to June 30, 2048 (or 50 years from 

license issuance); and (3) approve the 

license amendment for the new North 

Fork powerhouse.
