Draft July 25, 2006 

(P:\amp\Budget\2007\FY07 USBR Narratives.doc) 
PROJECT TITLE AND ID: A.1. Personnel Costs 

General Project Description: This project represents Reclamation staff costs to 

perform the daily work activities required to operate the Adaptive Management Work 

Group. The work includes completing assignments resulting from AMWG meetings, 

consulting with stakeholders on a variety of AMP issues relating to the operation of Glen 

Canyon Dam (GCD), disseminating pertinent information to the AMWG, preparing and 

tracking budget expenses, and updating Reclamation’s web page. 

Project Goals and Objectives: The primary goal is to perform all work associated 

with the AMWG in a timely and efficient manner, while using the funds available as 

prudently as possible. Secondary goals include increasing each stakeholder’s awareness 

of significant budget and legislative issues related to the AMP, improving working 

relationships with the AMWG members/alternates, finding constructive ways to resolve 

differences, and addressing individual concerns in an open and accepting forum of 

discussion. 

Expected Results: Personnel costs will not exceed what has been proposed in the budget 

and Reclamation staff will provide budget information to the AMWG on a regular basis. 

Completed work products will be of high quality and promptly distributed to AMWG 

members/alternates and interested parties. Budget reports will be presented in a format 

conducive to AMWG needs. 

Budget: FY 07 = $164,201

PROJECT TITLE AND ID: A.2. AMWG Member Travel Reimbursement

General Project Description: This project covers the costs to reimburse AMWG 

members or alternates to attend regularly scheduled AMWG meetings. 

Project Goals and Objectives: The primary goal for reimbursing travel expenses to 

AMWG members or alternates is to encourage their attendance at all meetings. Because 

the meetings are often scheduled in Phoenix, Arizona, many members must incur air or 

POV travel, and by having Reclamation reimburse those and other related travel costs, 

e.g., hotel, per diem, rental car, etc., opportunities are increased for more members to 

participate in a variety of AMWG assignments. Also, because Reclamation can purchase 

airline tickets at the Federal Government rate, there are additional cost savings to the 

program. 

Expected Results: The Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program will benefit 

from having all the AMWG members participate in regularly scheduled meetings. As a 

collective body, they address and resolve concerns associated with the operation of Glen 

Canyon Dam and make recommendations to the Secretary of the Interior for continued 

science efforts performed below the GCD. 

Budget: FY 07 = $16,197

PROJECT TITLE AND ID: A.3. Reclamation Travel

General Project Description: This project covers travel expenses Reclamation staff 

incur to attend AMWG and ad hoc group meetings. In order to work on AMWG/ad hoc 

assignments, the meetings are often held in Phoenix, Arizona. As such, Reclamation 

staff must make additional trips throughout the year in completion of those assignments. 

Project Goals and Objectives: The primary goal is for Reclamation staff to be able to 

travel to meetings and participate in completing AMWG/TWG assignments. By doing 

so, the program benefits from greater interaction among its members as well as continued 

improvement and commitment to operating GCD in the best manner possible and 

obtaining the results from science work being done in the canyon. 

 

Expected Results: Reclamation staff will be involved with AMWG/TWG members in 

completing work assignments and resolving issues that affect the AMP. They will 

develop better working relationships with all involved and work toward consensus on a 

variety of sensitive issues.

PROJECT TITLE AND ID: A.5. Other

General Project Description: This project represents some of the other “miscellaneous” 

expenses incurred in operation of the AMWG. For example: 

- overnight mailings of AMWG meeting packets 

- copying of reports 

- purchasing meeting materials (cassette tapes, markers, paper, software upgrades 

for AMP website posting, etc.) 

- equipment (audio recording/transcribing machines) 

In addition to the above, training courses are often required for staff to keep current on 

environmental issues, Federal Advisory Committee Act changes, computer technology 

improvements, etc. 

Also included in this category are monetary awards given to Reclamation staff who have 

contributed significantly to the success of the GCDAMP. 

 

Project Goals and Objectives: The primary goal is to limit spending on “other” items 

as much as possible. By doing so, more money can be applied to science and research.

PROJECT TITLE AND ID: II A.1. TRIBAL CONSULTATION: Sole Source 

Contracts with Tribes

Rationale/Problem Statement: Government-to-government consultation will be 

maintained between the five AMP tribes (Hopi Tribe, Hualapai Tribe, Southern Paiute 

Consortium, Pueblo of Zuni, Navajo Nation) and five Interior agencies (US Geological 

Survey, National Park Service, Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau 

of Indian Affairs). 

Integration: The purpose of the continued funding of tribal contracts is to ensure tribal 

viewpoints are integrated into continuing AMP dialogs, votes, and in the final 

recommendations made to the Secretary of the Interior. 

Expected Products: The most important product is the incorporation of tribal 

perspectives into the recommendations forwarded to the Secretary. In addition, the tribes 

prepare annual reports on activities funded under the contracts. Continued funding of 

government-to-government consultation through the agreements ensures enhanced 

communication and understanding of the AMP issues and concerns. 

Recommended Approach: A tribal consultation plan will be completed that may 

modify the current approach and will be an appendix to the AMP Strategic Plan. 

Status: Ongoing. 

External Project Awards: Tribal contracts are funded through appropriated dollars 

provided by five Department of the Interior agencies (USBR, NPS, FWS, BIA, and 

USGS). DOI is responsible for collecting the funds through five separate RSAs. These 

funds are transferred from DOI to Reclamation via a master RSA. Reclamation, in turn, 

enters into sole source contracts with the five tribes to accomplish the required work. 

Reclamation’s administrative costs are funded with power revenues. 

Project Accomplishments: Communication and government-to-government 

consultation between agencies, tribes, and other AMP stakeholders. 

Schedule: Agreements are renewed annually on the contract anniversary date. Each 

funded tribe must submit a yearly status report to Reclamation at the close of the fiscal 

year. Copies of the reports may be distributed to AMP stakeholders upon request. 

Budget: The FY05 cost was $475,000 to fund the contracts, with each agency 

contributing $95,000. In addition, DOI charges a handling fee of $475 per agency. 

Budget: FY07 = $477,375

PROJECT TITLE AND ID: III.2. PROGRAMMATIC AGREEMENT: Grand 

Canyon and Glen Canyon Treatment Plans: Consultation 

Rationale/Problem Statement: In consultation with Grand Canyon NPS, the Arizona 

SHPO and the remainder of the PA signatories, Reclamation completed a scope-of-work 

for the development of a treatment plan for the cultural resources of Grand Canyon. This 

work will be completed by January 1, 2007 under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit 

agreement with Utah State University. An analogous set of treatment plan 

recommendations was completed in FY06 (based on FY04 and FY05 funding) by the 

Navajo Nation Archaeological Department. Treatment of individual properties may 

include in situ preservation measures, nature and extent testing, full data recovery or 

additional documentation/recordation. The determination of appropriate treatment will 

be based on consultation with NPS, the Arizona SHPO and Southwestern tribal entities 

(tribal consultation will not be restricted to PA signatories). This consultation will take 

place during FY07 with treatment plan implementation scheduled to begin in FY08. 

• Development of a treatment plan MOA through consultation with SHPO, NPS, Tribes 

and other stake holders. 

• Government-to-Government consultation with tribal councils based upon the 

treatment plan recommendations. 

• On site assessment by PA members and tribal elders of a selected sample of historic 

properties. 

• Consequent formulation of an MOA for mitigation with Reclamation, NPS and the 

SHPO as principal signatories. 

Integration: Not applicable. 

Expected Products: Prioritization, based on significance, of all affected Glen and Grand 

Canyon properties and completion of an MOA for treatment of adverse effects. Detailed 

and comprehensive reports on consultant activities, results and recommendations. 

Recommended Approach: Evaluation and implementation of mitigative measures or 

total data recovery, following the Secretary of the Interior Standards and Guidelines for 

Historic Preservation and guidance of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. 

Status: Ongoing. 

External Project Awards: Contract or cooperative agreement to cover logistical support 

and on-site consultation with NPS, SHPO and tribal representatives. 

Project Accomplishments: Successful completion of an MOA for treatment of adverse 

effects. 
Schedule: The schedule is based on the fiscal year. 

Budget: FY07 consultation support funding is $150,000 for Grand and Glen Canyons. 

Estimated cost for FY08 implementation is $480,000. 

Budget: FY07 = $150,000
