TRIBAL CONTRACTS 

 Total

Lori Caramanian June 15, 2012 Memo - DOI has carefully considered 

the request to increase tribal participation funding by the Consumer 

Price Index (CPI) every year. GCDAMP DOI agencies have declining 

budgets as a result of the ongoing economic downturn, making do with 

less money even while our fixed costs are increasing. While we greatly 

value the input of the tribes into the GCDAMP... we cannot at this time 

provide an increase in these funds or commit to CPI indexing.

Cultural Program Implementation

1) Implementation of HFE Protocol MOA.

– NHPA Compliance for HFE Protocol MOA. 

– Of the 19 analyzed sites, 4 prehistoric sites within the Area 

of Potential Effect have not been mitigated and could be 

adversely affected by multiple HFEs. 

– Reclamation will consult with all MOA signatories in FY 12 

on mitigation of adverse effects to the four sites and 

implement a treatment plan.

– Proposed budget: FY13 $66,000, FY14 implementation of 

treatment plan for one site in Grand Canyon $50,000.

2) Documentation of Associative Values. 

– Reclamation will consult with the tribes to see if they agree 

that there should be additional documentation. 

– If so, Reclamation will convene a workshop to develop and 

implement a strategy for documenting associative values. 

– If consultation during FY13 results in agreement among 

Reclamation and the tribes, then the contract would be 

awarded by the end of FY13. 

– Proposed budget: FY13 $100,000; FY 14 $30,000.

3) Non-native Fish Control Consultation. 

– Under the non-native fish control MOA, there are 

stipulations for consultation with tribes before and after any 

proposed removal actions and also stipulations for tribes to 

participate in non-native fish control efforts. 

– This funding will facilitate tribal participation. 

– During consultation, Reclamation will discuss any potential 

to include TEK into this project.

– Proposed budget: FY13 $10,000; FY14 $10,000.

4) GCMRC monitoring support. 

– This project would provide support for GCMRC Project J.3. 

Large-scale Geomorphology of the Colorado River Valley in 

Glen, Marble and Grand canyons. 

– This project will provide a better understanding of aeolian

transport and gully incision that will help identify dam 

operation effects on archaeological sites. \

– As this project is developed, tribes will be consulted.

– Proposed budget: FY13 $161,929; FY14 $156,129.

5) Traditional Ecological Knowledge Pilot Project.

– Using information already developed by GCMRC, this 

project would support the development of a pilot TEK 

project with the tribes for monitoring and/or treatment in the 

canyons. 

– This will be a project that is developed with the tribes and 

may involve an existing monitoring or treatment program.

– Proposed budget: FY13 develop this project with the tribes 

$15,000; FY14 implement the pilot project $50,000.

6) Implement LTEMP recommendations. 

– At this time, we can expect some recommendations to come 

out of LTEMP for the cultural resources program. 

– This is a place holder.

– Proposed budget: FY13 $10,000; FY14 implement any 

recommendations $40,000.
