Hells Canyon Hydroelectric Project Settlement Process – Interim Agreement

Dear Secretary:

In accordance with my letter to J. Mark Robinson of December 30, 2004, I have enclosed
for filing an original and eight copies of the Hells Canyon Hydroelectric Project Settlement
Process – Interim Agreement (“Interim Agreement”). The Interim Agreement has been agreed to,
by the execution of separate signature pages, by the following parties to the Hells Canyon
Complex (HCC) settlement process:

The HCC settlement process has been established consistent with the discussions
between the parties and Commission Staff on September 9, 2004. As indicated in the
correspondence between the Commission Staff and NOAA Fisheries dated October 28 and
November 12, 2004, the initial objective of the HCC settlement process was to address interim
operations at the HCC project in an effort to provide agreed upon measures to the Commission
by April 2005. Under this approach formal consultation under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) would be initiated after the comprehensive settlement agreement is completed and the
draft EIS is issued.

The Interim Agreement is therefore intended to address issues relating to operations of
the HCC and ESA-listed species in advance of the issuance of a new license while the parties
develop a comprehensive settlement agreement. In accordance with the provisions of the Interim
Agreement, IPC has agreed to implement certain measures until a new license is issued for the
HCC. IPC has also agreed to implement certain additional measures on an annual basis,
provided that the parties remain engaged in settlement discussions intended to resolve long-term
relicensing issues. The signatories agree that the measures in the Interim Agreement are intended
to provide reasonable protection for ESA-listed species during the term of the Interim Agreement
and also establish a basis for comprehensive settlement discussions to continue.1

Some parties involved in the HCC settlement process chose not to sign the Interim
Agreement. Their reasons for doing so are their own. In this regard, enclosed is a copy of a letter
received (electronically) from Ms. Harriet Hensley, Deputy Attorney General for the State of
Idaho, indicating the basis for the State of Idaho’s decision to not sign the Interim Agreement. As
Ms. Hensley’s letter indicates, Idaho’s decision is based on the relationship between some of the
flow related measures contained in the Interim Agreement and other pending settlement
processes that resulted from the Snake River Basin Adjudication (SRBA) mediation, a multi-year
settlement process involving the State of Idaho, the United States, including the U.S. Department
of Interior and NOAA Fisheries, the Nez Perce Tribe, and various private water user interests in
Idaho. Through personal communications, I understand that some of the Idaho water user
interests did not sign the Interim Agreement for similar reasons. Nonetheless, as Ms. Hensley’s
letter indicates, the State of Idaho supports the settlement process and intends to be a full
participant in the settlement discussions. I have been advised as well that the water user interests
intend to continue to participate in the settlement discussions relating to a comprehensive
settlement agreement.

Finally, consistent with ¶ 5 (pg. 10) of the Interim Agreement, IPC is filing the Interim
Agreement with the Commission for informational purposes only. IPC is authorized to proceed
with implementation of the measures set forth in the Interim Agreement under the existing
license for the HCC.

1 Contrary to Mr. Campbell’s letter of January 5, 2005, we did not intend to imply that all of the parties to the
settlement process agreed to the Interim Agreement, only that a proposed interim agreement was taken from the
settlement working group to the respective parties for review and consideration.

The next meetings for the HCC settlement process are scheduled for January 11 & 12, 2005.
Consistent with my December 30th letter, we will report to Mr. Robinson on the progress of the
settlement process by the end of January 2005.

Very truly yours,

James C. Tucker

RE;Hells Canyon Complex Relicensing
Dear Jim:
As you are aware,the State of Idaho has been involved In the Hells Canyon Complex
relicensing process since its inception and has been an active participant in the settlement process
on interim operations.Settlement of the controversial issues that pertain to the project's
relicensing continues to be in the public interest and Idaho intends to be a full participant in the
negotiations commencing in January 2005 on the components of a new license for the projects.
Although the settlement process has been productive in many important ways,Idaho will
not be a signatory to the settlement agreement on interim operations.IPC's role in passing and
shaping water from the Bureau of Reclamation's projects in the Upper Snake River basin for the
benefit of species listed under the Endangered Species Act is a fundamental component of the
interim operations agreement.Likewise,the operation of the Bureau of Reclamation's projects
in the Upper Snake River basin for that same purpose is a fundamental component of the
proposed settlement of the Nez Perce tribal water right claims in the Snake River Basin
Adjudication (SRBA).
The proposed SRBA settlement of the Nez Perce tribal water right claims is the result of
many years of difficult negotiations and provides for protection of fish habitat,including both
flow and non-flow related issues,while preserving existing water uses.Accordingly,we asked
that members of the Settlement Working Group (SWG)refrain from initiating new litigation
related to the flow augmentation component of the proposed SRBA settlement while engaged in
negotiations on IPC's future role in that same program.American Rivers and Idaho Rivers
United advised that they would not agree to this term,and,consequently,Idaho will not be a
signatory to the interim operations agreement.

Nonetheless,Idaho fully supports the settlement process and intends to move forward
collectively with the SWG in exploring the possibility for settlement.State of Idaho resource
agcncies wili continue;lo play a critical role in technical discussions and in the development of
any negotiated agreement and will,of course,work with IPC in carrying out the agencies'
statutory responsibilities where those authorities intersect with implementation of the interim
agreement.
t look forward to working with you and the SWG in the next stage of negotiations.

limited lo proceedings under tlie Federal Power Act,the Clean Water Act or other federal
or state laws;at tlie same time,the signatory parties will not take actions that undermine
this agreement.
The signatory parties have determined that several issues relating to operations
and ESA-listed species related to the project must be addressed in the near-term.The
measures in this Interim Agreement are intended to provide reasonable protection for
ESA-listed species during this Interim Agreement and to establish the basis for
comprehensive settlement discussions to continue.To this end,the undersigned parties
agree to address several key issues associated with the operation or relicensing of the
HCC in advance of the settlement agreement and/or issuance of a new license,as follows:
I .Until a new license is issued for the HCC,IPC will:
a.Monitor water flows in the Snake River above the HCC and take such
action,as may be necessary,to protect and maintain the state water rights
held by IPC,
b.Provided that the federal flow augmentation program implemented by the
BoR is consistent with state law,the SRBA Mediator's Term Sheet and
the BoR's 2004 biological assessment,IPC will cooperate with the BoR in
leasing water rights under l.C.§42-I08A for flow augmentation purposes
and will pass all BoR flow augmentation water through its projects.
(Parlies to this settlement who are not parties to the SRBA Mediator's
Term Sheet are not,by the language above,endorsing the Term Sheet.)
c.Continue lo implement the Fall Chinook Interim Recovery Plan and Study
(IPC 1991 )to protect spawning,incubating,and emerging fall chinook
salmon below the I ICC.
d.From March I through May 3IsLof each year,monitor and identify

potential stranding sites in tlie Snake River below the HCX to the
confluence with tlie Salmon River and operate the HCC and/or take such
other measures as may be necessary,to minimize the potential for
stranding of juvenile fall chmook.In conjunction with these efforts,IPC
will provide reports and updates regarding the status and progress of the
monitoring to the SWG {or subcommittee thereof)and will seek the
concurrence of NOAA and USKWS,and update the SWG as soon as
possible,of any operations qr measures necessary to minimize stranding,
e.Continue to fund the IPC hatchery program consistent with the terms of
the 1980 Settlement Agreement,and continue to coordinate with state,
federal,and tribal fish managers with regard to the implementation of the
hatchery management measures contemplated by that Agreement and
IPC's Final License Application (FLA),which shall include:
i.Evaluating the need for screening the water intakes to
provide safe passage at the Rapid River and Pahsimeroi
hatcheries;
ii.Providing an alternate water source at the Pahsimeroi
Hatchery in an effort to manage whirling disease;
hi.Moving forward with refinement of existing hatchery plans
to facilitate:1)ESA permitting procedures lor hatchcry

2.IPC will implement tlie following measures in 2005,and will continue such
measures in 2006 provided that the SWG remains engaged tlirough November of
2005 in settlement discussions intended to resolve issues associated with the long-
term licensing of the HOC,or as provided in Section 3.a.Should settlement
discussions continue beyond 2005-2006,IPC will contimie such measures in each
calendar year thereafter provided the SWG remains engaged in settlement
discussions through November of the preceding year (e.g.-IPC will continue
such measures in 2007 provided the SWG is engaged in settlement discussions
through November 2006.)
a.2005 -Consistent with this agreement,IPC will use best efforts to hold
Brownlce Reservoir at or near full elevation {approximately 2077 msl)
through June 20tl1;and thereafter,subject to the conditions below,will
draft Brownlec Reservoir to elevation 2059 (releasing up to 237 kaf)by
August 7l11 (hereinafter referred to as the F/A (flow augmentation)draft).
IPC will provide up to 237 kaf F/A draft in 2005.The date upon which
the F/A draft begins,and the extent and volume of the releases,up to 237
kaf,may be modified after consideration of the variables listed below
(items i.and ii.)-As the 2005 water year progresses or upon becoming
aware of any variables that may impact either the fiUing of Brownlee
Reservoir or the ability to provide the F/A draft.IPC will,to the extent
feasible,seek a mutually acceptablc solution with NOAA Fisheries and
USFWS,regarding its response to those variables and will advise the
SWG.The variables are:

i.Any potential impact to anadroinous and resident fish and wildlife
species,water quality,navigation,and recreation,including
recreational issues associated with access to,and the use of.
Brown lee Reservoir over the three-day July 41h holiday period,I
The parlies recognize that consideration of these issues may result
in the F/A draft from Brownlee stopping over the 4111 of July
holiday or beginning after the July 4ti1 holiday,
li.The availability of water to fulfill the F/A draft and IPC's
commitment to the Fall Chinook Plan and customer energy
requirements.The volume of water available for release under the
F/A draft is dependent upon the elevation of Brownlee Reservoir
on the date that the F/A draft begins and the projected availability
of inflows to refill Brownlee Reservoir for (.he purposes of the Fall
Chinook Plan and system energy needs the following winter.The:
parties to this Interim Agreement acknowledge that the reservoir
elevation on any given day and the availability of water to refill
Brownlee Reservoir in preparation for the Fall Chinook Plan and
winter operations arc dependent upon variables that may be
beyond IPC's control.These variables include,but are not limited
to:
1.Climatic conditions.Snake River inflows to the reservoir,
emergency situations,and flood control and navigation
requirements;

2.The necessity to utilize Brovvnlee Reservoir and the HCC
to protect the jDerfbrniance,integrity,reliability,and
stability of IPC's electrical system or the electrical systems
with which it is connected,including compensating for an
unscheduled loss of generation,providing generation
during severe weather,energy shortages or periods of
market instability,and providing Western Electric
Coordinating Council and North American Electric
Reliability Council reserves;
b.2006 (and subsequent years provided the SWG remains engaged in
settlement discussions or as provided in Section 3.a.)-The parties intend
that the F7A draft of Brownlec Reservoir in 2006 will proceed as in 2005
and will result in the release of approximately 237 kaf of storage water at
a financial impact no greater than approximately $2 Million to IPC and the
ratepayers (S2 Million is also considered an approximate value in 2005,
which is the basis upon which IPC provides 237 kaf in 2005)and that it
will be subject to the same conditions and variables as the 2005 F/A draft
(See:Section 2.a.)-IPC will seek the concurrence of NOAA and (JSFWS,
and update the SWG in the fall and winter of 2005 in preparation for the
F/A draft in 2006.The parties will review the 2005 F/A draft program,
exchange information relative to the projected energy market and water
year inflnences on the 2006 F/A draft program,and work together to
ensure that the 2006 F/A program meets the expectations of the parties,
the conditions and variables outlined in Section l.a.above,and the
resource needs of listed species.

c.Provided that tlie federal flow augmentation program implemented by the
BoR Is consistent with state law,the SRBA Mediator's Term Sheet and
the BoR's 2004 biological assessment,and provided further that the
annual financial hnpact to IPC and the ratepayers from cooperating with
the How augmentation program,in conjunction with any impact from the
F/A draft under Sections 2.a.&b.,is not greater than approximately $2
Million.IPC will cooperate with the BoR in shaping BoR storage water
releases from above Milncr Dam that cannot be delivered to Brownlee
Reservoir by August 31st by releasing up to 100 kaf of storage water from
Brovvnlcc Reservoir from June 2 1st to August 7th and refilling Brownlee
with an equivalent amount of BoR water released for flow augmentation
when that water readies Brownlee Reservoir.IPC will ensure that any
BoR releases for flow augmentation used to refill spacc at Brownlee
Reservoir will be limited to the amount shaped and will be last of the BoR
water released from above Milncr Dam delivered to Brownlee Reservoir,
d.IPC will work with the SWG early in the long-term negotiation to set data
collection priorities and ensure that adequate information is available to
develop a comprehensive agreement.
e.For the purpose of supporting settlement discussions and reaching a
comprehensive settlement agreement,IPC will work with the SWG to
identify,develop and review information relative to potential structural
modifications (including preliminary designs and feasibility studies)
and/or operations intended to address aquatic resources and water quality
related issues associated with the comprehensive settlement regarding
