Common use of Hatchery Production Continuity Clause in Contracts

Hatchery Production Continuity. PacifiCorp will fund a study to evaluate hatchery production options that do not rely on the current Iron Gate Hatchery water supply. The study will assess groundwater and surface water supply options and water reuse technologies that could support hatchery production in the absence of Iron Gate Dam. The study may include examination of local well records and increasing production potential at existing or new facilities in the basin as well as development of a test well or groundwater supply well. Based on the study results, PacifiCorp will provide one-time funding to construct and implement the measures identified as necessary to continue to meet current mitigation production objectives for a period of 8 years following the removal of Iron Gate Dam. Production facilities capable of meeting current hatchery mitigation goals must be in place and operational upon removal of Iron Gate Dam.
