Transfer Clear Creek Hatchery to Tribe

If enacted, the Secretary would transfer to the Nisqually Indian Tribe all U.S. right, title, and interest in the Clear Creek Hatchery "covered infrastructure." The transfer would occur no later than 90 days after enactment and would be at no cost, but it would be subject to valid existing rights. The bill would define covered infrastructure to list 26 specific features (for example: asphalt ponds, Clear Creek Spring, Dam 1 and Dam 2, fish ladder, incubation room, forebays, raceways, multiple springs and wells, water tower, and pollution abatement ponds) and would include associated pipes, electrical and communication conduits, fences, and roads. The Secretary would act through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director, would finalize maps and legal descriptions using two covered maps dated December 3, 2024, would keep those files open for public inspection, and the map would control if it conflicts with a legal description. The Secretary and the Tribe could mutually correct minor mapping or description errors.
