BPA Fish and Wildlife April 2018

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N Financial components of BPA’s F&W program • Integrated program –The Fish and Wildlife program funds several hundred mitigation projects annually to meet both BPA’s Northwest Power Act and Endangered Species Act obligations. • Debt service – The amortization, depreciation and interest payments for investments directly funded through BPA borrowing, as well as capital investments by the Corps and Reclamation funded by the U.S. Treasury and reimbursed by BPA. • Fish-related O&M (“reimbursable expenses”) – The hydroelectric share of O&M and other non-capital expenditures for fish and wildlife activities by the Corps and Reclamation (i.e., O&M of fish facilities at the federal mainstem dams and Corps/Reclamation mitigation hatcheries), and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (for hatcheries under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan – 11 hatcheries and 18 satellite facilities). • River operations – The power production effects of river operations required by NOAA Fisheries and USFWS biological opinions.

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N Moody’s credit rating • August 2017: Significant fish and wildlife environmental costs is a credit challenge • “BPA faces conflicting uses of the Columbia River and environmental regulations, such as the Endangered Species Act (ESA), that contributes significantly to BPA’s costs and weighs heavily on BPA’s cash flows. Biological opinions prepared by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service and the US Fish and Wildlife Service mandate actions to protect fish species resulting in direct costs such as hatcheries and indirect loss of revenue from hydro dam operational changes.”

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N LSRCP Funding Agreement • Current interagency agreement expires in September 2018 – 3 year extension – Clearly define roles and responsibilities across programs – Benchmark and measure program performance – Increase transparency and accountability – Identify opportunities for efficiency • Potential long-term (10 year) extension in 2021 – Greater certainty of funding for O&M • Asset management – Non-recurring maintenance

B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N Benchmarking • Identify efficiencies from LSRCP Hatchery Programs that can be exported to BPA’s Direct Funded Hatchery Programs. • Identify efficiencies from BPA’s Direct Funded Hatchery programs that can be imported to LSRCP Hatchery Programs. • Identify opportunities to apply existing LSRCP funding to reduce long term O&M costs. – Fish Food – Electricity – Asset Management
