Purchase equipment to complete stewardship obligation for Deumling/Zena properties. BPA provided funding for the acquisition of two conservation easements over certain real property in Polk County, Oregon owned by Sarah Deumling. BPA provided this funding to partially fulfill its fish and wildlife mitigation responsibilities under the Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. § 839(b)(h)(10), and consistent with its obligations under the agreements among BPA and Sarah Deumling (Sponsor), and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). In exchange, BPA was granted conservation easements on the properties. BPA and the State of Oregon have subsequently entered into a programmatic Memorandum of Agreement, dated October 22, 2010, in which BPA agreed to provide funding for operations and maintenance on properties in the Willamette River Basin acquired prior to 2010 in partnership with ODFW, which includes the Deumling/Zena properties.
