What does this do?
This bill would move ownership of the Clear Creek Hatchery — including fish ponds, dams, a fish ladder, springs, wells, water infrastructure, raceways, roads, and fencing — from the federal government to the Nisqually Indian Tribe. The Department of the Interior would have 90 days after the bill becomes law to complete the transfer. An official map and legal description of the property would be made publicly available, and the map would take priority if the two documents disagree.
Who does it affect?
The Nisqually Indian Tribe would become the new owners of the hatchery infrastructure. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which currently manages the property, would no longer hold that role.
Why does it matter?
Ownership of the hatchery would shift from the federal government to the Nisqually Indian Tribe. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would no longer be responsible for managing the site.
