Law

This bill would require the Department of the Interior to give the Nisqually Indian Tribe full ownership of the Clear Creek Hatchery infrastructure. This includes specific facilities like fish ponds, dams, wells, and water towers used to raise fish.
The transfer would happen at no cost to the tribe. Once the bill becomes law, the government would have 90 days to hand over all legal rights and interests in the property to the tribe.
The infrastructure being moved includes 26 specific items, such as fish ladders, incubation rooms, and security fences. It also covers all the underground pipes and electrical lines that make the hatchery work.
By taking ownership, the Nisqually Indian Tribe would have direct control over the facilities used to manage local fish populations. This supports the tribe's ability to protect their natural resources and maintain their traditional fishing practices.
