This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, to transfer all right, title, and interest in specified Clear Creek Hatchery infrastructure to the Nisqually Indian Tribe. The transfer must occur no later than 90 days after the bill becomes law. The conveyance is subject to valid existing rights and is to be made for no consideration. The Secretary must finalize a map and legal description of each item to be conveyed as soon as practicable. If a map and legal description conflict, the map controls. The Secretary and the Tribe may jointly correct minor errors. The finalized maps and legal descriptions must be kept on file and available for public inspection at appropriate U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offices. The bill lists the specific items included as "covered infrastructure," such as multiple asphalt ponds, springs, dams, a fish ladder, incubation room, raceways, wells, water tower, forebays, pollution abatement ponds, site discharge points, pipes, conduits, fences, and roads, and identifies two covered maps dated December 3, 2024.
If enacted, the Nisqually Indian Tribe would become the owner of the listed Clear Creek Hatchery infrastructure and associated on-site items. Maps and legal descriptions of the conveyed items will be finalized and available for public inspection at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service offices.
The bill states the conveyance is to be made "for no consideration," meaning no payment is required for the transfer. No publicly available information on other costs, expenses, or budget effects is included in the bill text or provided metadata.
