`Reference: MOTION TO INTERVENE for Public Utility District No. 1 of
`Snohomish County application for a preliminary permit for Spieden Channel Tidal
`Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project Number P-12689-000)
`
`Dear Secretary Salas:
`
`The Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe reserved the right to take fish at usual and accustomed
`grounds and stations” in Section 5 of the Treaty of Point Elliott of 1855. That right, so
`crucial to the Tribe’s livelihood, survival, and culture may be affected by the Spieden
`Channel Tidal Hydroelectric Project. The Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe is also by federal
`court order a co-manager of the fish and wildlife resources of the Skagit River Basin
`along with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Swinomish Indian Tribal
`Community and Upper Skagit Indian Tribe.
`
`Spieden Channel is a major migration route for all five species of Pacific salmon that
`return to the Skagit River. The Spieden Channel Tidal Hydroelectric Project may alter
`migration or cause direct mortality on migrating salmon that are vital to the Sauk-Suiattle
`Tribe. Spieden Channel may also be used as a rearing area for salmon, steelhead, forage
`fish and shellfish. The project may reduce the productivity of rearing habitat or cause
`direct mortality of fish and shellfish rearing within the project area.
`
`The Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe respectfully request that its motion to intervene in project
`P-12689 be granted.
`
`Contacts for this project should be listed as:
