This bill mandates the Secretary of the Interior to convey all right, title, and interest of the United States in the Clear Creek Hatchery infrastructure to the Nisqually Indian Tribe . This transfer must be completed within 90 days of the bill's enactment and will be provided for no consideration , though it remains subject to valid existing rights. The legislation aims to empower the Tribe with direct ownership and management of these vital resources. The "covered infrastructure" includes a comprehensive list of hatchery components such as various asphalt ponds, springs, dams, a fish ladder, raceways, and wells. It also encompasses associated pipes, electrical and communication conduits, security fences, and roads within the hatchery area. The Secretary is required to finalize a map and legal description of the conveyed items, with the map serving as the controlling document in case of any discrepancies, and minor errors can be corrected by mutual agreement between the Secretary and the Tribe.
