  • Conflict and Context
    Conflict and Context: An analysis of water conflict and collaboration in Idaho between 1950 and 2019 By J. Colt Dickman Presented December 2nd, 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I must thank my beautiful and amazing wife for unconditionally supporting this venture. She kept her business, our family, and household expertly running while I worked long hours at work and stayed up late most nights working through this degree. This would not have been possible without your love and support Chelsi; I am forever in your loving debt for allowing me this opportunity. Thank you so much to my patient academic advisor, Dr. Todd Jarvis. For over four long years he patiently entertained my progress that was at times, slowed by professional or personal hurdles. He always gave me just enough guidance to keep me on track but largely left the guardrails off so I could learn from my circuitous academic journey. The professional mentorship was critical to completing this work and I will always strive to maintain the professional standard you helped me establish, as I venture into Idaho’s water arena. Todd, thank you again. Thank you to my capstone committee members, for their time and consideration throughout the process. Multiple critiques, suggestions, and revisions made this work more meaningful and I am grateful for the professional courtesy shown to me by the members. Without financial support I would not have been able to complete this degree. The Oregon State University’s Ecampus Military Grant provided the support which allowed me to focus my efforts on this goal and finish the program.

In the most recent millennium, over a dozen Tribes have considered this region a part of their traditional (ancestral) homelands. This includes, but is not limited to, several Tribes and bands of Shoshone, Apsáalooke/Crow, Arapaho, Cheyenne and Ute Nations, as well as the Bannock, Gros Ventre, Kootenai, Lakota, Lemhi, Little Shell, Nakoda, Nez Perce, Niitsitapi/Blackfeet, Pend d’Oreille, and Salish. We pay respect to them and to other Indigenous peoples with strong cultural, spiritual, and contemporary ties to this land.

Recent mandates in the United States require federal agencies to incorporate climate change science into land management planning efforts. These mandates target possible adaptation and mitigation strategies. However, the degree to which climate change is actively being considered in agency planning and management decisions is largely unknown.

  • Climate Change and Impacts to Idaho January 24, 2020 Jeffrey A. Hicke
    Climate Change and Impacts to Idaho January 24, 2020 Jeffrey A. Hicke, University of Idaho Michael Jennings, retired The topic of climate change and its impacts is critically important to the people and economy of Idaho, and it is now being discussed by the public and state legislature. Decisions about policy should be supported by the best available information, but the science about this topic was not represented by a policy brief recently released by the Heartland Institute. Here we summarize the scientific understanding of climate change and its impacts in Idaho, the Northwest, and globally. Our credentials include teaching and doing research on climate change and impacts, and we have been contributing authors to multiple climate change assessments. We are representing ourselves as individuals with expertise in the topic of climate change; our views are our own and do not represent those of our current or former employers. The sources used here are studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and summarized by local, national, and international scientific syntheses and reviews, in contrast to blogs, web sites, newspapers, or similar types of publications that are not independently reviewed by experts. (Appendix A clarifies or corrects statements made in the Heartland Institute policy brief.) It is well established that the climate has changed in the last 150 years. Temperatures have increased during this period, both globally and in Idaho, with the warmest years occurring in the last two decades. Other components of the climate system, including those in Idaho and the Northwest, have provided additional evidence consistent with this warming, including glaciers and sea ice melt, reduced snowpack and earlier snow melt, increases in atmospheric water vapor, and rising sea level.

MEMBERS ABSENT/ EXCUSED: GUESTS: The sign-in sheet, testimonies, and other related materials will be retained with the minutes in the committee’s office until the end of the session and will then be located on file with the minutes in the Legislative Services Library. CONVENED: Chairman Corder called the meeting to order at 8:04 a.m. and turned the meeting over to Vice Chairman Winder. DOCKET NO. Rules Governing the Idaho Preferred Promotion Program. Leah 02.0104.0801 Clark, Marketing Trade Specialist, Department of Agriculture, explained that basically there are two parts to this pending rule. The first defines qualifications for lamb, pork, poultry and other meats that were not already defined. You will find that each is slightly different to take in to account the unique production systems and industry structure in Idaho. The second change involves their logo. Primarily they are removing reference to filing for registration of the logo as it has already been filed and registered. Also, they are removing the requirement to provide a sample of finished packaging, as permission to request finished packaging has already been granted the director in a subsequent section. DOCKET No. Rules Governing Pesticide and Chemigation Use and Application. 02.0303.0801 George Robinson, Bureau Chief, Crop Residue Disposal Program, explained the amendments to the rules governing pesticide and chemigation use and application to add a reference to the Code of Federal Regulations regarding pesticide containment requirements.
