Funding for the Deschutes River Hatchery project was initiated in the 2013-2015 Capital Budget for preliminary site work, well development, pumps and piping. A $10 million investment this biennium will allow us to enter into the second phase of construction on this much needed hatchery in South Puget Sound. Recreational fishing is an important part of our economy. There are over 900,000 anglers in Washington who spend $1.2 billion annually and directly support 16,200 jobs. Recreational anglers are the single largest source of license fee and tax revenue to the Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Increasing recreational fishing opportunity in South Puget Sound supports local business and will generate more tax revenue to the State and to WDFW through increased license sales. Current salmon production on the Deschutes River is outdated and inefficient because of space constraints and limited infrastructure. As a result, fish must be reared outside the watershed at four offsite hatchery locations as far north as Everett. Trucking eggs and fish long distances and exposing them to multiple water sources increases the chance of disease and reduces overall salmon survival. The Hatchery Science Review Group (HSRG) recommends that WDFW construct facilities to rear and release salmon on-site in the Deschutes watershed and to eliminate out-of-basin transfers. This would include the development of incubation facilities, a fry/fingerling rearing program, yearling program and the development of an educational / learning center component. Historically, the Deschutes River lacked wild salmon populations due to the presence of Tumwater Falls, so there are no ESA-listed populations present. CONSERVATION & PROTECTION OF MARINE LIFE 1006 West 11th Street | Vancouver, WA 98660 | p 877.255.8772 | f 877.255.8774 | ccawashington.org Numerous organizations support the construction of a hatchery on the Deschutes River. They include, Puget Sound Anglers, Fish Northwest, Trout Unlimited, City of Tumwater, Squaxin Island Tribe, Tumwater School District, Northwest Sportsfishing Industry Association, Northwest Marine Trade Association as well as many local businesses and fishing guides. Please include $10 million in the 2015-2017 Capital Budget for the Deschutes River Hatchery. Sincerely Yours, Nello Picinich, Executive Director CCA Washington CC: Director Jim Unsworth, WDFW Senator Linda Parlette Senator Kirk Pearson Senator Karen Fraser Senator John Braun Senator Randi Becker Senator Tim Sheldon Representative Sam Hunt Representative Chris Reykdal Representative Dan Griffey Representative Drew MacEwen Representative Ed Orcutt CONSERVATION & PROTECTION OF MARINE LIFE 1006 West 11th Street | Vancouver, WA 98660 | p 877.255.8772 | f 877.255.8774 | ccawashington.org .

  • Washington State 2015 Gas Tax Increase
    Washington Senate Bill (2015) Title of Bill: Senate Bill 5987 Purpose: A $16 billion, 16-year transportation plan, which included an 11.9 cents-per-gallon gas tax increase—gradually implemented beginning Aug. 1, 2015, and fully applied on July 1, 2016—and an increase in transportation-related fees, including those for overweight vehicles. The bill also permits Sound Transit residents to vote on a plan to increase taxes for an additional $15 billion in order to expand the region’s light rail system. Status of Amendment: Passed Washington Senate Bill 5987 (2015) Signed into law: July 15, 2015 Senate House FOR 37 54 AGAINST 7 44 History State Gas Tax Before SB 5987, drivers in Washington state paid a flat excise tax on gasoline of 37.5 cents-per-gallon. That amount was last set in 2005, when the state legislature approved a 9.5 cents-per-gallon state gas tax increase (phased in over four years). The package, including an increase in vehicle weight fees, was estimated to raise $8.5 billion over a 16-year period. Previous gas tax increases were implemented in 2003, 1991, and 1990. Gas Tax Distribution & Transportation Funding Sources Washington state’s highway and ferry system is funded through a combination of motor vehicle fuel taxes (23%); vehicle licenses, permits, and fees (12%); federal funds (26%); bonding (23%), and other sources such as tolling, ferry fares, and local funding (16%).i The transportation budget pays for “maintaining, preserving, and improving the highway system; operating ferries; motor vehicle registration; and enforcing traffic laws on the state highway system.” ii The state’s gas tax of 37.5 cents-per-gallon was constitutionally dedicated for ‘highway purposes’ in the 18th Amendment (November 1944).
