SENATE AGAIN APPROVES OWYHEE, IDAHO PROJECTS

Crapo says public lands bill has many Idaho projects



Washington, DC - The U.S. Senate today again approved a public lands packag=
e, H.R. 146, containing Idaho Senator Mike Crapo's Owyhee Initiative Legisl=
ation and several other projects to benefit Idahoans.  With Crapo on the Se=
nate floor to manage the vote, the measure passed 77 to 20. Now that it has=
 been approved by the Senate, the bill goes to the House for a simple major=
ity vote next week.



"Many of the provisions in this legislation, such as the Owyhee Initiative,=
 are the product of years of extensive collaboration at the federal, state =
and local levels," Crapo said during a speech on the Senate floor.  He note=
d the public lands bill was put together in a spirit of compromise and with=
 the backing of appropriate committee chairmen and Senate leadership.



The public lands bill also contains provisions for a land exchange in Twin =
Falls to benefit the city's Auger Falls park project and provisions to rena=
me the Snake River Birds of Prey area in memory of raptor enthusiast Morley=
 Nelson.  It contains funding to compensate ranchers who lose stock to wolv=
es, and prioritizes efforts to restore forest landscapes and funding to stu=
dy water storage projects in Idaho.



"The people who collaborated on the Owyhee Initiative came from many groups=
 and institutions, interests that historically were battling head-to-head, =
and instead were willing to work through things in a way that sets a tremen=
dous example for how we should approach land management decisions and confl=
icts in this nation," Crapo added.  "That example is a reason why this impo=
rtant legislation should see final passage and be signed by the President."



"I am pleased to once again support legislation that includes the Owyhee In=
itiative," said Idaho Senator Jim Risch.  "The collaborative process is ver=
y important in establishing workable lands solutions.  I greatly appreciate=
 the leadership of Senator Crapo and the involvement of so many groups and =
individuals on this important public lands issue."



Crapo helped organize the Idaho work group that wrote the Owyhee Initiative=
 at the request of Owyhee County Commissioners seeking to end decades of la=
nd use conflict in Southwest Idaho.  The collaborative effort provides cert=
ainty for agricultural operations, releases 199,000 acres of wilderness stu=
dy areas to multiple uses, creates 517,000 acres of new wilderness and offe=
rs wild and scenic protection to 316 miles of Idaho rivers and streams in t=
he Owyhees.  The bill first passed the Senate January 15th as part of the P=
ublic Lands Management Act by a vote of 73 to 21.
