Acknowledgments

This handbook was funded by Assistance Agreements CP-990730-01-0, CX824697-01-0, and GA990966-01-0, grants from the US Environmental Protection Agency, and Bonneville Power Administration contract 98-B1-7030. We wish to thank the USEPA and Bonneville for their generous support, without which this project would not have been possible.

 

Thanks also to the following organizations, which gave us permission to reprint or draw heavily from their work:

 

A steering committee of tribal staff and an advisory committee of other natural resource professionals from a wide range of organizations met with us and reviewed the manuscript at various stages. We benefited enormously from their guidance and are grateful for their generous contributions of time, energy, and expertise. Any remaining errors or omissions are, of course, strictly ours.
