Charter July 1, 2008

(as amended August 14, 2014, and January 31, 2023)

Preamble

The Secretary of the Army (Secretary) hereby establishes the Missouri River Recovery

Implementation Committee (Committee) as authorized by Section 5018 of the 2007 Water

Resources Development Act (WRDA) to make recommendations and provide guidance on a study of the Missouri River and its tributaries and on the existing Missouri River recovery and mitigation plan. The Committee will provide a collaborative forum for the basin to come together and develop a shared vision and comprehensive plan for Missouri River recovery. The

Committee will help guide the prioritization, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation of recovery actions. The Committee will include broad stakeholder representation to ensure a comprehensive approach to Missouri River recovery implementation while providing for congressionally authorized Missouri River project purposes and to ensure that public values are incorporated into the study and the recovery and mitigation plans.

I. Purpose and Scope

a) The Purpose and Scope of the Committee are to:

i. Provide recommendations and guidance on a study of the Missouri River and its tributaries to determine actions required to:

1) Mitigate losses of aquatic and terrestrial habitat

2) Recover federally listed species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973

3) Restore the ecosystem to prevent further declines among other native species

ii. Provide guidance with respect to the existing Missouri River mitigation and recovery plan, including recommendations on:

1) Changes to the implementation strategy as a result of adaptive management

2) Coordination of the development of consistent policies, strategies, plans, programs, projects, activities, and priorities for the Missouri River recovery and mitigation plan

3) Exchange of information regarding programs, projects, and activities of the agencies and entities represented on the Committee to promote the goals of the

Missouri River recovery and mitigation plan

4) Establishment of such working groups as the Committee determines to be necessary to assist in carrying out the duties of the Committee, including duties relating to public policy and scientific issues

5) Facilitation of the resolution of interagency and intergovernmental conflicts between entities represented on the Committee associated with the Missouri River recovery and mitigation plan

MRRIC Charter FINAL07012008Rev05022012Rev081414 Page 2

6) Coordination of scientific and other research associated with the Missouri River recovery and mitigation plan

7) Preparation of an annual work plan and associated budget requests

iii. Provide recommendations and guidance that will include:

1) Recognition of local stakeholders' social and economic, historical and cultural, flood control, irrigation, agriculture, internal drainage, water supply, water quality, navigation, hydropower, thermal power, science, natural resources, conservation, and recreation issues, and any other issues identified by the

Committee

2) Identification of impacts to stakeholders

3) Identification of actions that will benefit multiple uses of the river

4) Avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation of adverse impacts

b) Participation in the Committee by Tribal entities does not substitute for nor replace federal requirements to consult with Tribal entities pursuant to federal laws and regulations, such as: Executive Order 13175, Tribal Consultation; any federal agency's trust responsibilities to a federally recognized tribe in the Missouri River Basin or a tribe that has historically been on the Missouri River; and/or replace any treaty or right thereof such as: the Portage des Sioux Treaty (July 1815); the Treaty of Ft. Laramie, 11 Stat. 749

(Sept 17, 1851); the Treaty with the Omaha, 10 Stat. 1043 (March 16, 1854); the Treaty of Ft. Laramie, 15 Stat. 635 (April 29, 1868); Title VI-Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, and State of South Dakota Terrestrial Wildlife Habitat

Restoration Act of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Appropriations Act of

1999, PL 105-277, 112 Stat. 2681, 2861-660-670 (October 21, 1988), as amended by

Title IV of the Water Resources Development Act of 1999, PL 106-53, 113 Stat 269, 385-397 (August 17, 1999), and as otherwise amended; and any other treaty or right.

Cooperation with the federally recognized tribes engaged in this process should be interpreted as "in good faith."

c) Participation in the Committee by State, Tribal, or Federal entities does not limit their discretion; alter, affect, impair, delegate, or relinquish their statutory or other legal rights and responsibilities, including any right to legal remedies; or otherwise waive their sovereign immunity under applicable law; create any new right to any type of administrative review or create any new right to judicial review or any other right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by or against these entities or any other stakeholder participating in the Committee; and affect Tribal reserved water rights, treaty rights, or water rights administered by the Tribes and/or States, including the "Winters'

Doctrine", Winters v United States, 207 U.S. 564 (1908). If the processes and procedures of the Committee would impede the implementation of any action for which agencies of the States, Tribes, or United States are obligated under law, that agency reserves the right to proceed with fulfilling those obligations in such manners as it may deem appropriate.

d) Participation in the Committee by State, Tribal, or Federal entities is also contingent upon availability of funding or appropriation by their respective State, Tribal, or Federal authorities, and their participation does not obligate any specific amount of expenditures

MRRIC Charter FINAL07012008Rev05022012Rev081414 Page 3 in furtherance of this Charter; such expenditures being at the discretion of the State, Tribal, or Federal entity.

v. Once recommendations and guidance are delivered by the Committee to the

Secretary, it is requested that s/he, in coordination with other participating Federal

Agencies, agrees to provide the official federal position on the issue and outline the steps to implement the recommendations by an agreed upon date or provide the reason(s) for not implementing the recommendation.

vi. Committee members are free to abstain from a determination of consensus.
