other equipment), fish passages, removal of barriers,
construction, maintenance, and management of hatcheries and
refuges, and possibly other, as yet unidentified, items.
Estimated cost of capital expenditures for the Program is $5
million. This estimate will be refined, and may be increased or
decreased, depending on the success of various recovery
activities in the San Juan Basin. It is anticipated that these
funds will be appropriated from the federal Land and Water
Conservation Fund, other existing federal funds, or other
Participant funding mechanisms. Federal appropriations will
require recommendation of the Department of the Interior and
Congressional authorizations and appropriations. Non federal
funds may also be used to support capital expenditures. All
Participants agree to support efforts to provide capital funding
for this Implementation Program as needs are identified by the
Coordination Committee.

6.5 ADMINISTRATION OF RECOVERY FUNDS

All funds will be used in accordance with the priorities
established in this Implementation Program under an annual work
plan prepared by the Program Coordinator, in consultation with
other Participants, and approved by the Coordination Committee.
The Coordination Committee will review research activities and
priorities and oversee spending and allocation of all
Implementation Program funds. Annual funding will be available
from each of the designated annual funding sources at the
beginning of each federal fiscal year (October 1), unless
otherwise agreed to. An annual accounting of funds allocated in
the preceding fiscal year will be provided to the Coordination
Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year, identifying funds
to be earmarked by each funding source for Implementation Program
activities for the upcoming year. When appropriated, capital
funds will be disbursed by the Service, acting on the
recommendations of the Coordination Committee.

Annual funds will be administered directly by the agencies
(federal, state, etc) responsible for the funds, according to
their individual administrative regulations and procedures. The
Program Coordinator will be responsible for maintaining records
showing distribution and expenditures of all annual and capital
funds expended under the workplan by each funding source. An
accounting of funds expended during the preceding year will be
provided at the end of each fiscal year.

Wherever possible, funds accruing directly to this Implementation
Program will be placed in interest-bearing accounts, such as
those administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation,
until such time as they are utilized in accordance with the
annual budget approved by the Coordination Committee. The
Service will be responsible for administering and accounting for
these Implementation Program funds. Interest accruing to these
accounts will ,be used to support recovery activities.
