Well no as the mitigation is WDFW's responsibility and the requirements are clear. It does require the signatory parties WDFW, city of Aberdeen Chehalis tribe, QIN agree . If that cannot be done it has a arbitration clause that would allow WDFW to move forward without the QIN or any of the other signatory parties. All they had to do was what they not only agreed to but insisted they be the ones to do the mitigation. In the beginning it my understanding the tribe supported a hatchery but then old game wanted to use the moneys for Steelhead at Aberdeen Lake and WDF did everything to sink the salmon part. Down hill from that point.
