The Coeur d’Alene Tribe has committed to pay half the cost of implementing the new Coeur d’Alene Lake Management Plan next year, matching the state’s contribution equally even though the tribe owns only the southern third of the lake. Helaman Hancock, legislative director for the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, said, “I think it’s extremely important. One thing that we have to understand here is that if this lake management plan doesn’t get funded, the alternative is a federal Superfund remedy, which is not what we need in Idaho.” That’s why the tribe agreed to contribute so much of its own money, he said, more than $375,000. “I think everyone agrees Superfund isn’t the answer”/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.
