Senate Joint Memorial No. 104 is a resolution from the Idaho Legislature addressing the management of the Camas National Wildlife Refuge (Camas NWR) and the adjacent Mud Lake Wildlife Management Area (Mud Lake WMA). The resolution highlights the historical significance of these areas, particularly the seasonal flooding of Mud Lake due to Camas Creek, which has been obstructed over time, affecting water delivery to agricultural users. The bill emphasizes the need for a more efficient permitting process to clean Camas Creek, advocating for state-level permitting over the federal process, which is described as slow and cumbersome.

The resolution requests that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expedite the permit application for cleaning Camas Creek and proposes the transfer of ownership and administration of the Camas NWR to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. This transfer aims to enhance the management of both the Camas NWR and Mud Lake WMA, allowing for more effective conservation efforts for wildlife in the region. The resolution concludes with a directive to forward copies of the memorial to relevant congressional leaders and the incoming director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
