BPA has questions regarding the action effectiveness study for Salmon Subbasin watershed model implementation in the South Fork Salmon River and Lemhi River.

ISEMP staff would be happy to meet with the BPA FCRPS Biop workgroup to address any questions regarding the watershed model being implemented in the SF Salmon and Lemhi Rivers.  The modeling approach was reviewd by ISRP as a NPCC condition for funding in 2006, and has not changed appreciably.  The implemetnation of on the ground fish and habitat monitoring in the SF Salmon and Lemhi Rivers over the past two years is to paramterize the watershed model.  The model will be used to predict fish population responses to restoration actions planned and underway in the Lemhi River.
