     A165Produce Environmental Compliance DocumentationProduce NEPA checklist and regulatory clearances to BPA• Approved 4(d) take application • 4(d) take report • Coordinate with BPA staff to get NEPA Clearance
     B157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataChinook Spawner Survey• Conduct census surveys throughout the known range of spawners to determine spawner distribution and abundance. • Survey randomly drawn 2-km reaches outside traditional survey section areas. • Geographically reference and develop GIS database for redd distributions. • Estimate sex ratio and age structure of returning spawners as well as proportion and origin of hatchery strays. • Use counts of returning PIT-tagged adults to predict spawner escapement prior to surveys. • Complete analysis. Additional Notes: The EMAP sampling approach will not be used for chinook spawner surveys in the John Day subbasin because managers require information at the 4th-level HUC, geographic scale. This sampling universe is effectively too small for subsampling using the EMAP approach given the stream length of our survey units and the number of subsamples that can be drawn within each HUC.Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Mid-Columbia River Spring ESU
     C157Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab DataSmolt monitoring• Collect and PIT tag emigrating spring Chinook and steelhead smolts using seines. • Capture and PIT tag emigrating Chinook and steelhead smolts using rotary screw traps. • Estimate trap efficiency and HUC or management unit abundance of emigrating juvenile chinook and steelhead. • Scale sample steelhead juveniles that migrate past capture locations. • Estimate migration timing for PIT-tagged smolts migrating past Columbia River dam facilities. • Record PIT-tag detections of returning adults at Columbia River dams and estimate SAR and age at return. • Analyze scales of juvenile steelhead. • Complete analysis.Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Mid-Columbia River Spring ESU, Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Middle Columbia River DPS (Threatened)Bass, Smallmouth (M. dolomieu), Carp, Common (Cyprinus carpio) [OBSOLETE], Catfish (Ictalurus spp.) [OBSOLETE], Cutthroat Trout, Westslope (O. c. lewisi), Freshwater Mussels, Lamprey, Pacific (Entosphenus tridentata), Pikeminnow, Northern (Ptychocheilus oregonensis) [OBSOLETE], Trout, Brook (Salvelinus fontinalis), Trout, Bull (S. confluentus) (Threatened), Trout, Interior Redband (O. mykiss gairdnerii), Trout, Rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
     D162Analyze/Interpret DataSAR and Out-migrant Abundance• Estimate trap efficiency (% of fish captured that pass trap location) and HUC or management unit abundance of emigrating juvenile chinook and steelhead. Periodic trap efficiencies from mark/recapture calculations convert trap catches of smolts to abundance of smolts migrating past trap. • Estimate smolt-to-adult returns (SAR, percentage, # tagged adults/# tagged smolts for each smolt migration year) for both steelhead and spring Chinook populations. SAR estimates are for period between PIT tagging of smolts in traps and the return of adults to Mainstem Columbia River dams below mouth of John Day River.Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Mid-Columbia River Spring ESU, Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Middle Columbia River DPS (Threatened)Lamprey, Pacific (Entosphenus tridentata)
