     A185Produce CBFish Status ReportPeriodic Status Reports for BPAThe Contractor shall report on the status of milestones and deliverables in Pisces. Reports shall be completed either monthly or quarterly as determined by the BPA COTR. Additionally, when indicating a deliverable milestone as COMPLETE, the contractor shall provide metrics and the final location (latitude and longitude) prior to submitting the report to the BPA COTR.
     B132Produce Progress (Annual) ReportAnnual Reports for BPAContractor will draft and submit a FY09 annual report detailing progress implementing the pile structure program and development of the Action Agency restoration project approval process and methodology. The report will document milestones accomplished as well as outstanding issues in program development. This report will be submitted the BPA Project Manager by the attaching the report as an attachment to Pisces.
     C122Provide Technical Review and RecommendationTechnical Support and GuidanceThe Pile Structure Program as envisioned in RPA 38 establishes a new pile structure program. Significant effort has been expended by the Estuary Partnership and the Action Agencies to guide the new program toward project implementation. In the next fiscal year, the Estuary Partnership will move to test program hypothesis by monitoring site conditions and performing environmental compliance activities. It is likely that actual implementation of pile structure removal or enhancement will occur. The contractor will provide technical support guidance to the Estuary Partnership and the Action Agencies to ensure successful and timely implementation.Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) - All PopulationsChum (Oncorhynchus keta) - Columbia River ESU (Threatened), Coho (O. kisutch) - Unspecified Population, Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) - Lower Columbia River ESU (Threatened), Sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) - All Populations, Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) - All Populations
     D114Identify and Select ProjectsStrategic Habitat IdentificationThe goal of this work element is to help move estuary habitat project selection from opportunistic to strategic by utilizing emerging scientific tools currently available. In 2008, a demonstration project using the ecosystem classification system, salmonid genetic information, and a project assessment of Reach F, provided a new basis for identifying projects in the estuary. A steering committee and temporary expert panel was formed to help guide the development of priority project types and geographic areas. This project builds upon the 2008 project by expanding the project to apply similar concepts to two additional reaches in the estuary. This includes the development of GIS products that depicts potential projects in terms of habitat capacity (restoration of hydrologically connected sites) and habitat opportunity (opening sites to salmonid use where dikes or levees have cut them off). This will be accomplished using available estuary tools including Lidar, t-sheets, Ortho layers, historical photos, field visits, and communications with local entities engaged in project development. Draft products will be developed in coordination with the Estuary Partnership, the Lower Columbia Fish Recovery Board, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, CREST, Columbia Land Trust, Cowlitz Tribe, watershed councils, and conservation districts. Special attention will be directed to project development efforts initiated by the Estuary Partnership and the Columbia Land Trust. This project also provides technical support to Bonneville Power Administration for implementation of the pile structure program, development of the ecosystem classification system, and regional monitoring.
