| | A | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Developing restoration scenario estimated impacts on fish populations | Assist data and GIS analysts in interpretation and statistical analysis of data. NOAA technical staff with specific GIS, Data Management and Statistical expertise will collaborate to develop novel data analysis products resulting from ISEMP data collection to date.
As designed, ISEMP data collection in the Wenatchee, Entiat, John Day and Salmon River basins represents a novel opportunity for the rigorous evaluation of salmonid habitat and population data to address resource management questions. Several key analyses are now possible, due to the ISEMP data set generated to date, and the recent advances in multivariate and spatial statistics. As an outcome of this work element, the annual analysis workplan for ISEMP and CHaMP is updated and integrated with regional analysis product needs.
This work element involves data analysis to estimate changes in stream habitat quality and quantity based on spatially explicit habitat rehabilitation scenarios and the resultant changes in fish population processes such as capacity and survival. Specifically, this work element will generate estimates of expected “fish benefit” in terms of change in summer and winter rearing capacity, spawning capacity, summer and winter juvenile survival, and adult and juvenile tributary movement patterns. The final work product will be quantitative relationships that can be applied at the scale of stream reaches (e.g., 1:100k hydrography confluence to confluence reaches) to estimate the change in fish population processes as a function of stream rehabilitation actions. The types of habitat quality changes to be evaluated include – in-channel longitudinal complexity, planform stream complexity, riparian vegetation extent, and stream temperature. These habitat quality improvements are generally accomplished with boulder and wood placement, main and side channel construction, riparian planting and protection. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer ESU (Threatened), Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Upper Columbia River Spring ESU (Endangered), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Middle Columbia River DPS (Threatened), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Snake River DPS (Threatened), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Upper Columbia River DPS (Threatened) | |

This work element involves data analysis done to build and parameterize life cycle models in the Wenatchee River basin that integrate tributary habitat quality and quantity data into fish population process metrics such as capacity, survival and movement. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Upper Columbia River Spring ESU (Endangered) | |
| | C | 189 | Coordination-Columbia Basinwide | Coordinate ISEMP and CHaMP into regional RME processes | This work element involves participating in regional RME planning processes to integrate ISEMP/CHaMP data, lessons learned, and analyses into ongoing or emerging RME or tributary habitat management decision making processes.
These regional processes are of three basic types:
1. Planning / prioritization meetings with FCRPS BO coordination entities. These discussion will generally involve staff from BPA, NPCC and NOAA.
2. Regional technical coordination. These discussion are based on outreach, local / regional vetting and feedback, as well as technical collaboration. These discussions are organized by AMIP, ISAB/ISRP, UC and LS RTT, Lower Snake Comp Chinook, LGD coordination committee, PNAMP.
3. National science meeting. These discussion are based on outreach, professional feedback and vetting with the regional to national science and technical community. These discussions are based around presentations or working meetings in conjunctions with professional meetings such as the American Fisheries Society or the American Geophysical Union, or River Restoration Northwest. | | |
| | D | 174 | Produce Plan | Annual analysis workplan for ISEMP and CHaMP | Through regular meetings, weekly coordination calls, and analysis workshops, develop an annual analysis workplan for ISEMP/CHaMP analysis team based on progress to date on current analysis tasks, input from BPA, NPCC and NOAA staff regarding FWP and FCRPS BA and BO needs.
Work under this task will involve travel to meet with comanagers and policy oversight groups to understand regional and programmatic needs for data analysis and product development. Travel will consist of up to 4 trips to locations such as SEA, PDX or BOI. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Snake River Spring/Summer ESU (Threatened), Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Upper Columbia River Spring ESU (Endangered), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Middle Columbia River DPS (Threatened), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Snake River DPS (Threatened), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Upper Columbia River DPS (Threatened) | |

EC documentation to be provided under this work element is as follows:
ESA sampling permit from NOAA for all ISEMP remote site juvenile PIT tagging.
ESA sampling permit from NOAA for operation of adult steelhead trap (weir) in Bridge Creek
ESA sampling permit from NOAA for adult chinook, steelhead and sockeye handling and tagging at Lower Granite Dam Adult Fish Facility
ESA sampling permit from USFWS for incidental encounter of Bull Trout while sampling for ESA listed anadromous salmonids | | |

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. | | |
| | H | 202 | Produce BiOp RPA Report | BiOp RPA Report for ISEMP-CHaMP CY 2017 | Projects that have claimed that they support one or more RM&E RPAs (i.e., RPAs 50-73) under the FCRPS BiOp are required to report their results. To facilitate the summary of these results across the entire Columbia River Basin, and to provide more clarity as to the format required under the BiOp, these reports are required to be completed online. If desired, the required information can be prepared in MS Word, and pasted into Taurus. For more guidance see https://www.cbfish.org/Content/tutorials/Reporting_Guidance_BiOp_2013.pdf. | | |
| | I | 132 | Produce Progress (Annual) Report | Produce CY2017 Integrated RME Technical Report for ISEMP/CHaMP | ISEMP will update the lessons learned synthesis report for FY17 by compiling the work of all ISEMP contractors (from each of the three pilot subbasins and the umbrella group), describing ISEMP's progress in FY17 in relation to its proposed goals and objectives, and document changes in protocols/indicators being monitored that have resulted from data collected over the course of the program. This work will be coordinated by Terraqua Inc., and depends on the collaboration and input of all ISEMP contractors.
The 2017 ISEMP Lessons Learned report will consist only of an update to progress and lessons learned that occurred between reporting points (e.g., since last released project-level report). Descriptions of progress and lessons learned will only be included in the ISEMP Lessons Learned Report if not included in the RM&E and RPA reporting.
Background:
Since its inception in 2003, reporting for Project #2003-017 has been accomplished through reports prepared by individual contractors, an annual program-wide (project-wide) capstone report that collates the reports from each ISEMP pilot subbasin and the data management team, or through BiOp reporting. Also, in 2006 ISEMP produced the first Three-Year Review document, which provided a retrospective of the work that had occurred over the three years since ISEMP's inception through 2006. (http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/research/divisions/cbd/mathbio/isemp/documents.cfm). In 2011 BPA managers (and other entities) expressed the need to have a lessons learned synthesis report covering the entire period of the program. This synthesis report reviewed the relevant F&W Program management questions and RPAs that ISEMP was initiated to help answer. | | |
