| | H | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Conduct juvenile seining and PIT tagging activities in Bridge Creek IMW | This task funds ELR to conduct seining/collection activities for the capture of juvenile anadromous salmonids at sites throughout Bridge Creek and South Fork John Day. In order to ensure a high power to detect effectiveness of stream restoration, ELR will follow the monitoring program outlined in the Bridge Creek Intensively Monitored Watershed workplan. At each selected site, a sample of the collected juvenile salmon and steelhead will be PIT tagged to enable life-stage specific survival estimates via recapture in subsequent seining/collection surveys, at rotary screw traps, extended length PIT tag arrays, and mainstem dam PIT tag interrogation facilities. Additionally, each PIT tagged individual will be weighed, measured for length, scales sampled, and life stage identified. Physical site description will include, at a minimum, site length, average width and depth from a minimum, average gradient, and proportion of major instream habitat types (pools, riffles, runs, rapids). Fish collection methods will not be limited to seining, but in order to ensure adequate sample sizes crews may employ angling, electrofishing, and snerding. | Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Middle Columbia River DPS (Threatened) | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Mid-Columbia River Spring ESU |

| | J | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Conduct juvenile seining in intensively surveyed watersheds | This task funds the ELR to conduct seining/collection activities for the capture of juvenile anadromous salmonids at sites throughout selected watersheds within John Day Basin. ELR will collaborate with ODFW to develop a hierarchical survey strategy that will not only address status and trends of salmonids and their habitat but also provide potential information for the development of fish-habitat relationships, limiting factor analyses, prioritization and planning of restoration and management, and pre-project information for effectiveness monitoring programs. In addition, the strategy also provides data to help determine the appropriate sampling scales for monitoring, protocol precision, accuracy and efficiency, protocol comparisons, and development of protocol crosswalks. ELR will conduct juvenile fish surveys between and within watersheds stratified by population throughout the John Day basins five major population groups (MPG). At each selected site, a sample of the collected juvenile salmon and steelhead will either be fin clipped to estimated abundance through mark-recapture estimates or PIT tagged to enable life-stage specific survival estimates via recapture in subsequent seining/collection surveys, at rotary screw traps, extended length PIT tag arrays, and mainstem dam PIT tag interrogation facilities. Additionally, each PIT tagged individual will be weighed, measured for length, scales sampled, and life stage identified. Physical site description will include, at a minimum, site length, average width and depth from a minimum, average gradient, and proportion of major instream habitat types (pools, riffles, runs, rapids). Fish collection methods will not be limited to seining, but in order to ensure adequate sample sizes crews may employ angling, electrofishing, and snerding. | Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Middle Columbia River DPS (Threatened) | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Mid-Columbia River Spring ESU |
