| | C | 186 | Operate and Maintain Habitat/Passage/Structure | Maintain approximately 15 miles of existing riparian fencing | Over the last decade, fencing projects have been implemented to protect and restore riparian habitat along numerous streams in the Sanpoil River drainage. Successful protection and restoration of riparian habitat by fencing will only be successful if the fencing is regularly monitored and maintained. The project staff will monitor and maintain (repair) approximately 15 miles of existing riparian fencing along the following streams: Lost Creek (1.5 miles), Moses Creek (1.5 miles), Twentythreemile Creek (4.5 miles), North Nanamkin Creek (2.0 miles), Bridge Creek (2.0 miles), Thirtymile Creek (1.0 miles), South Nanamkin Creek (1.0 miles), and Capoose Creek (1.5 miles). | Trout, Interior Redband (O. mykiss gairdnerii) | Kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) |
| | D | 115 | Produce Inventory or Assessment | Habitat inventory of Sanpoil Subbasin streams | Biologists and technicians will complete habitat inventories of the streams in the Sanpoil River drainage. Due to the focus on migratory rainbow trout all inventory work will be completed downstream of complete natural fish passage barriers. The inventories will be conducted according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Aquatic Inventories Project Methods for Stream Habitat Surveys (ODFW 2011). | Trout, Interior Redband (O. mykiss gairdnerii) | |
| | E | 115 | Produce Inventory or Assessment | Assessment of fish species distribution in select Upper Columbia and Sanpoil Subbasin streams | We will hire a subcontractor to complete assessments of the fish species distribution in the Barnaby, Hall, Stranger, and Nez Perce creek and Sanpoil River drainages. The fish distribution data will be used in future Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment (EDT) modeling to investigate limiting factors for migratory rainbow trout. Fish species distribution is an EDT Level II attribute that addresses predation risk and competition. Due to the focus on migratory rainbow trout all inventory work will be completed downstream of complete natural fish passage barriers.
We will use CHaMP protocols (Bouwes et al. 2011; champmonitoring.org) for site selection. Per the CHaMP protocols, sampling effort is balanced across valley type (source, transport, and response valley segments). Twenty-five sites are being surveyed each year in two strata, the Sanpoil River drainage (n=25) and the east side tributaries (combined into 1 strata, n=25). Within each strata, 15 sites are fixed and surveyed every year while 10 are part of a 3 year rotating panel. Fish species distribution is being determined using the Integrated Status and Effectiveness Monitoring Program protocols described in (Terraqua Inc. 2009). | Trout, Interior Redband (O. mykiss gairdnerii) | Kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka), Trout, Brook (Salvelinus fontinalis), Trout, Rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss) |
| | F | 115 | Produce Inventory or Assessment | Assessment of aquatic macroinvertebrates in select Upper Columbia and Sanpoil Subbasin streams | We will hire a subcontractor to complete assessments of the aquatic macroinvertebrates in the Barnaby, Hall, Stranger, and Nez Perce creek and Sanpoil River drainages. The macroinvertebrate data will be used in future Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment (EDT) modeling to investigate limiting factors for migratory rainbow trout. Macroinvertebrate diversity and production is an EDT Level II attribute that addresses food availability. Due to the focus on migratory rainbow trout all inventory work will be completed downstream of complete natural fish passage barriers.
Macroinvertebrate data will be collected at the same sites as the fish distribution sampling and will conducted using CHaMP protocols (Bouwes et al. 2011; champmonitoring.org). | Trout, Interior Redband (O. mykiss gairdnerii) | |
| | G | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Monitor stream temperatures & water quality in select Upper Columbia and Sanpoil Subbasin streams | A subcontractor will collect water quality and discharge data on streams in the Barnaby, Hall, Stranger, and Nez Perce creek drainages, as well as streams in the Sanpoil River drainage. Due to the focus on migratory rainbow trout all water temperatures and water quality monitoring will be completed downstream of complete natural fish passage barriers.
Water quality and discharge data will be collected at the same sites as the fish distribution and macroinvertebrate sampling and will conducted using CHaMP protocols (Bouwes et al. 2011; champmonitoring.org). Water quality parameters to be measured include dissolved oxygen, pH, alkalinity, conductivity, turbidity, temperature, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus.
CCT biologists and technicians will monitor water temperatures at the water quality, discharge, macroinvertebrate, and fish sites, as well as approximately 100 other tributary confluences within these drainages. Water temperatures will be measured and recorded hourly using temperature loggers. Temperature logger deployment and downloads will be conducted according to the Colville Tribes Lake Roosevelt Habitat Improvement Draft Continuous Water Temperature Monitoring Protocol (Daley 2011).
The USGS will be subcontracted to measure and record discharge on the Sanpoil River at the Silver Creek Bridge (above Jack Creek) at Keller, WA (USGS Gage 12434590). They will operate a real-time gage station provide continuous discharge data that is available via the internet (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?site_no=12434590). | Trout, Interior Redband (O. mykiss gairdnerii) | Kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) |
| | H | 160 | Create/Manage/Maintain Database | Database hosting and maintenance | The CCT Resident Fish and Wildlife Database incorporates all data collected by staff during resident fish and wildlife research, monitoring, and evaluation activities. We will contribute this project's share of database hosting, backup, and maintenance costs. | | |
| | I | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Pre-EDT model development data preparation | Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment (EDT) modeling is used to predict how fish populations might respond to habitat actions (Lestelle et al. 2004). It is the results of these models that are used to identify and prioritize habitat protection and restoration actions. We are collecting data to facilitate the future use EDT modeling to assess current production of rainbow trout, estimate what the natural intrinsic population production potential is, and identify and prioritize habitat actions to increase production. Prior to completing EDT modeling for the Upper Columbia (Barnaby, Hall, Stranger, and Nez Perce creeks) and Sanpoil Subbasin (Sanpoil River and all tributaries) streams, projected in 2014 and 2015 respectively, we must 1) delineate the EDT reaches and Diagnostic Units, which are reach aggregations, or drainage areas, useful for EDT modeling of resident fish populations - for example, we will likely want to discretely define those areas used by adfluvial redbands from those that are not, but that may be used for future modeling purposes, 2) develop/automate procedures for conversion of LRHIP habitat data to EDT Level 2 input parameters, and 3) developing EDT template condition values for Level 2 input parameters. This work will be conducted by subcontract, with assistance by CCT biologists. | Trout, Interior Redband (O. mykiss gairdnerii) | |

| | N | 184 | Install Fish Passage Structure | Replace SR21 culvert at S. Nanamkin Creek | The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will be subcontracted to complete construction and implementation of the State Highway Route 21 at South Nanamkin Creek. This culvert is inadequate and it caused a back-up of water in 2006 that lead to considerable damage to stream and added large loads of sediment that blocked fish passage at the mouth. These damages have required us to do two separate projects to repair the damage, replace lost riparian fencing, stabilize banks and open passage to the Sanpoil. The replacement of this culvert will protect existing habitat and passage improvements. WSDOT was originally scheduled to complete the culvert replacement in the fall of 2012; however, due to delays in the construction of the culvert the replacement has been delayed until August 2013. Funding for the replacement construction and implementation is being cost shared with WSDOT. | Trout, Interior Redband (O. mykiss gairdnerii) | Kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) |
