     D172Conduct Pre-Acquisition ActivitiesFinalize Real EstateThis project is a large habitat restoration project situated on approximately 1,000 acres of Columbia River floodplain in the Columbia River Gorge. The project site is located on the Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge (Steigerwald NWR) property, owned by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Port of Camas-Washougal (Port), and others. Project goals are to restore the site’s historic hydrology and improve fish passage and off-channel habitat conditions for ESA-listed Columbia River salmon and steelhead. Specific habitat restoration actions being considered include breaching the existing levee, constructing a setback levee to protect critical property and infrastructure, removing Gibbons Creek infrastructure (diversion structure, elevated channel, and fish ladder), and implementing general habitat enhancements (LWD placement, riparian plantings, etc.). The project will benefit steelhead and cutthroat trout, coho and chum salmon, Pacific and western brook lamprey, and multiple Chinook salmon ESUs. All of these species are documented in Gibbons Creek and/or nearby Columbia River floodplain habitats, e.g., Reed Island, Mirror Lake, and the Sandy River Delta. Project partners include the USFWS, Port of Camas-Washougal, Friends of the Columbia Gorge, City of Camas - Washougal, WSDOT and BNSF. Tasks include finalizing real estate, easements and permitting needed to construct, and competitively bid and negotiate contracts with construction firms. Construction is anticipated in 2019-2022, not including some aspects of vegetation establishment.Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) - All Populations, Chum (Oncorhynchus keta) - Columbia River ESU (Threatened), Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) - Lower Columbia River ESU (Threatened), Lamprey, Pacific (Entosphenus tridentata), Lamprey, River (L. ayresi), Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) - All Populations
     E100Construction Management*CANCELED* LCEP Construction OversightThe overall project is complex with many overlapping activities which will require field oversight and administration to ensure compliance with contract drawings and specifications. Since there are a variety of critical timing restrictions for in-water work/fish passage, detailed project schedules must be developed and strictly followed to meet these deadlines. In addition, the overall project is being performed within a National Wildlife Refuge and in accordance with a variety of Local, State and Federal permits that authorize various regulated activities within environmentally-sensitive areas. These authorizations include both general and special conditions which will be strictly enforced as part of the construction oversight. Project Initiation requires the development of Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) and Soil Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) plans. Each of these plans must be enforced in the field for the duration of the Project. The Project team will attend weekly meetings, perform field inspections, assist with contract administration, and interface with contractors and engineers to manage issues that may arise during construction. This work will be performed for the duration of the contract period. *CANCELED*Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) - All Populations, Chum (Oncorhynchus keta) - Columbia River ESU (Threatened), Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) - Lower Columbia River ESU (Threatened), Lamprey, Pacific (Entosphenus tridentata), Lamprey, River (L. ayresi), Sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka) - All Populations, Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) - All PopulationsSturgeon, Green (Acipenser medirostris), Sturgeon, White (A. transmontanus) - Lower Columbia River
