| | A | 185 | Produce CBFish Status Report | Periodic Status Reports for BPA | The Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council will submit periodic status reports on project milestones according to the reporting schedule outlined in this agreement. | | |
| | B | 119 | Manage and Administer Projects | BPA Administrative Tasks | Tasks required by BPA to administer the contract, including cost share, updating work element budgets, etc. | | |
| | C | 165 | Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation | Environmental Compliance | Assist BPA with performing environmental compliance activities for the project. In addition, the sponsor is responsible for any local, state, or federal permits required.
Sponsor's subcontractor will hire a qualified outside archeology firm to complete section 106 permitting. | | |
| | D | 191 | Watershed Coordination | Coordination on Section 408 Alteration Determination Application | Supports the Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council coordinate with Wolf Water Resources on the required components for the Section 408 Request. We anticipate these actions to culminate into an Alteration Determination Application that will be submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers. | | |
| | E | 175 | Produce Design | 30% Design Iteration for Lower Reach | Elijah Bristow State Park is a 850-acre recreation site owned and managed by OPRD located on the lower reaches of the Middle Fork Willamette River approximately 120 miles from the Willamette's confluence with the Columbia and below 3 large dams: Hills Creek, Lookout Point and Dexter. Once a dynamic floodplain, dynamism has been lost due to its location below the dams which have altered the hydrologic and sediment regimes within the reach, and previous gravel mining operations. The absence of natural disturbance due to persistent and ongoing anthropogenic impacts has left habitat features in the park either stagnant or in a state of degradation. The proposed project area covers 437 acres of the park including slough and backwater channels, active and relict side channels, and the confluence between the Lost Creek tributary and the Middle Fork Willamette River.
This task covers the development of Stage-0 informed process-based floodplain restoration designs for the Lower Reach project area up to 30% completion. This is an important step in developing restoration designs and moving towards project permitting. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Upper Willamette River ESU (Threatened), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Upper Willamette River DPS (Threatened) | |
| | F | 175 | Produce Design | 60% Design Iteration for Upper Reach & Lower Reach | Elijah Bristow State Park is a 850-acre recreation site owned and managed by OPRD located on the lower reaches of the Middle Fork Willamette River approximately 120 miles from the Willamette's confluence with the Columbia and below 3 large dams: Hills Creek, Lookout Point and Dexter. Once a dynamic floodplain, dynamism has been lost due to its location below the dams which have altered the hydrologic and sediment regimes within the reach, and previous gravel mining operations. The absence of natural disturbance due to persistent and ongoing anthropogenic impacts has left habitat features in the park either stagnant or in a state of degradation. The proposed project area covers 437 acres of the park including slough and backwater channels, active and relict side channels, and the confluence between the Lost Creek tributary and the Middle Fork Willamette River.
This task covers the development of Stage-0 informed process-based floodplain restoration designs for both the Upper Reach and the Lower Reach project areas up to 60% completion. This would bring the entire project to a permit-ready status. | Chinook (O. tshawytscha) - Upper Willamette River ESU (Threatened), Steelhead (O. mykiss) - Upper Willamette River DPS (Threatened) | Chub, Oregon (Oregonichthys crameri) (Endangered through FY2015), Freshwater Mussels, Lamprey, Pacific (Entosphenus tridentata), Wildlife |
| | G | 99 | Outreach and Education | Coordination with Project Technical Team & Community Advisory Committee | Elijah Bristow State Park (EBSP) floodplain restoration planning is supported by a Technical Team of agency, Tribal Government, and non-profit organization representatives who have jurisdiction, interest, or expertise vital to the development of restoration designs.
Through an OWEB funded Stakeholder Engagement process, the Middle Fork Willamette Watershed Council convened a group of community members consisting of neighboring landowners and representatives from park user groups (equestrians, anglers, hikers, bikers etc.) to provide input on floodplain restoration designs at Elijah Bristow State Park. This group has been informed on Stage-0 restoration techniques and is poised to provide input on restoration designs to ensure they incorporate the needs of diverse user groups are incorporated into restoration actions.
This task includes conducting meetings and other coordination actions with both the EBSP Technical Team and Community Advisory Committee. | | |
| | H | 132 | Produce Progress (Annual) Report | Submit Annual Progress Report for the period (July 1, 2023) to (June 30, 2023) | A final report will be compiled summarizing design process for the Upper Reach and Lower Reach restoration areas and progress on the submission and decision outcome of the Section 408 Process with US Army Corps of Engineers. | | |
| | I | 132 | Produce Progress (Annual) Report | Submit Progress Report for the period (July 1,2024) to (June 30,2025) | A final report will be compiled summarizing design process for the Upper Reach and Lower Reach restoration areas including experience with project stakeholders and section 408 process with Army Corps of Engineers. | | |
