Contract Description:

BACKGROUND

The construction of hydroelectric facilities in the Columbia Basin resulted in the extirpation of anadromous fish stocks in Hangman Creek and its tributaries.  Thus, the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe was forced to rely more heavily on native fish stocks such as redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss garideini), westslope cutthroat trout (O. clarki lewisii) and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) as well as local wildlife populations.

Throughout the 20th Century native fish and wildlife habitats within the Hangman Watershed were degraded from widespread conversion to agriculture production and intensive timber harvest.  Currently, wildlife and fish populations in the Hangman Watershed are marginalized and water quality is significantly impaired.  The Coeur d'Alene Tribe's response to current conditions has been to initiate two mitigation projects within the Watershed to protect, restore and/... or enhance priority riparian, wetland and upland areas within the Hangman Watershed in order to promote healthy self-sustaining fish and wildlife populations.  The Coeur d'Alene Tribe's Fisheries Program implements BPA Project #2001-032-00, while the Tribal Wildlife Program implements BPA Project #2001-033-00.  The Fisheries Program's Project directs efforts toward studying the current fish populations within the Hangman Watershed and protecting and restoring both instream habitats and the remaining stocks of native fish.  The Wildlife Program directs efforts at protecting and restoring landscape level habitats and hydric functions that provide proper water quality and quantity to support instream flows that accommodate native fish.  The Wildlife Project used the acquisition of priority wildlife habitats as an initial step towards providing stream flows and wetland habitats essential to native salmonid populations.  All proposed #2001-033-00 activities are designed to assist in alleviating water quality and quantity problems within the entire Hangman Watershed as well as improve wildlife habitats to credit Habitat Units to the Bonneville Power Administration.

The Hangman Restoration Project was initially contracted in August of 2001.  The first year was focused toward conducting initial investigations into the potential of the Hangman Watershed and selecting parcels that offered the greatest potential to support native fish and wildlife habitats.  The second year was focused toward acquiring the first priority properties, securing those properties, continuing investigations into the potential of the Hangman Watershed and establishing monitoring and evaluation protocols.  Unfortunately, acquisitions were never completed due according to anticipated timelines due to budgetary constraints.  In FY2005, the Project overcame a loss of credibility with landowners to complete the acquisition of properties previously indentified in the Prioritization Plan.

FY2006 SCOPE OF WORK

The FY2005 Expense Contract that funded the assessment and initial investigations into the potential of the purchased properties was not established until May of 2005.  This late date of contracting did not allow sufficient time to complete hydrologic assessments of the acquired properties.  With this FY2006 Scope of Work, the Coeur d'Alene Tribe intends to complete the needed assessments to determine the portential of habitats within the acquired properties.  The assessment findings will be used to determine the most cost effective means of improving the native wildlife and fish habitats as well as boost the production of Habitat Units to credit the Bonneville Power Administration.  The assessment findings will be used to draft Management Plan that will direct restoration and protection efforts on the acquired properties.

Portions of the land purchased in FY2005 are not suitable to the Bonniville Power Administration's Wildlife Mitigation Program.  The FY2006 Scope of Work also includes several Work Elements intended to dispose of the portions of the properties unsuitable to the Mitigation Program in favor of lands that fit will with the Conservation Easement that allows HU credits to BPA.

C	9890	172	Conduct Pre-Acquisition Activities	Set Value of Dwelling and Approximately 20 Acres	The central dwelling and approximately 20 acres within properties purchased in FY2005 will be sold on the open realty market or traded for lands of equal value. Fair market value of the dwelling along with the acreage and accompanying shops and outbuildings must be determined in order to proceed as agreed upon by BPA and the Coeur d'Alene Tribe during the Hanson Property purchase. If the suitable trading options are found, fair market value of the trade properties must be established and all Federal requirements for property acquisitions are met.	$36,000	13.26%	11/01/2005	06/30/2006

The evaluation is being completed through a subcontract with Hardin-Davis of Corvallis, Oregon. Project manager will administer the subcontract and the project technician will gather data from instraments installed in the field by Hardin-Davis. The weekly and/or monthly gathering of data by the project technician will greatly reduce the cost of the subcontract while insuring the reliability of the data.	$25,100	9.24%	10/01/2005	09/30/2006
