Contract Description:
The CTUIR Walla Walla River Basin Fish Habitat Enhancement Project, initiated in 1996, is an ongoing effort to protect, enhance, and restore riparian and instream habitat for natural production of anadromous salmonids in the Walla Walla River Subbasin.  Proposed activities will focus on the restoration of critical riparian, floodplain, and channel characteristics necessary to enhance populations of salmonid fish species.  The Project's 2007 focus will be two priority reaches of the basin, the South Fork of the Walla Walla River, and the South Fork of the Touchet River. Within the South Fork of the Touchet River (Rainwater Wildlife Area) the project proposes to meet limiting factors identified in the Subbasin Plan through the placement of LWD and road obliteration.  This work will be done in coordination with the BPA funded Rainwater project (BPA Project 200002600). Two additional projects are planned for the mainstem Walla ... Walla River and will include pool enhancement and riparian and upland restoration.  The project is also proposing to continue operations and maintenance (on 10 streams miles of existing project areas) and project effectiveness monitoring.

M2278522Maintain VegetationControl invasive species at Various Project SitesThis WE involves the maintenance of natives trees and shrubs in areas where the project currently has conservation easements. Noxious weeds are generally more aggressive than native plant species that the project is trying to reestablish. This combined with drought conditions during the months of July through September complicates native plant reintroduction. For reintroduced native plants to be successful the project has found it is generally necessary to provide at least two years of maintenance, sometimes more. By this time the plants have developed a mature enough root system and above ground plant size to compete with non-native species. Maintenance activities include chemical herbicides, hand-pulling of weeds, mowing, weed barrier mats, watering, etc.$18,3295.66%02/01/200605/01/2007
