| D | 30530 | 189 | Coordination-Columbia Basinwide | 7.1 ISEMP Wenatchee/Entiat Coordination | Terraqua will represent the interests of the ISEMP at meetings of the RTT, the Entiat Watershed Planning Unit, and the mid-Columbia PUD's HCP Hatchery Committee, and will coordinate electronically and in-person with the following entities that may be involved in this Program: RTT, EWPU, U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE), Chelan PUD, Yakama Nation, NOAA-Fisheries, BPA, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Chelan County, Cascadia Conservation District, and other parties as necessary.
Terraqua will coordinate ISEMP contractors to help insure that contractors SOWs and deliverables meet ISEMP needs and that contractor budgets stay within the overall ISEMP budget and other available funds. Terraqua will also coordinate the analysis and reporting of ISEMP products with Quantitative Consultants, NOAA, and other program analysts. | $82,546 | 22.45% | 07/01/2008 | 06/30/2009 |
| E | 30531 | 174 | Produce Plan | 7.2 Implementation Tracking Tool | Terraqua will continue to maintain and update the Project Tracking Tool developed since 2005 that serves to document changes to scientific study design that have occurred since the inception of ISEMP to assist project contractors in conducting field work and to assist ISEMP analysts in the interpretation of project data. This database will continue to be a "living" tool that will be periodically updated as necessary and will be electronically accessible to all ISEMP contractors and cooperators. This document will be updated and maintained in working draft format through June 30, 2009. | $3,974 | 1.08% | 07/01/2008 | 06/30/2009 |
| F | 41795 | 174 | Produce Plan | 7.3 Wenatchee/Entiat Strategy Updates | Terraqua developed strategies for the implementation of the ISEMP program in the Wenatchee and Entiat subbasins in FY05 and FY06, respectively. These strategies were developed as working documents and were intended to be updated as needed. Changes in the institutional, scientific, and policy settings within which the ISEMP program operates within these two subbasins require that these strategy documents be updated. For example, the completion of ESA recovery plans within these two subbasins in 2007 will soon lead to large scale implementation of restoration programs. ISEMP needs to ensure that its goals and objectives remain consistent within these new contexts and that ISEMP program elements will continue to meet the rigorous scientific needs of the larger ISEMP program within these two subbasins. Furthermore, local groups that cooperate with the ISEMP program, including the Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board and its Regional Technical Team, look to ISEMP as the template for monitoring in the Wenatchee and Entiat and would like to adopt ISEMP's monitoring strategies for their recovery implementation work. For these reasons, Terraqua will review and revise the existing ISEMP monitoring strategies for the Wenatchee and Entiat subbasins within this work element.
This work element is based on Work Element B in Contract 27480 Release 1 and Task 2.2 of Master Agreement 14880 Release 2. | $8,714 | 2.37% | 07/01/2008 | 06/30/2009 |
| G | 30533 | 189 | Coordination-Columbia Basinwide | 7.4 ISEMP Pilot Subbasin Coordination | Implementation of the Project among the three pilot subbasins, particularly in the area of data management, analysis, reporting, and dissemination of information to other users in the Columbia Basin and states of OR, ID, and WA, requires close coordination of numerous entities who are participating in the Project. Terraqua will represent the interests of the Project at meetings of the pilot subbasin coordinators and will coordinate electronically and in-person with these coordinators and other entities that are developing data management systems, analysis, reporting, and document/conference preparation materials related to Project #2003-017-00. | $13,673 | 3.72% | 07/01/2008 | 06/30/2009 |
| H | 30534 | 174 | Produce Plan | 7.5 Protocol Development | Terraqua has been developing working scientific protocols for the ISEMP program since FY05, for habitat, and in FY07 for several other ISEMP survey techniques. These protocols were developed as working documents and were intended to be updated as needed. In FY08, Terraqua will coordinate the revision of working draft scientific protocols suitable to describe field and data management methodologies for several methodologies implemented by ISEMP in the Wenatchee/Entiat. These include updating existing protocols for habitat surveys, fish capture and tagging, fine sediment, water quality, snorkel, redd surveys, smolt trapping/efficiency trials, macroinvertebrates sampling, site selection, and operation and maintenance of Passive Instream Antennas. Terraqua will work with field crews, who have used previous working drafts of these documents in the field, to revise these documents to ensure that current ISEMP methodologies are sufficiently documented, and that each protocol provides descriptions of proper data management that matches the needs of each protocol's ATM data management tool, and will produce a revised and updated working draft document for each protocol.
Other ISEMP pilot subbasins have been considering adopting some of the protocols developed in the Wenatchee/Entiat subbasins. In selected cases, where appropriate, the protocols that will be revised and updated within this work element will include expanded sections that allow for easier transfer of these protocols to other ISEMP subbasins.
Completion of this work element will require substantial input from ISEMP contractors and ISEMP data managers. | $29,729 | 8.09% | 10/01/2008 | 05/30/2009 |
| I | 30535 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | 7.6 Macroinvertebrate Analysis | Terraqua will subcontract with Rhithron Associates, Inc. in Missoula, Mt. for identification of fifty (50) macroinvertebrate samples collected by WDOE staff in the Wenatchee Subbasin in 2008. Terraqua, Inc. will also collect macroinvertebrate samples at up to fifty-five (55) sites in the Entiat and ten (10) sites in the Wenatchee subbasins
(see Work Element J:157 "Task 7.7" and Work Element L:157 "Task 7.9" for details regarding these sites). At the end of field sampling in fall 2008, Terraqua, Inc. will transport macroinvertebrate samples to Rhithron. Terraqua/Rhithron will provide identification of macroinvertebrates to the lowest practical levels consistent with the River Invertebrate Prediction and Classification System (RIVPACS; Hawkins et al. 2001) protocol, including midges and worms to genus or species using a 500-organism random subsample. Terraqua/Rhithron will deliver standardized metric calculations and will archive the identified fraction of the sample for one year. | $33,620 | 9.15% | 07/01/2008 | 04/30/2009 |
| J | 30536 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | 7.7 Entiat Effectiveness Monitoring | Terraqua will assist in the implementation of project effectiveness monitoring in the Entiat River under the ISEMP program. This work will include: monitoring of habitat/channel/riparian/macroinvertebrate conditions using protocols from the Upper Columbia Monitoring Strategy at thirty (30) restoration project control and treatment sites and at twenty-five (25) randomly located reference sites used for comparison of watershed status and trends with sites in the restoration project area; habitat quantification to support snorkeling work during three (3) snorkel surveys to be conducted by the USFWS at the thirty (30) restoration project control and treatment sites which will be snorkeled in 2008-2009; coordination of the monitoring work conducted by USFWS, CCCD, and Terraqua; and data synthesis, analysis, and storage and preparation of a brief technical synthesis report that will include results from habitat and snorkeling work by USFWS and Terraqua. | $119,988 | 32.64% | 07/01/2008 | 06/30/2009 |
| K | 30537 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | 7.8 Field Survey Assistance | The USFWS, YN, WDFW, and USFS are all performing related field work under Project # 2003-017-00 but, due to restricted budgets and lack of available agency personnel, are often unable to assign redundant staff who would receive adequate field training and who would complete their field work in the case of illness, injury, or other staffing changes among the dedicated personnel.
Four (4) Terraqua, Inc. field technicians will undergo the field protocol training for snorkel surveys alongside one of, or all of, the agencies involved (USFWS, YN, and USFS), and will assist the Yakama Nation for up to twenty (20) person-days of snorkel surveys that are already included in the ISEMP snorkel schedule. In addition, four (4) Terraqua Inc., field technicians will participate in an ISEMP study of snorkel count variability for up to twenty-four (24) field-person-days.
One (1) Terraqua, Inc. fisheries ecologist and one (1) field technician will participate in field protocol training for steelhead redd surveys alongside each of the agencies involved (USFWS, WDFW, and USFS) to ensure that steelhead surveys conducted by these agencies are standardized and consistent with ISEMP protocols.
Additional field support could be made available through an amendment to this Release if the agency’s staffing disruptions were anticipated to be long-term. Terraqua staff will work under the direction of field crew leaders of the appropriate agency and therefore will be covered by that agency's environmental compliance permits. | $31,027 | 8.44% | 07/01/2008 | 06/30/2009 |
| L | 30538 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | 7.9 Repeat Habitat/Channel/Riparian/Macroinvertebrate Sampling in Wenatche | Per the Upper Columbia Monitoring Strategy (Hillman 2006), five of the 50 sites (10 percent) sampled by Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) for habitat/channel/riparian/macroinvertebrate conditions will be resampled by independent field crews. Each of these 5 sites will be resampled twice by Terraqua field crews for a total of three visits at five sites, which is necessary to calculate between crew variability. Also, in this work element, Terraqua crew members will participate in 5 days of annual training with WDOE in advance of the 2008 field season. | $16,767 | 4.56% | 07/01/2008 | 06/30/2009 |

| N | 30539 | 141 | Produce Other Reports | 7.11 ISEMP's Project Annual Review Report | The ISEMP Project Annual Review Report is the capstone report for all activities that are separately contracted under this Project #2003-017. Prior to 2006, this reporting has been completed by reports prepared by individual contractors or has been accomplished through BiOp reporting. BPA managers and ISEMP coordinators and other entities have expressed the desire to have the complete program summarized in a periodically updated program review document. In 2006, a three-year review was created with the intention of updating that document annually beginning in 2007.
In this work element, Terraqua will produce the 2008 ISEMP Project Annual Review, a document that compiles and coordinates the reports of all ISEMP contractors from each of the three pilot subbasins and the umbrella group (Note: ISEMP contractors will continue to provide BPA with annual reports regarding contract-specific progress and work performed), describes all ISEMP progress in the past year of the program in relation to ISEMP proposed goals and objectives, and documents changes in protocols/indicators being monitored that have resulted from data collected. This document will be stored on the ISEMP web site and uploaded to Pisces. | $3,014 | 0.82% | 07/01/2008 | 06/01/2009 |
| O | 42333 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | 7.12 Macroinvertebrate Foodweb Structure | Previous ISEMP analyses of macroinvertebrates have been based on counts and identification of macroinvertebrates communities with the understanding that macroinvertebrates, as an integral part of salmonid food webs, may provide a key for monitoring status/trend and project effectiveness on salmonid populaitons. Recent advances in scientific understanding, and uncertainty, over food web dynamics (i.e. how does prey availability and predator impacts effect salmonid populations) suggest that macroinvertebrate populations may be more sophisticatedly analyzed.
In this work element, we will use isotopic analysis as a more sophisticated tool to understand the trophic interactions of target salmonid populations and their prey and predators. Samples of macroinvertebrates and fish tissues, collected by other ISEMP collaborators under environmental compliance permits already in hand by those agencies (see below for details), will be analyzed for carbon and nitrogen isotopic signatures to provide insight into trophic interactions and spatial variation in salmonid foodwebs.
Up to 2205 macroinvertebrate and fish tissue samples, collected by other ISEMP collaborators under separate collection permits, will be processed and analyzed by Eco Logical Research, Inc, under subcontract to Terraqua. Terraqua will deliver data on stable isotopic signatures for carbon and nitrogen for each sample that is processed according to the detailed deliverable specifications outlined below.
Environmental Compliance Details: ISEMP is working in collaboration with Oregon State University to obtain the samples that will be analyzed in this work element. OSU is conducting a larger study (named: "Developing a rigourous ecological assessment using stable isotopes for the mainstem John Day River"), of which this work element is just one part. In that larger study, OSU researchers will be collecting fish and macroinvertebrate samples under the following collection permits: NOAA Permit 1559 and ODFW Permit OR2008-4575. OSU has agreed to allow ISEMP access to these samples. More information on this study, particularly ISEMP's collaboration with OSU, can be obtained from ISEMP Program Manager, Dr. Chris Jordan at 541-754-4629. The lead OSU investigator is Dr. Robert Hughes at 541-754-4516. | $12,397 | 3.37% | 07/01/2008 | 06/30/2009 |
