C | 39255 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Stream Habitat Data Analysis | Physical, chemical, and biological stream habitat data collected from aquatic habitat surveys in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 within the Big Canyon Creek Watershed will be analyzed. | $6,900 | 3.95% | 03/01/2007 | 10/15/2007 |
D | 39256 | 174 | Produce Plan | 10-year Restoration Plan (NPT - NPSWCD) | Fish presence, abundance and habitat data collected in 2003, 2004, and 2006, stream habitat data collected in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, and other applicable, watershed-wide assessments will be analyzed and compiled to create a 10-year Restoration Plan for the Big Canyon Creek Watershed.
As stated by BPA in the FY 07-09 Implementation Decision document, this 10-year Restoration Plan will be developed cooperatively and jointly by both the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT) and the Nez Perce Soil and Water Conservation District (NPSWCD). The integration and union of the Tribe and the Conservation District will ensure that mixed land ownership within the watershed, eg. tribal, private, state and federal, does not impede or hinder the biological objectives of the Restoration Plan. | $83,910 | 48.02% | 04/01/2007 | 10/15/2007 |
E | 39257 | 53 | Remove Vegetation | Treat 15 Acres of Exotic Invasive Plant Species | NPT staff will treat up to 15 acres for non-native, invasive plant species using mechanical and chemical means where necessary. These 15 acres are on Allotment 1029 along Long Hollow Creek within a riparian buffer area for which a conservation plan was developed in 2006. | $6,000 | 3.43% | 03/01/2007 | 04/30/2008 |
F | 39258 | 47 | Plant Vegetation | Plant 10 acres with native trees and shrubs | Restoration work on Allotment 1029 was initiated in 2006 with the development of a conservation and management plan. During 2007, a NPT seasonal field crew will plant approximately 10 acres of native trees and shrubs within the newly-established riparian zone. This activity will occur in concert with the weed control activity (WE E). | $6,000 | 3.43% | 03/01/2007 | 04/30/2008 |
G | 39259 | 186 | Operate and Maintain Habitat/Passage/Structure | Maintain 3 Miles of Previously Constructed Fence | It is necessary to perform annual maintenance on fence projects that were constructed between 2003-2006 with BPA and cost-share funds to exclude livestock from aquatic and riparian areas on parcels throughout the Big Canyon Creek Watershed. The fence maintenance/construction crew is used by the entire Watershed Division. Therefore, this project will be completed between the start and end date, but the exact timing is dependent on schedule coordination with other projects within the division. | $7,285 | 4.17% | 03/01/2007 | 02/29/2008 |

This work element will be based on the 10-year restoration plan that will be developed in 2007 under this contract (WE D), and the natural resource assessment work that has been completed by the NPT and NPSWCD over the last several field seasons. The NPT Natural Resource Assessment and Management Plan (NRAMP), which was performed on tribal parcels in 2005 and 2006, and the Nez Perce Soil and Water Conservation District's Stream Assessment Method (SAM), which has been was performed annually on private parcels since 2003, will provide the basis for project selection. | $8,335 | 4.77% | 09/01/2007 | 04/30/2008 |
