| A | 36064 | 165 | Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation | Provide environmental compliance information to BPA for projects on Forest Service Lands | All applicable NEPA, ESA and cultural resources consultation will be completed for all contract activities. | $1,080 | 2.00% | 03/01/2008 | 08/31/2008 |
| B | 36065 | 122 | Provide Technical Review and Recommendation | Provide Technical Review for the Merton Creek Culvert Replacement | The Merton Creek culvert will be replaced under a separate contract of this project between the Nez Perce National Forest (NPNF) and BPA in FY 2008. The Nez Perce Tribe will provide technical support and assistance to the NPNF to accomplish this task. Work includes planning, design, performing field work, and training, as needed, for key staff to maintain best management practices. | $19,440 | 36.00% | 03/01/2008 | 10/31/2008 |
| C | 36066 | 186 | Operate and Maintain Habitat/Passage/Structure | Maintain Fence | Three miles of fence were constructed between the years of 2000 & 2001 to protect critical meadow habitat. Fence consists of post and rail, and post and four-strand barbed wire.
Additional Notes: The fence maintenance and construction crew is used by the entire watershed division. This project will be completed between the start and end date, but the exact timing is dependent on other projects within the division. | $9,180 | 17.00% | 03/01/2008 | 12/31/2008 |
| D | 36067 | 47 | Plant Vegetation | Plant riparian vegetation | The meadow habitat in upper Mill Creek has lost over 90% of its riparian vegetation since 1930. It is virtually devoid of riparian vegetation, so this project will re-vegetate the riparian zone. This ongoing effort was started by the Nez Perce Tribe in 2001, and to date over 9,500 trees and shrubs have been planted. Additional plantings are warranted to restore a healthy, functioning riparian zone that provides shade to the stream, which will reduce lethal stream temperatures. Work includes planning, ordering of materials, performing field work, and training, as needed, for key staff to maintain best management practices. | $5,400 | 10.00% | 03/01/2008 | 02/28/2009 |
| E | 36068 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Collect Data on Culverts that have been Replaced | Collect data on culverts that were replaced in 2004 through present in Mill Creek and adjacent watersheds. A monitoring plan has been developed to gauge the success of culvert replacements. Data is collected upon installation (year 0), one year after installation (year 1), five years later (year 5), and 10 years later (year 10) in order to determine successes and changes that are occurring with culvert replacements and removals. Work includes planning, design, performing field work, and training, as needed, for key staff to maintain best management practices. | $3,780 | 7.00% | 03/01/2008 | 10/31/2008 |
| F | 36069 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Stream Habitat Data Collection | Data is needed to monitor and evaluate biological, chemical and physical habitat parameters that affect salmonid production in the Mill Creek watershed. Information will be collected on macro-invertebrates, flow, temperature, sediment composition, and habitat parameters including channel morphology, valley width index, Wolman Pebble counts, cobble embeddedness, large woody debris, bank stability, and riparian condition and density.
The monitoring will occur between the start and end dates above, but the exact timing for the locations will be determined and adjusted during the field season.
This monitoring effort is done per the established protocol titled 'Mill Creek: Monitoring Restoration Effectiveness' that was developed in April, 2001 and revised in February, 2005 by the Nez Perce Tribe. Initial data surveys for some parameters were completed in 2001 and subsequent data collection has occurred at the prescribed intervals per the protocol in the following years. Three reference monitoring reaches have been established on Mill Creek, one at the mouth, near the South Fork of the Clearwater River; one in the middle section; and one in the upper watershed at the Mill Creek meadow. The full set of monitoring parameter data was collected in FY 05 and FY 06, and per the established protocol only a subset of that data is scheduled for collection in FY 08 as described below.
Sampling frequency will reflect the response time that each monitoring variable exhibits. High intensity monitoring of slow response variables, such as channel profile surveys, will be completed every five years. Low intensity monitoring of quick response variables, including temperature and discharge sampling and noxious weed surveys, will be completed on a continuous or annual basis. Several parameters will be measured with moderate intensity and frequency, such as cobble embeddedness and streambed composition. | $3,780 | 7.00% | 03/01/2008 | 02/28/2009 |
| G | 36070 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Mill Creek Data Analysis | After data is collected on biological, chemical, physical habitat, and fish presence, abundance and distribution, it will be analyzed and compiled into monitoring reports.
Analysis of the monitoring data involves looking for trends over time, as well as determining whether the habitat objectives are being met. Therefore, regression analysis and confidence intervals will be performed for the range of variables where applicable. We will test the null hypotheses that there is no trend over time (the slope is not significantly different from zero). Analyses shall be performed on the designated reaches and culvert replacement sites within each drainage area. | $5,400 | 10.00% | 03/01/2008 | 02/28/2009 |
| H | 36071 | 119 | Manage and Administer Projects | Management, Coordination and Communication | Project management includes coordinating project activities, attending meetings and workshops, seeking additional funding, prioritizing and scheduling of projects, employee supervision, preparing statements of work, managing budgets, and completing reports. Training will be completed, as needed, for key staff to maintain best management practices.
The Nez Perce Tribe and the NPNF (Nez Perce National Forest) have been partners in watershed restoration since 1996, which includes sharing funds and resources to complete projects. Each year, project specifics are spelled out in an agreement that is signed by both parties. | $3,780 | 7.00% | 03/01/2008 | 02/28/2009 |
| I | 36072 | 132 | Produce Progress (Annual) Report | Complete Annual Report for the period 3/1/08-2/28/09 | The progress (annual) report summarizes the project goals, objectives, hypotheses, completed and uncompleted deliverables, problems encountered, lessons learned, and long term planning for future improvement. | $1,080 | 2.00% | 03/01/2008 | 02/28/2009 |
| J | 36063 | 185 | Produce CBFish Status Report | Periodic Status Reports for BPA | The Contractor shall report on the status of milestones and deliverables on a quarterly basis in Pisces. Additionally, when indicating a deliverable milestone as COMPLETE, the contractor shall provide metrics and the final location (latitude and longitude) prior to submitting the report to the BPA COTR. | $1,080 | 2.00% | 07/01/2008 | 02/28/2009 |
