Contract History:
The Lolo Creek Watershed Restoration project (1996-077-02) has been an on-going project of the Nez Perce Tribe Fisheries Watershed Program and BPA since 1996. The ultimate goal of the project is to restore the physical and biological characteristics of the watershed to provide quality habitat for anadromous and resident fish species that support the historical, cultural and economic practices of the Nez Perce Tribe. The Lolo Creek watershed contains proposed critical habitat for listed species steelhead trout, potential critical habitat for bull trout, and has moderate habitat potential for spring Chinook salmon. Restoration in this watershed focuses on restoring riparian processes by addressing increased water temperatures, increased sedimentation, cattle grazing affects, fish passage issues, and noxious weed infestations. The project addresses passage problems, primaril... y at road/stream crossings, on both private and federal land, and addresses riparian planting and riparian protection program management. Completed contract work includes culvert prioritization and assessment, installation of an off-site watering development, 19 culvert replacements, 8 culvert removals, 1600 ft. of stream bank stabilization, 75 miles of road decommissioning, 16 miles of fence installation, over 16,000 riparian trees planted, and continued monitoring and evaluation.
Summary of FY 09 contract work:
This project is a part of the Clearwater National Forest-Nez Perce Tribe Watershed Restoration Partnership with in-kind contributions from the Clearwater National Forest. Since the project's inception, we have shared project planning, costs, and implementation responsibilities. There are two contracts under this project. The primary contract is with the Nez Perce Tribe. This contract with the Clearwater National Forest includes only the funding for the White-White II road decommissioning, the Yakus Creek Road decommissioning, and the Mox Creek culvert replacement and removal, and the Musselshell Creek culvert removal.
A) White-White II road decommissioning
Road densities in the Lolo Creek watershed are 4.8 miles per square mile, the target for road densities is 1.0 miles per square mile. Up to 10 miles of road decommissioning will be completed under the proposed White-White II road decommissioning project. This work will include re-contouring roads back to natural topography and de-compacting skid trails and landing areas which will reduce surface erosion and sediment delivery to streams. The Nez Perce Tribe, under a separate BPA-NPT contract of this project, will assist in bid package preparation, contractor selection, technical oversight, final inspection, and the associated project implementation/effectiveness monitoring.
B) Yakus Creek road decommissioning
Road densities in the Lolo Creek watershed are 4.8 miles per square mile, the target for road densities is 1.0 miles per square mile. Up to 10 miles of road decommissioning will be completed under the proposed Yakus Creek road decommissioning project. This work will include re-contouring roads back to natural topography and de-compacting skid trails and landing areas which will reduce surface erosion and sediment delivery to streams. The Nez Perce Tribe, under a separate BPA-NPT contract of this project, will assist in bid package preparation, contractor selection, technical oversight, final inspection, and the associated project implementation/effectiveness monitoring.
A) Replacement and removal of three culverts
The Mox Creek culverts have been identified as a high priority for replacement and removal as they are undersized and do not pass all life stages of fish. These culverts will be replaced and removed by the Forest Service (Clearwater National Forest) under this BPA-CNF contract, and the Nez Perce Tribe will assist in bid package preparation, contractor selection, technical oversight and final inspection under the BPA-NPT contract of this project.
The Musselshell Creek culvert has also been identified as a high priority for removal as it is undersized and does not pass all life stages of fish. This culvert will be removed by the Forest Service (Clearwater National Forest) under this BPA-CNF contract, and the Nez Perce Tribe will assist in bid package preparation, contractor selection, technical oversight and final inspection under the BPA-NPT contract of this project.

Excessive road density was defined as one of the major contributors to degraded habitat condition in Lolo Creek for both aquatic and terrestrial species (Upper Lolo Creek Ecosystem Assessment at the Watershed Scale and Clearwater Subbasin Assessment). Road densities in the Lolo Creek watershed are 4.8 miles per square mile, and the target road density is 1.0 mile per square mile.
The Clearwater National Forest (CNF) and the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT) have worked together since 1996 to decommission roads on National Forest lands under a watershed restoration partnership. In 2004 NPT and CNF personnel began surveying and prioritizing roads in the White-White Creek basin. Initial road decommissioning began in the White-White area in 2004, continued in 2008, and this work element will continue to decommission roads that have been previously identified and prioritized in this basin.

In 2006 - 2008 NPT and CNF personnel surveyed and prioritized roads in the Yakus Creek basin. This work element will begin the decommissioning of the roads that have been previously identified and prioritized in this basin.
A BPA funded culvert inventory and assessment was completed by the NPT for the entire Lolo Creek watershed in 2004. The Mox Creek #2 culvert on Road 5192 was identified as a high priority for replacement in the watershed as it is undersized and does not pass all life stages of fish. This work element will return fish passage to 1.5 miles of stream by replacing the existing culvert that is a spring Chinook and steelhead migration barrier. The culvert is located in Sec.13, T35N, R6E.
A BPA funded culvert inventory and assessment was completed by the NPT for the entire Lolo Creek watershed in 2004. The Mox Creek #3 culvert on Road 5128 was identified as a high priority removal in the watershed as it is undersized and does not pass all life stages of fish. This work element will return fish passage to 1.0 mile of stream by removing the existing culvert that is a spring Chinook and steelhead migration barrier. The culvert is located in Sec. 33, T36N, R6E.
A BPA funded culvert inventory and assessment was completed by the NPT for the entire Lolo Creek watershed in 2004. The Musselshell Creek culvert was identified as a high priority removal in the watershed as it is undersized and does not pass all life stages of fish. This work element will return fish passage to 4.0 miles of stream by removing the existing culvert that is a spring Chinook and steelhead migration barrier. The culvert is located in Sec. 33, T36N, R6E.
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.
The Nez Perce Tribe and the Clearwater National Forest (CNF) 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.
An annual report will not be completed for this contract. Instead, a project level annual report, which covers both the CNF contract and the NPT contract, will be completed by the Nez Perce Tribe under the BPA-NPT contract of this project.
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.
