Contract Description:
This project is an expansion of the existing project 2007-268-000 and was identified early in the BPA State of Idaho MOA process as a high priority for inclusion.  Both the IDF&G and the draft NOAAF recovery plans highlight the importance of carrying out habitat actions to assist this key salmon population.

The Pahsimeroi River has a unique population of Snake River Chinook salmon, and in contrast with the Lemhi River and East Fork of the Salmon River watersheds, the salmon population in the Pahsimeroi River is a later migrating summer-run Chinook salmon rather than spring-run. Historically, spawning and rearing habitat was probably supported within the watershed for at least two federally –listed anadromous fish species, spring/summer Chinook salmon, and steelhead. (P. Murphy, 2008)  

The Upper Salmon Watershed Project Technical Team, including IDFG Anadromous Fish Screen Program and Regional Fishery Management...  has prioritized the lower Pahsimeroi River and its major tributary, Patterson/Big Springs Creek, as SHIPUSS Priority I streams. Those are tributaries and river reaches that have the potential to realize immediate, tangible benefits to fish if recovery efforts are directed toward them. Goals in the lower Pahsimeroi River and Patterson/Big Springs Creek are to enhance migration in both streams by increasing flow regimes and reestablishing habitat connectivity to unused stream reaches. Mechanisms for attaining these goals focus on diversion consolidations and removal/alterations of diversions hindering fish passage. (P. Murphy, 2008)  

At the request of the Idaho Governor’s Office of Species Conservation (OSC) a technical panel with knowledge and expertise of project opportunities within the Pahsimeroi. This team included Paddy Murphy (Fisheries Biologist), Eric Leitzinger, Larry Weeks, Lynn Stratton and Jim Lukins, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Morgan Case and Helen Herrington, Idaho Department of Water Resources, Mark Olson, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Brian Hamilton, Bureau of Reclamation, Mark Davidson, TNC, Clif Tipton, Bureau of Land Management Fisheries Biologist, Mike Edmondson, OSC and Karma Bragg, Custer Soil and Water Conservation Service. This core team identified the areas of Pahsimeroi with most potential for fisheries enhancement and recovery within the middle Pahsimeroi. Additional support and input is provided by the Custer Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors. The projects were predominantly in Patterson/Big Springs Creek. Patterson/Big Springs Creek is a very important tributary for spawning and rearing of the unique population of Chinook salmon found in the Pahsimeroi.

Reconnection of Duck Creek, increased flows within Patterson/Big Springs Creek with a focus on the lower five irrigation diversions (PBSC 1-5). This includes flow enhancements on PBSC #1,  #9  and work to close P-13 Diversion. These projects were prioritized as projects that could be implemented within the next eighteen months. Work reflected in this statement of work is for PBSC #1 and PBSC #9 in addition to final work to complete the lower Pahsimeroi Fencing project and willow planting and re-hab on the IDFG property.

J97638184Install Fish Passage StructureRemove culverts/passage barriers on Patterson/Big Springs Creek on Hooper LaneHooper Lane cuts across the Pahsimeroi Valley approximately 13 miles upstream from the mouth of the Pahsimeroi River. There are 4 culvert crossings on the road that are currently undersized, and can restrict fish passage at certain flows. These culverts carry Big Springs Creek, Big Springs, Connector Channel, Little Springs Creek, and Pahsimeroi River flows. Replacing these culverts will improve passage to the upstream ends of these drainages for juvenile Chinook salmon, steelhead, and other native species. Replacement of the 4 culverts with bridges, originally suggested by Idaho Fish and Game biologists, was ranked by the Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Program Tech Team in December of 2010. The project scored 76, which is a "high" ranking. US Bureau of Reclamation has completed designs for the bridges. The project is being coordinated through the Custer Soil and Water Conservation District (CSWCD), the Custer County Road Department, and the Lemhi County Road Department. Reclamation will provide construction oversight, and CSWCD will act as the contract officer. Construction is planned for July/August of 2011.$155,71012.20%04/08/201109/30/2011

O9764399Outreach and EducationCoordinate with Agencies and Contractors to complete a training for In-Stream Work WindowsCH2M HILL will conduct a one-day workshop for IDFG, other agency staff and contractors in Salmon, Idaho. The goal of the workshop is to discuss issues relating to in water construction of culvert installations/replacements (I/Rs), headgate I/R’s, bridge I/R’s, road construction, as well as restoration and habitat improvement projects in the State of Idaho. Topics will include best management practices for sediment control, channel diversion, rip rap, permitting, erosion control methods, water control during construction, and re-establishment of vegetation. CH2M HILL will present recent lessons learned on projects similar to those conducted by IDFG. As part of the workshop, CH2M HILL will provide attendees with a binder summarizing the workshop topics, and a laminated Best Management Practice (BMP) “quick reference” card for construction personnel to carry on project sites.$4,8000.38%04/15/201105/06/2011
