Maintain riparian fence.
The Habitat Program currently maintains nearly 70 miles of riparian fence on the Reservation to protect fish habitat. The fence network also includes 10 water developments to provide off channel watering locations for livestock.
Staff, equipment and vehicle funding for this work element will be supplied through this contract annually. It is anticipated that this riparian fence network will increase over time as projects are implemented that require long term maintenance.
A cultural survey will be completed to allow for the relocation of a small section or riparian/wetland protection fence along Beaver Creek at Dahl Pine in 2011. Once completed funds will be used to contract the construction of the relocated fence line.
Table 1 below presents a detailed list of the fence network by watershed. A map of this information is presented in the section 10 Narrative for the DRRP.

| D | 84934 | 186 | Operate and Maintain Habitat/Passage/Structure | Place Additional LWD At Shitike Creek Restoration Project | BPA is the lead agency.
The Shitike Creek Restoration Project was completed in September 2009. Since construction three high flows have occurred in Shitike Creek. In January 2011 a 20-year flow event occurred, resulting in some areas of erosion around critical large wood structures. The project is performing correctly, but due to the short period replanted vegetation has had to grow roots and stabilize newly constructed banks some erosion has occurred at a few critical locations.
To alleviate these concerns the Habitat Program is planning to place LWD (whole junipers) at sites where shear stress on the banks needs to be reduced to allow vegetation to recover. Designs will be developed by Habitat Program Staff.
These sites are within a recent restoration project that has concurrence letters for ESA and cultural. Work will be done through a contract during the instream work period, July 1 - August 15. | $15,000 | 7.56% | 03/15/2011 | 12/31/2011 |

| H | 84801 | 175 | Produce Design | Develop Design For Potters Pond Restoration | The Mid Columbia Steelhead Recovery Plan lists habitat complexity in Mill Creek from Potter's Pond to Old Mill Camp on the Warm Springs Reservation as a factor limiting steelhead production.
The Habitat Program will use funding from this contract matched with funds secured from the Pacific Salmon Coastal Recovery Fund ($80,000) to contract engineering services to complete a restoration design for Mill Creek at Potter's Pond.
Design elements will include the construction of pools, glides and riffles, side channels, and connected off channel wetland and alcove feature appropriate for the site. In addition to the construction of absent habitat features the project will include the addition of large woody debris to a level appropriate for the site along with the removal lateral floodplain berms that are currently reducing flood plain connection and function of the site.
Objectives of this project are:
1. Increase habitat for juvenile salmonid rearing during summer base flow and high flow periods.
2. Increase adult salmonid holding and spawning habitats.
3. Increase floodplain connectivity and hydrologic connectivity and function of the site.
4. Restore appropriate riparian vegetation and wetland features of the site.
5. Increase the interaction between surface and subsurface flow within the project site to create and promote the development of seasonal thermal refuge for salmonids.

| J | 76888 | 114 | Identify and Select Projects | Identify & Select Projects For Future Implementation | Work conducted under this element will include planning, prioritization and coordination that must occur to keep developing projects on a timeline. The DRRP will develop an execute an instream and watershed scale restoration program that will technically supported and funded by a variety of different sources and agencies.
Staff time under this work element will involve working with internal natural resources staff, external agencies, Tribal committees, and other support parties to execute the program vision.
Many of the projects that the DRRP will develop will have several common elements to them. These will include:
Livestock management--fencing, water developments and coordination with resource
users.
Vegetation management--planting, weed spraying, thinning. Maintain a diverse, dynamic
mosaic of native vegetation communities and wildlife habitats. Maintain appropriate
vegetation for health watershed function, including infiltration, storage, and release of water
to maintain or improve water quality, water quantity, timing and duration of flow. Develop
treatments consistent with timing and magnitude of natural disturbance and with
consideration for the range of natural variability of habitat, the constraints of the land area,
geography, and ecosystem potential.
Riparian Treatment--Facilitate recovery of riparian systems in Proper Functioning Condition
that allow development of desired habitat characteristics. Provide quality aquatic and
riparian habitat for native species restoration and population production potential. Establish
functioning riparian buffers by restoring native vegetation. Manage native and non-native
species to the benefit of native species restoration and population production. Restore
floodplains and hydrologic function through riparian vegetation treatments.
Introduced Species Management--Minimize the impact of introduced species on native
vegetation.
Instream habitat improvement--guided by subbasin and recovery plans, utilize active and
passive restoration techniques to restore in-stream habitat and channel bank stability.
Road management--closing and decommissioning of roads that are a resource concern.
Minimize impacts of roads, including erosion and sediment control structures, obliteration,
and decommissioning to reduce sediment delivery to streams and to reduce the miles of
road per square mile across the treatment area.
Project Selection:
In no specific order of priority, actions will be considered for the potential to achieve the greatest benefits to species if they:
- Provide long-term habitat protection and conservation of ecological processes supporting
viability of priority populations and primary life history stages.
- Protect or enhance viability of multiple steelhead populations.
- Support conservation of unique and rare functioning habitats, habitat diversity, life history
stages, or species specific genetic attributes.
- Target key limiting factors that contribute the most to closing gaps between current status
and desired future status of target populations.
- Target key limiting factors that contribute to improvement from current condition to the
desired future condition of habitat attributes.
- Provide critical information necessary for evaluating success and making decisions
supportive of adaptive management of the species and habitat. | $20,000 | 10.08% | 03/15/2011 | 02/29/2012 |
| K | 76889 | 99 | Outreach and Education | Communication With Tribal Public | Work under this element will be focused on communication with the Tribal public.
Flyers/brochures will be printed and distributed that describe the program along with both current and future projects. Tribal involvement is crucial to the success of our restoration and watershed management projects. Creating a communication element to our program that informs the Tribal public of our up-coming projects and the objectives will lead to better projects.
When applicable the program will work with the entire natural resources staff to develop educational seminars/presentations that will lead to improved management and stewardship of Tribal lands. | $1,000 | 0.50% | 04/01/2011 | 02/29/2012 |
