This work element also includes PNNL’s support for revisiting the estuary’s research, monitoring, and evaluation plan , the annual CEERP restoration practitioner’s workshop, the Pacific Northwest regional plenary session for the 2020 National Conference on Ecosystem Restoration, and the Mutual Learning Group for ecosystem restoration. The latter is an information sharing platform among CEERP, the Puget Sound Partnership’s restoration and acquisition program, and the WDFW’s Estuary and Salmon Restoration Program. | $73,721 | 17.17% | 11/01/2019 | 10/31/2020 |

| E | 194660 | 141 | Produce Other Reports | Other Reports for BPA | Building on FY16--FY19 work and reporting, five research elements and one manuscript element will be undertaken for WE 141 in FY20. Travel for WE 141 will involve one 3-day two-person trip from Sequim to Astoria vicinity for the ongoing reed canarygrass control experiment, three 3-day two-person trips Portland/Sequim for RDC meetings, and four 4-day 2-person trips (Astoria 2 nights, Portland 1 night) for surface elevation table monitoring.
1. Reed Canarygrass (RCG) Experiment – A six-year field experiment on reed canarygrass control methods is currently underway by the Columbia Land Trust at restoration projects at Kandoll Farm (commenced in 2016) and Kerry Island (commenced in 2017). During summer 2020, PNNL will sample vegetation at the two study sites: Kandoll Farm (fourth year post-treatment) and Kerry Island (third year post-treatment). The experiment is scheduled to be completed with the final summer vegetation samplings at Kandoll Farm and Kerry Island in 2021 and 2022, respectively. For FY20, PNNL will produce a progress report on the RCG experiment results to date and include it in the annual report for Project No. 2002-077-00.
2. Considerations for Incorporating Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Technology into CEERP – There is an ongoing need to increase the cost-effectiveness and productivity of action effectiveness monitoring as the number of planned and completed CEERP restoration projects increases, while available funding remains flat or decreases. For FY20, we propose to coordinate and collaborate with regional practitioners currently using UASs, such as the Columbia Land Trust, Columbia River Study Taskforce, Cowlitz Indian Tribe, Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership, NOAA Fisheries, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, to begin a process to provide information relevant to considerations for incorporating UAS technology into CEERP. PNNL’s role would be to provide scientific support to the regional process for UAS technology. No new UAS data would be collected in FY20 as part of PNNL’s effort. We will document the UAS work as an appendix in the FY20 annual report for Project No. 2002-077-00.
3. Spruce Swamp Reference Model (SSRM) Development – The forested wetlands dominated by Sitka spruce, "tideland spruce," are a unique ecosystem to the Pacific Northwest that has been severely impacted by anthropogenic actions. The SSRM will benefit CEERP by providing the end point for restoration practitioners to design to for spruce swamps. For FY20, we propose to complete a draft SSRM. We will document the SSRM work to date as an appendix in the FY20 annual report for Project No. 2002-077-00.
4. Preparation for Implementing the Large Woody Debris (LWD) Study Plan – The ecological function of LWD in estuaries is poorly understood. During FY20, we propose to begin preparations for implementing the LWD study plan developed in FY19. For FY20, PNNL will produce a progress report on preparations for implementing the LWD study plan and include as an appendix it in the annual report for Project No. 2002-077-00.
5. Surface Elevation Tables (SETs) – Surface elevation tables (SETs) are the state-of-the-art for measuring sediment accretion rates. During FY18 and FY19, PNNL installed six SETs representing tidal river and estuarine system zones, and energetic conditions including bay, main stem river, and tributary to the extent possible, and a gradient from marsh to forested wetland. During FY20, we propose to make surface elevation measurements at each of the sites four times in the course of the year (November, February, May, and August). For FY20, we will document the SET field activities along with preliminary sediment accretion/erosion data and include it as an appendix in the annual report for Project No. 2002-077-00.
6. Manuscripts – Publishing the results of RDC research in the peer-reviewed literature is fundamental to a strong scientific basis for CEERP. During the FY20, we will complete and submit the manuscripts on large wood distribution and habitat connectivity. In addition for FY20, we will prepare and submit one new manuscript on decomposition of plant material in LCFER wetlands to support food webs for juvenile salmon. We will summarize progress and status of RDC-related manuscripts in the FY20 annual report for Project No. 2002-077-00. | $169,862 | 39.56% | 11/01/2019 | 10/31/2020 |
