Contract Description: The Integrated Status and Effectiveness Monitoring Program (ISEMP, 2003-017-00) is an ongoing collaborative effort to design, test, implement and evaluate Status and Trends Monitoring for salmon and steelhead populations and their habitat, and watershed-scale Effectiveness Monitoring for management actions impacting salmon and steelhead populations and habitat in the Interior Columbia River Basin.
ISEMP explicitly addresses work requirements of many 2008 FCRPS Biological Opinion RPAs (56.1, 56.2, 56.3, 57.1, 57.2, 57.3, 57.4, 57.5) and is directly related to additional 2008 FCRPS Biological Opinion implementation strategy requirements and recommendations. ISEMP takes a pilot-project approach to the research and development of monitoring by implementing experimental programs in several major subbasins of the Interior Columbia: the Wenatchee, Entiat, Methow, John Day, South Fork Salmon and Lemhi River basins. The overall goa... l of the project is to provide regional salmon management agencies with the data, information and tools necessary to design efficient and effective monitoring programs.
Specifically, ISEMP generates quantitative guidance on and examples of: the robustness and limitations of population and habitat monitoring protocols, indicators and metrics; sampling design approaches for the distribution of monitoring effort in time and space; analytical approaches to the evaluation of monitoring data, information and programs; effective data management and communication designs that support the use, standardization and compilation of implementation, compliance, status, trends and effectiveness monitoring data by regional data generators and decision makers; and finally the design and implementation of watershed-scale restoration actions to maximize both the biological impact and associated learning opportunities resulting from the design and implementation strategy.
Through its work to date, ISEMP has developed expertise in the coordination and implementation of large-scale monitoring data collection programs. Applying this experience, ISEMP coordinates the installation, maintenance and calibration of in-stream PIT tag arrays across the Snake River basin and is designing and coordinating the implementation of a Columbia River basin-wide stream habitat status and trends monitoring. These programmatic implementation facets of ISEMP leverage previous experience with logistics and social factors to effectively implement comprehensive, standardized monitoring research and development at an unprecedented scale.
This contract is one of several contracts that will implement this project. Each contract is responsible for an end of contract progress report. Additionally, a project level "synthesis report" will also be produced under this project and data and analysis from this contract will be utilized in the production of that project level report. The synthesis report is a deliverable under the Terraqua contract (not this contract) under this project. Under this contract, the Yakama Nation will collaborate with ISEMP and other participating agencies (Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and US Fish and Wildlife Service) to conduct fish tagging and monitoring surveys at status and trend sites in the Wenatchee and Entiat subbasins.
Technical methodologies for all work conducted under this SOW will follow protocols specified in the following document unless changes to these methodologies are mutually agreed to by Terraqua, Inc. and YN: Hillman, T.W. 2006. Monitoring strategy for the Upper Columbia Basin: Draft report August 1, 2006. Prepared for Upper Columbia Regional Technical Team, Wenatchee, Washington, and Nelle et al 2010.

In order to coordinate among Project elements, the need for any changes in scope that may arise during the implementation of this SOW will be communicated to NOAA Fisheries and Terraqua, Inc. (by contacting Chris Jordan (1 541 754 4629) and Mike Ward (509-486-2426)). Actual changes to this SOW must be approved by BPA.

Column filters help you find the rows you are interested in by hiding the rows that don"t match your criteria
To filter a column using text, type one or more letters into the filter field
To filter a column using a numerical expression, type numbers and =, <, >, >=, or <= symbols.
To filter a column to a range of values, use n1..n2, where n1 represents the start value, n2 represents the end value, and two periods are used to capture all values in between.
The Contractor shall report on the status of milestones and deliverables in Pisces. Reports shall be completed either monthly or quarterly as determined by the BPA COTR. 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.
Assemble, gather, acquire, or prepare documents in support of obtaining environmental compliance from BPA (such as filling out a NEPA Checklist, providing maps, obtaining permits, etc.).
Perform normal duties associated with Project Management. This includes communicating with BPA and/or subcontractors, in addition to attending meetings specific to the project. Additionally, this work will cover the preparation of the new Statement of Work (SOW), fiscal accrual estimates, Biological metrics / location information. This work element will also cover time to respond to BPA, Council, or CBFWA requests specifically related to the performance and/or budget of this project.
Mark-recapture surveys at sites in the Entiat Rvier as part of the IMW
This task funds the YN to assist the USFWS and Terraqua with seining/collection activities for the mark-recapture of juvenile anadromous salmonids at sites in the Entiat River under the Entiat Intensively Monitored Watershed (IMW) study.
The mark-recapture study will use various capture techniques including but not limited to seining, snerding (snorkel-herding), dip netting, e-herding, angling.
All YN staff involved with this survey work will be trained in various capture methods and have prior snorkeling experience. Snorkeling will be done in dry suits. Water temperature will be collected during each survey.
Conduct fish monitoring at up to 50 status and trend sites in the Wenatchee and Entiat
From 2004 through 2010 ISEMP used snorkel surveys to generate abundance indices, which have proved useful but limited in the types of biological data that can be collected. Beginning in 2011 status and trend monitoring for fish populations in the Upper Columbia will use a new protocol based on a fish monitoring protocol designed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and ISEMP for monitoring fish abundance, survival, and growth by capturing/sampling/tagging fish in the Entiat Intensively Monitored Watershed. This will bring the Upper Columbia in line with the fish monitoring protocols in the John Day and Salmon subbasins and the effectiveness monitoring in the Entiat IMW, and allows for better exploration of fish/habitat relationships.
This work element provides for the YN to provide two (2) crew members to assist a multi-agency crew lead by Terraqua to conduct fish monitoring under the ISEMP's status and trend monitoring study in the Wenatchee and Entiat River subbasins.
PIT tagging juvenile salmon and steelhead for status and trend monitoring
The YN will be part of two, four-person crews tagging juvenile anadromous salmonids using Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags at 50 sites in the Wenatchee and Entiat River subbasins as part of ISEMP status and trend monitoring.
The progress reports for both the Entiat IMW mark-recapture study and the status and trend fish monitoring is being produced by other collaborating agencies (USFWS produces an annual report for the Entiat IMW mark-recapture work and Terraqua produces a report covering the status and trend fish monitoring). Under this WE the YN will review the draft reports and provide feedback and comments. This contract is responsible for the deliver of data and analysis to cooperating entities working under ISEMP. There will not be a stand-alone progress report required under this contract -- the status reporting process will be the basis for documenting contract deliverables.
