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 (Terraqua, Inc., and Fish and Wildlife and US Fish and Wildlife Service) to conduct fish tagging and monitoring surveys at effectiveness monitoring sites in the Entiat River subbasin under the Entiat Intensively Monitored Watershed.
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. Monitoring strategy for the Upper Columbia Basin Appendix B: An Implementation Strategy for an Intensively Monitored Watershed Study in the Entiat River Subbasin, 2010 Working Version, Prepared for Bonneville Power Administration, Entiat Watershed Planning Unit, Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board, November 30, 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.
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.
Fish monitoring 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 capture of juvenile anadromous salmonids at sites in the Entiat River under the Entiat Intensively Monitored Watershed (IMW) study.
The 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.
The YN will be part of three crews tagging juvenile anadromous salmonids using Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags at effectiveness monitoring sites in the Entiat River subbasin as part of ISEMP's Entiat IMW.
Reporting contribution for RME and Lessons Learned
ISEMP will update the lessons learned synthesis report for FY14 by compiling the work of all ISEMP contractors (from each of the three pilot subbasins and the umbrella group), describing ISEMP's progress in FY14 in relation to its proposed goals and objectives, and documents changes in protocols/indicators being monitored that have resulted from data collected over the course of the program. This work will be coordinated by Terraqua Inc., and depends on the collaboration and input of all ISEMP contractors.
Under this contract, the Yakama Nation will collaborate with ISEMP and other participating agencies (Terraqua Inc., 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. The results of this work will be coordinated, compiled, and submitted to BPA by Terraqua Inc., using the BPA-supplied reporting templates for the RME and RPA reports (both the RM&E Technical Report Template and Annual RPA report will be generated at the project, or ISEMP, level). Each contract holder within the project will provide the necessary information to complete these reports, and the overall report production and completion will be coordinated and delivered as part of the Terraqua contract under this project[(By March 1st each year) (Required only if FCRPS BiOp association identified for the project)
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.).
