| A | 101321 | 185 | Produce CBFish Status Report | Periodic Status Reports for BPA | 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. | $500 | 0.97% | 10/01/2012 | 05/31/2013 |
| B | 101322 | 165 | Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation | Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation as requested | Provide information and support to BPA for environmental compliance review. | $100 | 0.19% | 06/01/2012 | 05/31/2013 |
| C | 101323 | 119 | Manage and Administer Projects | Manage Project | Activities include invoicing, SOW preparation, coordination with other agencies on salmon habitat enhancement and restoration; administering cost-share funds for upland erosion and sediment control, no-till and direct seeding (fencing, vegetation plantings, and offsite water development practices will be completed under existing DOE grants); coordination of activities to keep people involved and show the accomplishments of projects. | $48,163 | 93.77% | 08/25/2012 | 05/31/2013 |
| D | 101324 | 55 | Erosion and Sedimentation Control | Cost-share for upland erosion and sedimentation control | With normal weather patterns, this work should be implemented during the spring and fall. | $0 | 0.00% | 06/01/2012 | 05/31/2013 |
| E | 101325 | 48 | Practice No-till and Conservation Tillage Systems | Cost-share for direct seed planting practices; demonstrate weedseeker & auto steer technology | Cost share for no-till direct seed will be given to landowners/operators not meeting their limitation on cost-share for these practices (three crop years) with priority given to those that have never tried no-till direct seeding in the past. Use practices during spring and fall planting seasons.
No-till seeding programs include a rotation in which previously planted fields are in chemical-fallow. Alternative technologies can reduce the use of pesticides by 80% or more on the chemical fallow rotation of no-till/direct seeding programs. The District will provide information about alternative practices to reduce the use of chemicals, including demonstration of the weed-seeker sprayer technology (owned by the District). | $0 | 0.00% | 06/01/2012 | 05/31/2013 |
| F | 101328 | 34 | Develop Alternative Water Source | Develop springs and other off-stream water sources | Develop new springs and improve existing springs and wells to provide off stream watering sources for livestock to eliminate or reduce livestock impact on the water quality of our streams. | $0 | 0.00% | 06/01/2012 | 05/31/2013 |
| G | 101329 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Collect water quality data and analyze in local lab | Data collected by local district is being used to demonstrate the effectiveness of upland and riparian practices in improving water quality and reducing the sedimentation in the stream.
Only one ISCO is running at the present time. The unit at Columbia Center was removed because of bridge replacement. Before re installation, the District should consult with the BPA COTR about a longer-term strategy and protocol for continued monitoring -- that could entail relinquishing responsibility for monitoring sites, and transitioning responsibility for protocols and data gathering to regional monitoring entities. | $0 | 0.00% | 06/01/2012 | 05/31/2013 |
| H | 101331 | 114 | Identify and Select Projects | Produce HD video with GPS coordinates of the Pataha | In order to find problem areas, the District plans to fly the length of the Pataha (except the very headwaters on USFS land), taking high definition video to get a really good picture of the conditions. The flyover is time sensitive because we need to do it before the foliage becomes too dense and covers the stream.
Poor weather conditions and schedule conflicts have delayed this work but we expect to get it done before June 1, 2012 (i.e., before this contract begins). Under this contract, we intend to review and analyze the video to find problem areas. We will then work with landowners to rectify any maintenance needs and/or apply for SRFB grants for larger projects.
Recently, the Regional Technical Team upgraded the Lower Tucannon (below the Pataha) to a major spawning area (MSA) because the temperature is lower and the embeddedness has been reduced to where Chinook are now using this portion of the river. After discussing this determination with them and the fact that this happened because of our sediment reduction and habitat improvement efforts over the years in the Pataha, they also designated the Pataha as an MSA. This will have the effect of making it easier to obtain Salmon Recovery Funding Board dollars for habitat projects in the Pataha.
WDFW has installed a fish trap in the Pataha about a mile upstream from the confluence with the Tucannon and have captured 35 fish: 19 wild steelhead, 15 hatchery, and one bull trout as of March 15th, 2011. The SRSRB has indicated interest in reviewing projects that will continue to improve fish habitat within the Pataha Watershed and not just to improve its effect on the Tucannon.
This work is an important piece of improving the riparian habitat in the Pataha Watershed. The Pataha Watershed has approximately 50% located in a narrow, deeply incised riparian area with no flood plain. This area is highly susceptible to debris jams and other factors that limit access by steelhead. A majority of these areas are basically inaccessible unless by foot and assessment using that process would require many man hours to complete. This work element may become a yearly task in order to assess and analyze, in an effective and economical way, the yearly changes in conditions of the Pataha drainage. | $1,000 | 1.95% | 06/01/2012 | 05/31/2013 |
| I | 101332 | 99 | Outreach and Education | Upkeep of website, weather station, school aquarium | The District's outreach activities include newsletters and a website (http://www.pomeroycd.com/). Two to four newsletters are expected to be produced each year, usually sent to about 350 - 500 recipients (and the BPA COTR). Newsletters are distributed to provide landowners with information about activities taking place in the watershed, upcoming events, conservation practices, cost-share opportunities, and other important topics.
We also provide funds for the school to maintain an aquarium to teach kids about local fish issues. We maintain a weather station and post weather information on our website (http://www.pomeroycd.com/WeatherStation.html). | $1,000 | 1.95% | 06/01/2012 | 05/31/2013 |
| J | 101330 | 132 | Produce Progress (Annual) Report | Produce and submit annual report to BPA for Jan-Dec 2012 | Prepare and submit draft and then final annual report to BPA COTR. | $600 | 1.17% | 12/01/2012 | 04/15/2013 |
