| I | 111443 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Conduct mainstem off-channel effectiveness monitoring as part of Entiat IMW | The USFWS MCRFRO will conduct seasonal quantitative biological evaluations of existing and proposed off-channel habitats within the Entiat River. The proposed actions conform to the habitat implementation strategy and study objectives outlined within the Entiat River IMW study design. This study will monitor habitat and associated fish use in off-channel habitat as defined as watered aquatic habitat outside of the main channel. USFWS will use a suite of tools consisting of seasonal mark-recapture events using PIT tags and PIT tag interrogation sites. This fish monitoring will be supported by habitat and macroinvertebrate monitoring carried out by Terraqua under a separate contract. The mark-recapture sampling, focused on juvenile steelhead and Chinook salmon, will be conducted within a time frame similar to main-channel mark-recapture sampling periods (winter and summer) with the addition of a fall sampling period as needed at selected sites. In addition, the use of instream PIT tag detection antennas will generate survival and movement data.
This sampling design will produce sufficient data to determine species composition, abundance, and site use patterns. Estimates of steelhead age composition, growth, and survival estimates will be dependent upon sufficient numbers of fish captured and PIT tagged during seasonal mark-recapture events. We anticipate high capture efficiencies during sampling periods based on previous experience and the ability to utilize block netting within off-channel sites. Ultimately, the likelihood of obtaining age, growth, and survival estimates will be dependent upon the number of fish utilizing these specific habitats. We will further investigate the potential use of mobile wand antennas to increase resighting occasions if proven necessary.
At newly constructed habitat, the time frame for basic biological responses is expected to be short (seasonal); however, longer monitoring periods will be required to evaluate a biological response over time (annual). The long-term performance of off-channel habitats is an important monitoring consideration as natural processes may alter biological benefits over time. To better address the long-term biological response resident species such as whitefish and sculpin will be included in study considerations. These resident fish, if encountered in sufficient numbers, may prove useful in the long-term monitoring of these sites. The MCRFRO will provide the PIT tags for these fish species. For planning purposes we will assume that off-channel habitat monitoring will be conducted for the duration of the Entiat River IMW study. | $65,249 | 10.66% | 02/01/2013 | 12/31/2013 |

| K | 111445 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | 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 USFWS 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. | $33,798 | 5.52% | 02/01/2013 | 10/31/2013 |

| O | 113138 | 141 | Produce Other Reports | Update ISEMP Lessons Learned Synthesis Report | Since its inception in 2003, reporting for Project #2003-017 has been accomplished through reports prepared by individual contractors, an annual program-wide (project-wide) capstone report that collates the reports from each ISEMP pilot subbasin and the data management team, or through BiOp reporting. Also, in 2006 ISEMP produced the first Three-Year Review document, which provided a retrospective of the work that had occurred over the three years since ISEMP's inception through 2006. (http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/research/divisions/cbd/mathbio/isemp/documents.cfm). In 2011 BPA managers (and other entities) expressed the need to have a lessons learned synthesis report covering the entire period of the program. This synthesis report reviewed the relevant F&W Program management questions and RPAs that ISEMP was initiated to help answer.
ISEMP will update the lessons learned synthesis report for FY13 by compiling the work of all ISEMP contractors (from each of the three pilot subbasins and the umbrella group), describing ISEMP's progress in FY13 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.
The 2013 ISEMP Lessons Learned report will consist only of an update to progress and lessons learned that occurred between reporting points (e.g., since last released project-level report). Descriptions of progress and lessons learned will only be included in the ISEMP Lessons Learned Report if not included in the RM&E and RPA reporting. | $0 | 0.00% | 11/01/2013 | 01/31/2014 |
