| B | 142220 | 165 | Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation | Verify all NEPA Environmental Compliance has been completed | Submit SOW and supporting documents as needed for BPA's environmental planning and compliance group to determine environmental compliance status. Submit all information necessary for BPA to provide environmental clearance for these projects. | $27,143 | 4.38% | 09/20/2014 | 08/31/2015 |
| C | 142221 | 99 | Outreach and Education | Outreach and Education/Solicit Landowner Participation | Landowner interactions will take place to review interest regarding the implementation of steelhead habitat restoration and/or protection strategies through a variety of formats that may include, but not be limited to, one-on-one discussions, focus groups, community meetings, and websites,
Latah SWCD will have direct interactions with approximately 20 landowners. Following these interactions, approximately 10 site reviews will be undertaken as outlined in WE 114 (Identify and Select Projects) and approximately 3 conservation plans will be developed as outlined in WE 174 (Produce Plan).
Conservation implementation recommendations from these interactions may be incorporated into revisions of the Potlatch River Watershed Management Plan and, when appropriate, the Latah SWCD's 5-year Resource Conservation Plan. | $7,755 | 1.25% | 09/20/2014 | 08/31/2015 |
| D | 142222 | 174 | Produce Plan | Develop Initial Conservation Plans | The success of this WE is determined by landowner interest. The Latah SWCD implements habitat protection, restoration, and/or enhancement on private lands through the development of individual conservation plans with associated binding contracts between the landowner and/or land user and the conservation district. The purpose is to protect and/or restore critical steelhead habitat within those areas identified in the Potlatch River Watershed Management Plan.
The Latah SWCD, in consultation with affected landowners, land users and conservation agencies, will produce initial conservation plans designed to provide landowners enough information to elevate their degree of interest towards the implementation of select steelhead habitat protection and/or restoration strategies. Each plan will be developed in concert with supplemental information such as limiting factors, engineering designs and cost estimates. This will allow landowners to better view the extent to which they wish to both commit themselves to a select set of practices.
Landowners who confirm they want one of the proposed habitat improvement project options will then have the initial conservation plans fine-tuned and LSWCD will seek funding to implement the conservation practices outlined in their conservation plans. | $11,633 | 1.88% | 09/20/2014 | 08/31/2015 |
| E | 142223 | 114 | Identify and Select Projects | Identify and Review Potential Restoration Sites | Work with landowners identified through WE 99 (Outreach and Education) to identify and review potential sites for riparian and stream habitat improvement projects in association with Idaho/BPA Accord funding. Outreach efforts, consultation, and site evaluations will be carried out in concert with the Potlatch River Watershed Management Plan.
Efforts will be made to link an individual's objectives with a prioritized set of restoration strategies, while heightening overall public awareness of the various means towards restoring a robust, self-sustaining steelhead population. Priority restorations will be defined and protection strategies to benefit steelhead habitat via direct, voluntary efforts on both private and public lands for steelhead restoration will be identified.
Conservation plans (WE 174 - Develop Initial Conservation Plans) will be developed for landowners on properties that show a strong potential for habitat improvements. | $65,918 | 10.64% | 09/20/2014 | 08/31/2015 |

| I | 142227 | 30 | Realign, Connect, and/or Create Channel | Riparian/Meadow Restoration - Upper Corral Creek/USFS - Phase I | Channel realignment and meadow restoration will take place within a degraded meadow system of Corral Creek. The meadow is located on ground managed by the US Forest Service. Funding for the engineering and planning was secured from the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) managed by the Idaho Office of Species Conservation (IOSC). The majority of the implementation funding for this project was also secured through the PCSRF.
This project will take several years to complete. Funding under this contract, in combination with funds secured through the PCSRF, will be used to initiate construction on the site during the summer months of 2015. Construction will continue in the fall of 2015 and the summer of 2016 through the next contract associated with Project 2008-604-00. | $155,101 | 25.03% | 09/20/2014 | 08/31/2015 |
| J | 142228 | 30 | Realign, Connect, and/or Create Channel | Riparian Restoration - Big Bear Creek/IDL | This work element, in coordination with the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL), will assess riparian habitat conditions on private lands within a select area of the Big Bear Creek watershed. After the assessments have been completed, riparian habitat restoration plans will be developed and implemented within this watershed.
Funding within this work element will be used by the Latah SWCD and the IDL as partial matching funds for approximately $190,000 in additional planning and implementation funding through the Western Competitive Grant program of State and Private Forestry (S&PF) organization of the US Forest Service.
This work element simultaneously implements the habitat restoration priorities within the Potlatch River Watershed Management Plan and the State of Idaho's Statewide Forest Resource Strategy (SFRS). See http://www.idl.idaho.gov/bureau/ForestAssist/sfrs_index.html.

| Q | 143326 | 198 | Maintain Vegetation | Replant and Maintain Riparian Plantings | Significant riparian and upland planting have taken place throughout Corral Creek and other watersheds in the Potlatch River system over the past several years. Many of these planting have been reviewed, approved, and funded by BPA under the Latah SWCD Project #2002-061-00 and #2008-604-00.
The planting sites previously approved under 2002-061-00 and/or 2008-604-00 will be maintained through this contract if additional resources are needed beyond those allocated to this similar work element outlined in contracts associated with Project #2008-604-00.
All plants and materials will be accessed to the various planting sites via 4x4 truck and/or ATV. Contractor will evaluate for survivability/mortality rates, and determine if a replanting is necessary. If necessary, these areas will be replanted and existing plants will be maintained to assure survivability.
Approximately 2,500 plants have been budgeted for replanting these various sites. Due to contract budget limitations, additional planting stock will be purchased with alternative state and federal funds with the majority of the planting labor provided through this contract. Approximately 4 miles of stream bank will be maintained.
This WE expands the work outlined within a similar WE in contract #66457. | $15,510 | 2.50% | 03/01/2015 | 08/31/2015 |
