C | 160341 | 165 | Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation | Verify that 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. | $14,500 | 3.54% | 09/01/2016 | 08/31/2017 |
D | 160342 | 99 | Outreach and Education | General Program Outreach and Youth Education Coordination | Outreach to the general public and landowners will take place to distribute information 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, community meetings, field tours, newsletters and websites.
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.
Approximately 250 students participate in the annual Conservation Awareness Days sponsored and classroom presentations by Latah SWCD staff. | $14,000 | 3.41% | 09/01/2016 | 08/31/2017 |
E | 160343 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Maintain Watershed Monitoring Program | This WE will address the implementation of the monitoring components outlined in the Latah SWCD Monitoring Plan and Procedures.
In addition, the stream gage will be maintained by USGS at the mouth of the Potlatch River through contract. The gage will be maintained by monthly visits from USGS personnel. It will be checked for correct calibration and data will be uploaded at the same time. The USGS station at the mouth of the Potlatch River collects flow data (measured in cubic feet per second). The information is shared with state and federal conservation agencies working on habitat restoration and water quality improvements.
A variety of monitoring programs are highlighted within the milestones. Many of the programs are maintained through the entire contract period (e.g., USGS Gaging Station) and others have a fall 2016 element and a spring/summer 2017 element. Hence, these monitoring programs will also have a start and end date that represent the entire contract period. | $45,000 | 10.98% | 09/01/2016 | 08/31/2017 |
F | 160344 | 186 | Operate and Maintain Habitat/Passage/Structure | Operate and Maintain Habitat/Passage/Structures | Operation and maintenance of habitat features including, but not limited to, fences, instream structures, passage facilities, sediment control structures, and off-site water developments. Monitoring points will be established at all construction sites, and inspection visits will be conducted following seasonal and/or unexpected high flow events. Failures, damage, and other deficiencies of structural performances will be repaired, replaced or reinforced to insure desired and planned function.
The follow up and maintenance is necessary to legitimize the funding and functionality of the structures installed; increase public awareness and confidence in anadromous fish stream restoration efforts; and accentuate the image and responsibilities of participating agencies commitment to the present and future health of the fisheries. Locations where this work element will be utilized include, but are not limited to: Corral Creek, Bear Creek, and East Fork Potlatch River.
Under this work element, funding will be used to complete and maintain, as needed, habitat and erosion control structures constructed under previous BPA contracts associated with projects #2002-061-00 and or #2008-604-00. | $5,000 | 1.22% | 09/01/2016 | 08/31/2017 |
G | 160345 | 191 | Watershed Coordination | Participate in Clearwater Subbasin coordination meetings | Participate in regional watershed coordination meetings addressing habitat restoration, water quality and land management actions that may affect steelhead habitat protection and/or restoration efforts within the area. | $2,500 | 0.61% | 09/01/2016 | 08/31/2017 |
H | 160346 | 114 | Identify and Select Projects | Project Site Reviews, Conservation Planning/Design, and Proposal Development | Work with landowners identified through outreach and education efforts to review potential sites for riparian and stream habitat improvement projects. Outreach efforts, consultation, and site evaluations will be carried out in concert wit 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 restoration projects will be defined and protection strategies to benefit steelhead habitat via direct, voluntary efforts on both private and public lands will be identified.
Landowner initial conservation concept plans will be developed for sites that show a strong potential for habitat improvements. When appropriate, formal funding proposals will be developed for private, county, state and federal funding entities. | $95,000 | 23.17% | 09/01/2016 | 08/31/2017 |
I | 160347 | 198 | Maintain Vegetation | Replant and Maintain Riparian Plantings - Potlatch River | 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. Latah SWCD 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 5,000 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 10 miles of stream bank will be maintained across 6-12 individual sites. Several of the maintained sites were initiated under project # 2008-604-00. | $170,000 | 41.46% | 09/01/2016 | 08/31/2017 |
J | 160348 | 174 | Produce Plan | Revise Potlatch River Watershed Restoration Plan | Revise the Potlatch River Watershed Restoration Plan as new information is developed through watershed surveys, landowner comments, development of restoration strategies and changing public policy. The Plan will be treated as a working "living document" with revisions throughout the year as new data is secured and analyzed. | $2,500 | 0.61% | 09/01/2016 | 08/31/2017 |
K | 160349 | 99 | 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 as well as improved agricultural practices to minimize sedimentation and nutrient loading to local streams.
Latah SWCD will have direct interactions with landowners. Following these interactions, initial site reviews will be undertaken and conservation plans will be developed.
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. | $2,500 | 0.61% | 09/01/2016 | 08/31/2017 |
L | 160350 | 132 | Produce Progress (Annual) Report | Submit Progress Report for the period 9.1.15 thru 8.31.16 | The progress report summarizes the project goals, objectives, hypotheses, completed and uncompleted deliverables, problems encountered, lessons learned, and long-term planning. Examples of long-term planning include future improvements, new directions, or level of effort for contract implementation, including any ramping up or ramping down of contract components or of the project as a whole. Date range 9.1.15 thru 8.31.16 will be agreed upon by the COTR and the contractor. This may or may not coincide with the contract period. For an ongoing project, a progress report covering a contract period may be submitted under the subsequent contract, if approved by the COTR.
Progress reports must conform to BPA guidelines. See the ''formatting guidelines'' link at the Technical Reports and Publications page: https://www.cbfish.org/Help.mvc/GuidanceDocuments.
