Participation in these other transport activities is documented in the project monthly and annual reports. Approximately 200 spring Chinook adults returning to the Umatilla River may be collected and held at the South Fork Walla Walla facility to be outplanted into the Walla Walla Basin in August. This work will be done in collaboration with the Umatilla Hatchery Satellite Facilities O&M project 1983-435-00. Reporting for this work will be done under the subject contract (project 1988-022-00). ODFW as part of this project assists with the collection and transportation as required. | $22,371 | 4.50% | 01/01/2024 | 12/31/2024 |
| J | 241066 | 66 | Trap/Collect/Hold/Transport Fish - Hatchery | Provide broodstock for artificial production program-Umatilla Basin | The project collects broodstock (fall Chinook, spring Chinook, summer steelhead and Coho) over the course of the project year for the artificial production programs. ODFW as part of this project assists with the collection and transportation of broodstock. | $52,286 | 10.52% | 01/01/2024 | 12/31/2024 |
| K | 241067 | 28 | Trap and Haul | Transport of Upstream And Downstream Migrants-Umatilla Basin | The project operates the lower Umatilla River trapping facilities (Three Mile Falls Dam and Westland trapping facility) in order to collect broodstock and transport salmonid migratory life stages around passage barriers. The project also transports broodstock to program holding facilities. The project provides dates of trap operation and migrant trap and haul data. Three Miles Falls Dam is the major collection point for all adults returning to the Umatilla River. The main collection facility is located on the east bank and includes a holding pond, fish handling and sorting complex. Captured adults to be transported are directed to transport tanks for hauling. The east bank facility is manned 24 hours a day during the adult capture season. Permanent, on site housing is provided for watch personnel. The west bank at Three Miles Falls Dam does have an adult collection facility and a juvenile collection facility operated by the ODFW outmigration monitoring and evaluation project. However, the west bank at Three Mile falls Dam does not have the adult sorting capabilities. The west bank juvenile collection facility was designed as a sampling and evaluation station rather than a production trapping facility. The trap can be used for sampling during bypass periods but is ineffective for trapping and hauling anything but small numbers of fish. Because of the insufficient trapping capabilities at the site, the operation of the facility is closely coordinated with the Westland facility in order to minimize the number of fish captured at Three Miles Falls Dam. The Westland Canal juvenile facility is the major collection point for out-migrating juvenile salmonids. It is intended to be operated whenever Westland Canal is delivering water. During periods of inadequate flow, the facility is designed to trap fish, separate juveniles from adults, and direct them to their respective holding units. Juveniles and kelts can then be loaded onto trucks or trailers for transport downstream. Information collected at Westland include dates of both canal operation and facility operational modes. Because the majority of the fish are now bypassed at Westland juvenile facility rather than trapped, the facility is no longer manned on a 24 hour basis. | $107,196 | 21.57% | 01/01/2024 | 12/31/2024 |
| L | 241070 | 28 | Trap and Haul | Coordinate and complete salvage operations-Walla Walla Basin | Provide safe adult and juvenile transportation assistance for other basin project efforts as needed. Participation in these other transport activities is documented in the project monthly and annual reports. ODFW as part of this project (subcontractor under this contract) will assist with transportation needs with all adult and juvenile related activities. | $6,181 | 1.24% | 01/01/2024 | 12/31/2024 |
| M | 241072 | 28 | Trap and Haul | Salvage and Rescue Actions for Low Flow Emergency Walla Walla River Basin | Gardena Farms Diversion Dam is located approximately three miles downstream of the Oregon/Washington state line and below the confluence of Yellowhawk Creek. There is a vertical slot fish ladder at this site with provisions for adding trapping equipment. The intent of operating the trap is to capture and haul upstream migrating bull trout and salmon/steelhead around the state line low flow reach during periods in which passage conditions are not conducive to allow unimpeded volitional migration. The trap will only be operated during low flow emergency conditions. CTUIR will be the primary operators of the trap and will coordinate with GFID with the installation of the trap. | $0 | 0.00% | 01/01/2024 | 12/31/2024 |
| N | 241061 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | Adult Return and Transport Data-Umatilla Basin | Collection of adult return data for anadromous fish and bull trout sampled at Three Mile Falls Dam. ODFW as part of this project assists with the collection of all trap and haul data collected at Three Mile Falls Dam. In addition, CTUIR will post and update daily return totals on the bulletin board at the Three Mile Falls Dam east bank adult facility. Enumeration of all upstream migrant adults at Three Mile Falls Dam is either done by handling and sorting or by video monitoring. Data collected during adult trapping operations includes date, number of fish trapped, species, age and sex composition, as well as marks and disposition. Observations are also made of marine mammal damage, net marks, mechanical damage, and general fish condition. In addition, fork length and snouts are collected from a percentage of the fish with coded wire tags (CWT). During volitional migration periods, enumeration will occur by video camera. Data collected during volitional migration includes date, species, and number of fish moving upstream and downstream, jack or adult salmon, and wild or hatchery steelhead. General observations will be made such as time of movement and other species observed. Trap and haul operations are implemented during low flow periods which generally occurs from April through July. During low flow periods, salmon and steelhead are hauled upriver and released. Release locations are based on species composition, fisheries, and river conditions. Trap and haul activities also include the transportation of both salmon and steelhead to hatcheries for brood and outplanting. Data collected for each transport includes date, disposition, release location, transport unit, number and species hauled, pounds and species hauled (if applicable), and an estimate of mortality. Mortalities that occur during hauling operations are reported on the monthly and quarterly status reports. | $59,645 | 12.00% | 01/01/2024 | 12/31/2024 |
| O | 241073 | 174 | Produce Plan | Fish Passage Annual Operating Plan (AOP)-Walla Walla Basin | The contract manager will provide input for the development of the AOP. The annual fish passage operations plan coordinates fish passage operations at the various diversions including Garden City/Lowden 2 Canal, Gardena Farms Canal, Nursery Bridge Dam, Little Walla Walla River and Eastside Ditch. Other diversion sites will be incorporated into the AOP as needed. The intent is to define the primary operational criteria at these sites prior to the next season to minimize in-season questions and confusion. A draft AOP is sent out to the involved irrigation districts and the BPA COR in the late summer for comment and the final AOP for the upcoming year is completed by September and distributed to the involved parties. | $4,452 | 0.90% | 01/01/2024 | 12/31/2024 |
