| A | 177383 | 165 | Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation | Environmental Compliance for Projects on Forest Service Lands | All applicable NEPA, ESA, and cultural resources consultation will be completed for all contract actions. | $30,000 | 4.59% | 02/01/2018 | 01/31/2019 |
| B | 177414 | 38 | Improve Road for Instream Habitat Benefits | O'hara Creek Road improvement culvert replacement #4 | This project is continuation of a road improvement project started in 2015 to reduce sediment delivery and upgrade undersized and failing tributary culverts along the O'hara Creek. At site # 4, we will replace 2 or more failing undersized 24" culverts with a single 48" culvert set to a more natural stream grade. This is not technically a barrier replacement project due to the high gradient nature of the stream (19%), but will utilize stream simulation design in it's construction to mimic stream grade and substrate above and below the structure allowing better passage of aquatic organisms.
Work element C and D will be completed as a package, assuming subconctract costs come in within budget/engineers estimates.
The Nez Perce Tribe (NPT) and the Nez Perce - Clearwater National Forests (NPCNFs) will work as partners to implement this project. The NPT will subcontract with the NPCNFs through our partnership agreement to administer the construction contract. The NPCNFs is the lead agency and will complete all necessary environmental compliance for all aspects of this project including NEPA, ESA, and cultural resources requirements. The Nez Perce Tribe will assist with the selection of a contractor and inspection of the project. | $225,000 | 34.39% | 02/05/2018 | 10/31/2018 |

This project will replace and undersized 18" culverts with a 24" culvert set to a more natural stream grade. This is not technically a barrier replacement project due to the high gradient nature of the stream, but will utilize stream simulation design in it's construction to mimic stream grade and substrate above and below the structure allowing better passage of aquatic organisms.

| D | 177589 | 38 | Improve Road for Instream Habitat Benefits | O'hara Creek Road improvement culvert replacement #5 | This project is continuation of a road improvement project started in 2015 to reduce sediment delivery and upgrade undersized and failing tributary culverts along the O'hara Creek. This project will replace and undersized 36" culvert with a 72" culvert set to a more natural stream grade. This is not technically a barrier replacement project due to the high gradient nature of the stream, but will utilize stream simulation design in it's construction to mimic stream grade and substrate above and below the structure allowing better passage of aquatic organisms.
Work element D would be implemented with work elements B and C depending on availability of outside funding. Due to their close proximity and need for road closure, these improvements would be completed one effort, saving on mobilization efforts. If outside funding is not secured, culvert 5 will be moved into an out year project to be completed in 2019 or beyond.

| E | 177385 | 29 | Increase Aquatic and/or Floodplain Complexity | Construct Beaver Dam Analogs on Musselshell Creek | Musselshell Creek suffers from chronic, long term sediment aggradation, and high cobble embeddedness. Lower reaches of Musselshell creek are boarded by meadow complexes which on many years suffer from a lowering water table. To encourage scour and transport of fine sediment and raise the water table, we propose installation of several beaver dam analogs. These dam structures will include small post and sapling sized material designed to function during moderate flows to scour pools, redistribute sediment, and improve channel complexity for spawning and rearing habitat along a 0.5 mile stretch of Musselshell Creek. The intent is to mimic the natural conditions created by beaver dam construction and their effects on stream geomorphology and ground water.
These types of structures are also relatively low cost and can be installed by personnel working with minimal equipment and locally available materials. | $28,244 | 4.32% | 02/01/2018 | 09/30/2018 |
| F | 177388 | 186 | Operate and Maintain Habitat/Passage/Structure | Maintain Fence | From 1998 to 2017 fence has been constructed of wooden posts and four-strand barbed or smooth wire. Due to heavy snow loads, annual maintenance is required to maintain a properly functioning fence that protects riparian and stream habitat.
Since the fence maintenance and construction crew is used by the entire watershed division, this project will be completed between the start and end dates, but the exact timing is dependent on other projects within the division.
In some years due to unusually high workload, a fencing contractor may be utilized to assist in fence maintenance. This work will be paid for out of the repair line item. | $40,000 | 6.11% | 02/02/2018 | 09/30/2018 |
| G | 177389 | 115 | Produce Inventory or Assessment | Road Decommissioning Surveys | Data will be collected and an inventory will be completed on roads considered for decommissioning as well as roads with poorly recorded locations and conditions. Data will be collected and an inventory will be completed for stream crossings that may contain culverts that have insufficient hydraulic capacity or are fish passage barriers. The following subwatersheds will be included in this year's inventory: Horse, Meadow, Falls, SOB, and Wash creek watersheds . The road and culvert inventory will follow USFS road survey/assessment and fish passage assessment protocols.
Roads and culverts will be inventoried in both the middle Selway project area in order to determine which roads and culverts have extensive erosion, insufficient hydraulic capacity, and fish passage barriers which result in ongoing and future deleterious impacts to aquatic habitat. | $30,000 | 4.59% | 02/01/2018 | 10/31/2018 |
| H | 177390 | 47 | Plant Vegetation | Riparian Planting | The Lolo Creek watershed has historically experienced significant grazing and road construction which has destroyed riparian areas. Re-vegetation efforts have been ongoing since 2000, and over 23,000 trees have been planted to date. Approximately 1200 native riparian trees and shrubs will be planted in 2018. | $30,000 | 4.59% | 02/01/2018 | 10/31/2018 |
| I | 177393 | 199 | Remove Vegetation | Treat Exotic Invasive Species | The USFS Environmental Assessment completed in 2004 identifies the Musselshell Meadows as a highly used, culturally sensitive area of particular concern to the Nez Perce Tribe. During the 2007 field season, NPT completed a non-native, invasive plant inventory in Musselshell Meadows which was utilized to develop a treatment plan for the highest priority areas of the 190 acre meadow area and surrounding areas. The focus will include corridors of invasion, such as roads, trails, and disturbed areas.
The Nez Perce Tribe will collaborate with the Nez Perce - Clearwater National Forests (NPCNFs) who will implement the invasive plant treatment. The Nez Perce Tribe will assist in inventory, planning, contractor selection, technical oversight, and the final inspection. No BPA funds will be used for the purchase or application of herbicides. | $20,000 | 3.06% | 02/01/2018 | 10/31/2018 |
| J | 177394 | 119 | Manage and Administer Projects | Manage Projects and Administrative duties | Project management includes coordinating project activities, attending meetings and workshops, seeking additional funding, prioritizing and scheduling projects, employee supervision, preparing statements of work, managing budgets, and completing reports. Training will be competed as needed for key personnel to maintain best management practices.
NPT personnel will also participate in US Forest Service Level 1 coordination meetings, other watershed-wide resource planning efforts, and the review and assessment of resource project proposals in the watershed.
The Nez Perce Tribe, BPA, and the Nez Perce - Clearwater National Forests (NPCNFs) have been partners in watershed restoration since 1996, which includes sharing funds and resources to complete projects. Each year, project specifics are captured in an agreement that is signed by all parties. | $40,000 | 6.11% | 02/01/2018 | 01/31/2019 |
