| G | 165533 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | ODFW Rotary Screw Trap Sampling & Data Collection Activities for Juvenile Salmonid Migrants | Installation operation and maintenance of a rotary screw trap. Milestones described in this work element provide the data needed to understand important life functions associated with early life history of spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead of the Grande Ronde River and Imnaha River basins. In this investigation we operate rotary screw traps to quantify and characterize migratory patterns and survival of migrants of both species. Traps will be operated at Catherine Creek (rkm 32), Upper Grande Ronde River (rkm 299), Grande Ronde River (rkm 162), Lostine River (rkm 3), and Minam River (rkm 0.4)). In this performance period we will collect spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead data that represent multiple migration years. Specifically, fish collected in spring 2017 will primarily migrate to the ocean in spring 2017, whereas most fish collected in the fall of 2017 will primarily migrate to the ocean in spring of 2018. Therefore, fish collected in fall during the FY 2016 performance period will be analyzed along with the fish collected in spring during this performance period, and likewise fish collected in fall during this performance period will be analyzed along with the fish collected during spring of the FY 2018 performance period. Given the diversity of summer steelhead early life history strategies, data for individual migration years may include small proportions of fish collected during as many as three past and or future performance periods, and potentially could be more. Data collected under this work element will be analyzed under Work Elements M (abundance estimates, age of steelhead from scales, migration timing) and N (survival estimates from tagging to Lower Granite Dam). ODFW negotiated a 10-year access agreement with two landowners on the Lostine River to allow ODFW to operate and maintain a rotary screw trap on the Lostine River. The agreement was signed in August 2014 and an annual payment is due to the landowners in September of each year, unless the agreement is terminated by the landowner or ODFW. | $320,629 | 26.07% | 02/01/2017 | 01/31/2018 |

Fish collected will be PIT tagged (Work Element K) and released in each stream. Each tagged fish will be anesthetized, length and weight recorded, and allowed to recover prior to being released at or near the location of capture. We will tag up to 1,000 fish from each location.
This work element will require travel (camping) and transportation (chartered aircraft and/or horse packing) for field crew and activities. | $137,412 | 11.17% | 02/01/2017 | 01/31/2018 |

| J | 165534 | 158 | Mark/Tag Animals | PIT-Tagging & Marking Grande Ronde River Juvenile Spring Chinook Salmon | PIT tagging and marking are integral parts of this investigation in the Grande Ronde for Spring Chinook, and are required to fulfill work elements: Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data (157); Transfer/Consolidate Regionally Standardized Data (159); Analyze/interpret data (162); Produce Annual Report (132). PIT tags are used to monitor abundance, survival and relative success of both spring Chinook salmon. In addition to our investigation, tagging and marking of these fish provides valuable information for research and management through all life stages. We will require 13,400 PIT tags to fulfill the five milestones described in this work element. In this Statement of Work (SOW) we will tag spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead that will migrate to the ocean or be detected across multiple migration years. For example, migrants tagged in spring 2017 will migrate to the ocean in spring 2017, whereas the migrants tagged in the fall of 2017 will not migrate to the ocean until spring of 2018. Therefore, fish tagged in summer, fall, and winter under the FY 2016 SOW will be analyzed along with the fish tagged in spring under this SOW, and likewise fish tagged during summer, fall, and winter under this SOW will be analyzed along with the fish tagged in spring under the FY 2018 SOW. Given the diversity of summer steelhead emigration tactics, tagged fish may include small proportions of fish tagged during as many as three past and/or future SOW's.
• PIT-tag approximately 600 naturally produced spring Chinook salmon migrants from each of our study streams as they emigrate from winter rearing areas above trapping locations in Catherine Creek, upper Grande Ronde River, Lostine River, and the Minam River and we will PIT-tag approximately 800 naturally produced spring Chinook migrants captured in our Grande Ronde River trap at Elgin during spring 2017 (migration year 2017). We will PIT tag up to 3,200 spring Chinook salmon during spring. • PIT-tag 1,000 natural spring Chinook salmon in each of five streams (Catherine Creek, upper Grande Ronde, Lostine, Minam and Imnaha rivers) captured rearing in areas above trapping locations and 1,000 natural spring Chinook salmon rearing in lower Catherine Creek during summer 2017 (migration year 2018).

• During fall, PIT tag approximately 600 naturally produced spring Chinook salmon migrants from each of our study streams (Catherine Creek, upper Grande Ronde River, Lostine River, and Minam River) as they emigrate to winter rearing areas below trapping locations during fall 2017 (migration year 2018). PIT-tag up to 2,400 spring Chinook salmon during fall. • PIT-tag up to 600 natural spring Chinook salmon captured rearing in areas above trapping locations in each of three streams (Catherine Creek, upper Grande Ronde River, and Lostine River) during winter 2016-17 (migration year 2017). PIT-tag up to 1,800 natural spring Chinook salmon during winter.
• Estimates of trap efficiency during trapping operations. We will PIT tag, and/or partial fin clip, enough fish to ensure recapture of at least 10 spring Chinook salmon and 10 summer steelhead each week. During periods of low migration activity, recaptures collected during subsequent weeks of the year will be combined until at least 10 tagged/marked fish recaptures are recovered before estimating trap efficiency during that period. | $0 | 0.00% | 02/01/2017 | 01/31/2018 |

PIT tags are used to monitor abundance, survival and relative success of summer steelhead. In addition to our investigation, tagging and marking of these fish provides valuable information for research and management through all life stages. We will require 5,600 PIT tags to fulfill the five milestones described in this work element. In this Statement of Work (SOW) we will tag spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead that will migrate to the ocean or be detected across multiple migration years. For example, migrants tagged in spring 2017 will migrate to the ocean in spring 2017, whereas the migrants tagged in the fall of 2017 will not migrate to the ocean until spring of 2018.

Migration timing to Lower Granite Dam of fish tagged in summer, fall, winter and spring, under Work Element K: Mark/Tag Fish, will be analyzed and compared by time of tagging, species and migratory year. In this performance period we will tag spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead that will migrate to the ocean or be detected across multiple migration years. For example, migrants tagged in spring 2017 will migrate to the ocean in spring 2017, whereas the migrants tagged in the fall of 2017 will not migrate to the ocean until spring of 2018. Therefore, fish tagged in summer, fall, and winter during the FY 2016 performance period will be analyzed along with the fish tagged in spring during this performance period, and likewise fish tagged in summer, fall, and winter during this performance period will be analyzed along with the fish tagged during the FY 2018 performance period.

| L | 165537 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | ODFW Survival & Relative Success of Juvenile Salmonids of the Grande Ronde and Imnaha Subbasins | Estimates of survival will be generated using PIT tag detection information for both spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead, and will cover important early life stages as well as relative success of fish that emigrate early (fall) and late (spring) from study streams of the Grande Ronde and Imnaha river basins. Estimates of survival of summer parr to Lower Granite Dam, egg to migrant survival, overwinter survival and relative success of juvenile spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead that emigrated early (fall) and late (spring) from the study streams of Catherine Creek, upper Grande Ronde River, Lostine River, and Minam River during migration year 2017.
Specific Assessments Include:
• Estimate survival to Lower Granite Dam of spring Chinook salmon parr tagged in summer from five natural populations in the Grande Ronde River and Imnaha River subbasins using the SURPH (Survival Under Proportional Hazards) program developed by University of Washington.
• Estimate relative success of fall and spring migrant life history strategies of spring Chinook salmon and steelhead, derived by comparing survival probabilities of fall migrants to spring migrants in each of the study streams.
• Estimate Viable Salmonid Population (VSP) indicator, smolts from tributary per spawner, for spring Chinook salmon in Catherine Creek, Upper Grande Ronde River, Minam River, and Lostine River populations.
• Estimate survival from egg to migrant using the migrant abundance estimates combined with adult escapement and fecundity data obtained from Lower Snake River Compensation Plan - Oregon Evaluation Program for spring Chinook salmon in each of the study streams.
• Estimate overwinter survival of spring Chinook salmon in Catherine Creek, upper Grande Ronde River, and Lostine River using SURPH program. Overwinter survival estimates will be derived by comparing survival probabilities of winter residents to spring migrants in the study streams. | $100,769 | 8.19% | 02/01/2017 | 01/31/2018 |
| N | 165538 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | Egg to Migrant Survival Relative to the Stream Health & Life History Patterns of Chinook Salmon | The Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds (OPSW) has assembled techniques for monitoring stream health. This investigation will utilize methods described by OPSW to compare spring Chinook salmon survival from egg to migrant to stream health metrics (water temperature and flow) collected in previous years in each of four study streams.
• Characterization of stream health variables for each of our study streams from data collected in previous years. Characterize stream flow and water temperature in Catherine Creek, upper Grande Ronde River, Lostine River, and Minam River from data collected in previous years. Data will be used to generate a metric of stream health for each of the study streams. Metrics will compiled by migratory year in order to maintain biological relevance.

| P | 165540 | 157 | Collect/Generate/Validate Field and Lab Data | ODFW Grande Ronde Steelhead Spawner Surveys | Spawning ground surveys will be conducted to estimate adult steelhead escapement to Grande Ronde River populations. These surveys will provide the data needed to estimate adult steelhead escapement, improve our understanding of habitat utilization, and contribute to productivity and survival estimates for these populations. Adult steelhead redd surveys will be conducted March 1 - June 30 annually based on standard ODFW methods (https://www.monitoringmethods.org/Protocol/Details/757) which have been incorporated into the Salmonid Field Protocols Handbook. 30 sites will be selected for each of the two populations surveyed, and are visited every two weeks throughout the season to quantify the cumulative redd count at each site. Each survey reach will be 2 kilometers in length. Surveyors will sample upstream from the downstream end of each survey reach. Each surveyor counts live fish and determines the fin-mark status of all live fish through observations. All redds are counted and flagged. We will provide annual escapement estimates for the Upper Grande Ronde steelhead population.
Objectives for this work:
1.Determine if restoration actions increase steelhead survival and productivity at the population and watershed scale.
2.Monitor the status and trend of the current and historically utilized steelhead habitat in the Grande Ronde River Subbasin.
3.Monitor the status and trend of the spatial structure of adult steelhead in the Grande Ronde River Subbasin.
4.Monitor the status and trends of the abundance and productivity of naturally produced steelhead.
5.Monitor the status and trends of the diversity of naturally produced steelhead.
6.Monitor the status and trends of the survival of naturally produced steelhead. | $109,881 | 8.93% | 02/01/2017 | 01/31/2018 |
| Q | 165541 | 162 | Analyze/Interpret Data | ODFW Grande Ronde Assessment of Abundance of Steelhead Spawners at the Population Level | ODFW will provide annual escapement estimates for the Grande Ronde Upper Mainstem steelhead population. Overall redd density (RD) is estimated by summing observations of individual survey sites (i) as: RD = sum ri/sum di where ri is the number of unique redds observed at site i, di is the distance surveyed (km) at site i. The total number of redds (RT) occurring throughout the basin is estimated by: RT = RD * (du) where du is the total kilometers available to steelhead for spawning and rearing (1178 km). Steelhead escapement (ES) is then estimated by: ES = FR * RT where FR is a fish per redd constant. This constant will be newly developed each year from repeat redd surveys of a tributary of the Wallowa River (Deer Creek) in the Grande Ronde River basin where a known number of adult steelhead are passed above a counting weir (Flesher et al. 2005; Gee et al. 2008; Lance Clarke and Jim Ruzycki, ODFW, unpublished data). This constant or weighting value represents a single spawning year. A locally weighted neighborhood variance estimator (Stevens 2004), which incorporates the pair-wise dependency of all points and the spatially constrained nature of the design, is used to estimate a 95% confidence interval of the escapement estimate using R statistical software (R Development Core Team 2005).
Objectives for this work:
1.Determine if restoration actions increase steelhead survival and productivity at the population and watershed scale.
2.Monitor the status and trend of the current and historically utilized steelhead habitat in the Grande Ronde River Subbasin.
3.Monitor the status and trend of the spatial structure of adult steelhead in the Grande Ronde River Subbasin.
4.Monitor the status and trends of the abundance and productivity of naturally produced steelhead.
5.Monitor the status and trends of the diversity of naturally produced steelhead.
6.Monitor the status and trends of the survival of naturally produced steelhead. | $37,674 | 3.06% | 02/01/2017 | 01/31/2018 |
