Contract Description:
Fish habitat in the Yankee Fork River has been drastically altered as a result of historical land use in the Yankee Fork drainage, particularly where dredge mining occurred.  Dredging occurred intermittently between 1940 and 1952 and obliterated the Yankee Fork stream channel, eliminating or substantially reducing the floodplain.  The new channel that formed was often trapped between dredge tailings and the valley hillside, where it was unable to re-establish a natural meander pattern. Further, flood-flows contained between the hillside and dredge tailings resulted in increased stream energy, which mobilized spawning gravels and wood out of the reach. The inability for this area to naturally recover has also been exacerbated by past removal of trees from the landscape, especially the riparian areas.  

Timber harvest began occurring in the Yankee Fork in the mid-1800s and was conducted primarily to support mining.&n... bsp; By approximately 1904, the hills for miles around the town of Custer (on the Yankee Fork River above the current restoration sites) were denuded of trees, as huge quantities of wood had been used for homebuilding, mine supports, and mills.  This timber harvest was followed, in the dredged area, by clearing to facilitate additional dredging.

Over the past several years, partner agencies and conservation groups that make up the Yankee Fork ID Team (e.g., Trout Unlimited, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, BPA) have partnered to implement several projects (e.g,. West Fork Yankee Fork Confluence, Preacher's Cove) throughout the dredged reach. Building on the progress made in past years' restoration work, the ID Team believes that the Bonanza City reach of the Yankee Fork has the potential to be improved substantially through removal of dredge tailings to form a flood-plain, construction of a new channel within that flood-plain, and additions of large wood in the reaches up and downstream from that area.

Work conducted in this contract renewal will be phase two of a three-phase channel reconstruction project at the Bonanza City site. Bonanza Phase I was contracted under the previous contract (79310) and consisted of site preparation and mine tailing removal to ready the stream reach and staging areas for Phase II construction. Stream substrates, including riffle material and spawning gravel, were also generated and sorted during Phase I by screening dredge tailings. This material will be used in site design under Phase II.

Under this contract renewal, Trout Unlimited will move to the implementation/construction phase (Bonanza Phase II). Phase III is scheduled for 2020 (pending funding), and will include final construction and site revegetation. Cost share for construction at Phase II will be provided through the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF).  

The goal of the three-phase Bonanza project is to return the mainstem Yankee Fork River in the project reach to more natural hydraulic and complex habitat conditions. It will therefore enhance fish habitat for all life-stages of migratory and resident fish, provide cover during high and low flows, provide winter habitat for juvenile salmonids, and provide spawning areas for all salmonids. Salmonids that will benefit from this project include spring/summer Chinook salmon, summer steelhead, bull trout, and westslope cutthroat trout.

Permitting and environmental compliance have been undertaken in previous contracts to ensure that the Bonanza project is fully permitted on time. ESA consultation with NOAA and USFWS for Bonanza is provided through HIP. The USFS is the lead for NEPA and this process has been completed. The USACOE will need to issue a 404 permit (which includes DEQ 401 certification). SHPO coverage has been secured through a letter of concurrence.$3,0001.17%03/01/201912/20/2019

TU will provide financial and contract administrative services in support of the contract as needed: provide project management for the Yankee Fork Bonanza City project; write, coordinate, and administer subcontracts as needed; submit invoices to BPA; prepare or review funding packages for future contracts as needed; submit accrual information for the Bonanza City project.$48,15118.76%03/01/201902/29/2020
