| A | 199770 | 119 | Manage and Administer Projects | Manage & Administer Project | Develop Statement of Work (SOW), Budget, and Inventory List. Sponsor may be requested to attend BPA, Northwest Power and Conservation Council (Council), Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Authority (CBFWA) conferences and workshops. Maintain work plans, workforce and cost records. | $10,000 | 14.29% | 07/01/2019 | 06/30/2020 |
| B | 199771 | 165 | Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation | Environmental compliance for CREP technician duties | Bonneville Power Administration funds are utilized for CREP Technical staff time and materials only. BPA does not fund any implementation as these actions are funded by the FSA and completed by the landowners. The CREP technicians will prepare NRCS environmental checklist and complete compliance requirements for actions identified in the conservation plan and funded through the FSA. Appropriate conservation measures outlined in the milestones will be followed by CREP technicians while conducting site visits. | $500 | 0.71% | 07/01/2019 | 06/30/2020 |
| C | 199772 | 99 | Outreach and Education | Landowner Outreach and Project Prioritization | Quarterly presentation or news articles, neighborhood meetings, informing landowners of program availability, etc.
Outreach to landowners about the CREP program is targeted to those in anadromous critical habitat or areas that contribute to degraded water quality or habitat conditions through agricultural activities.
Wheeler SWCD will conduct targeted outreach in ODA Focus Areas, and NRCS Conservation Implementation Strategy (CIS) areas with a primary emphasis on those properties with inadequate streamside vegetation. Focus Areas and CIS' have many advantages. Measuring progress is easier and more accurate in smaller watersheds. Partners can coordinate financial resources and water quality improvement efforts. Providing outreach and technical assistance in a small geographic area increases the chances of success. Comparisons of baseline and post-implementation data on land conditions or water quality will help ODA and partners evaluate the effectiveness of area plans and programs. | $3,500 | 5.00% | 07/01/2019 | 06/30/2020 |
| D | 199773 | 40 | Install Fence | New CCRP/CREP Agreement with Landowners, NRCS, SWCD & FSA (from prior contract) | A new CREP agreement will be developed and signed resulting in new riparian fence exclosure funded through the FSA. BPA funding is utilized only to cover CREP technician time for conducting outreach, preparing the conservation plan, and providing technical assistance prior to and during implementation. Fencing installation and other management actions are funded by the FSA through a contract with the landowner. The landowner is responsible for all implementation.
A completed water survey form will be uploaded if water rights are associated with the CREP buffer.
This plan is carried over from the previous SOW, and the starting location has been changed. The SWCD is working to obtain funding to implement instream restoration with the installation of Beaver Dam Analogs (BDA's) to re-engage the floodplain increasing the chance of survival of riparian plantings. It was decided that the best placement for BDA's would be at the top of the reach where the stream is known to dry up, with the hopes that BDAs will extend the wetted portion of the reach further downstream, and further into the summer months. With the roll out of a new 'Farm Bill' the FSA/USDA was not given the authority to execute new CRP, CREP/CCRP contracts during the extent of the FY18 SOW. This contract will be completed under the new SOW. All previously completed milestones have been removed. | $4,200 | 6.00% | 07/01/2019 | 06/30/2020 |

This plan is carried over from the previous SOW, and combines two previous work elements into a single agreement. With the roll out of a new 'Farm Bill' the FSA/USDA was not given the authority to execute new CRP, CREP/CCRP contracts during the extent of the SOW for FY2018, and will need to be completed under the new SOW. All previously completed milestones have been removed. | $3,500 | 5.00% | 07/01/2019 | 06/30/2020 |

A portion of this buffer was previously fenced off by ODFW, and will be enhanced with riparian plantings through this agreement. Maintenance will carried out by ODFW on this portion of the buffer (approximately 1.73 mi) The additional 3.45 miles of riparian fencing will be funded by USDA through the CREP program and maintenance is the responsibility of the landowner. | $6,388 | 9.13% | 07/01/2019 | 06/30/2020 |

Although this is a relatively small project, it's importance stems from the need to address a water quality issue as the surrounding area is used for winter feeding of cattle. Further, the SWCD plans to use the CREP agreement as mach funding to leverage OWEB funds for instream restoration work, as well as upland conservation practices resulting in a near ridge top-to-ridge top project. | $5,887 | 8.41% | 07/01/2019 | 06/30/2020 |

Stephenson Creek is not listed as an ESH stream. However, Stephenson Creek is a direct tributary to Bear Creek, a tributary of Bridge Creek, and the John Day River. Both Bear Creek and Bridge Creek are highly productive Steelhead streams. This project seeks to address a water quality issue by installing riparian fencing restricting access to livestock, completing riparian plantings to reduce water temperature, and providing off site water to livestock. These practices will result in cooler cleaner water entering into Bear Creek enhancing salmonid habitat. | $5,887 | 8.41% | 07/01/2019 | 06/30/2020 |
| J | 199779 | 92 | Lease Land | Renew CCRP/CREP Agreement with Landowners, NRCS, SWCD & FSA | A CREP agreement will be renewed and signed resulting in continued riparian protections. BPA funding is utilized only to cover CREP technician time for conducting outreach, preparing the conservation plan, and providing technical assistance prior to and during implementation. Fencing installation and other management actions are by the FSA through a contract with the landowner. The landowner is responsible for all implementation.
Water rights are currently secured with an OWRD instream lease, and will be renewed with the renewal of the CREP contract. A completed water survey form will be uploaded with the associated CREP buffer.
Under the original contract, fencing was installed through the ODF&W Fish Habitat program. Maintenance is not available under USDA/FSA, and will be the responsibility of the landowner, should ODF&W not be able to renew their agreement.
This re-enrollment will assure that the land up for offer does not revert back to active grazing. The buffer also lacks both woody species and age diversity. This reach was recently treated with Beaver Dam Analog structures (BDAs). The addition of BDAs re-engages the floodplain, recharges ground water, and can re-engage or even create side channels. This results in a better chance of survival for riparian plantings and by enhancing the buffer with upper story species, and younger plants, habitat for salmonids will be improved by providing additional shade and eventually large wood recruitment. | $5,500 | 7.86% | 07/01/2019 | 06/30/2020 |
| K | 199780 | 92 | Lease Land | Renew CCRP/CREP Agreement with Landowners, NRCS, SWCD & FSA | A CREP agreement will be renewed and signed resulting in continued riparian protections.

This re-enrollment will assure that the land up for offer does not revert back to active grazing. The buffer also lacks both species and age diversity of woody plants. By enhancing the buffer with the addition of newly planted upper story species, habitat for salmonids will be enhanced by providing shade and eventually large wood recruitment.
Under the original contract, the fencing was installed by the ODFW Fish Habitat program, and will need to be scrutinized to ensure that the buffer still meets minimum width requirements. Additionally, the landowner will need to be made aware that maintenance is no longer being provided by ODFW, maintenance will not be eligible under USDA/FSA, and will therefore be the responsibility of the landowner. An in-stream water lease was also included as part of the original agreement, and will be required for the life of the contract in order for the landowner to retain the irrigated rental rate for the land up for offer. | $5,500 | 7.86% | 07/01/2019 | 06/30/2020 |
