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.

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.
SWCD will conduct targeted outreach in ODA Focus Areas, with a primary emphasis on those properties with inadequate streamside vegetation. Focus Areas 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. | $9,756 | 13.94% | 07/01/2020 | 06/30/2021 |

Under this CREP Conservation Plan approximately 4 miles of stream will be protected on Thirtymile Creek for 15years.
Thirtymile Creek represents an important spawning tributary for the summer run Mid-Columbia River steelhead that utilizes the watershed and is the focus of collaborative restoration efforts intended to support fisheries restoration, improve stream habitat, restore natural stream processes, enhance streamflow, and enhance surface water during base flow conditions.
The ecogeomorphic impairments on Thirtymile Creek are the combined result of historic human-induced impacts that include intensive grazing, intensive agriculture, and the eradication of beaver. Intensive upland grazing has increased surface runoff and reduced rates of precipitation infiltration and aquifer recharge. In addition, grazing has resulted in the reduction of riparian vegetation, which may be slow to reestablish along degraded streams such as Thirtymile Creek.
The area of the Thirtymile Watershed has been identified by Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) as a priority through their Strategic Implementation Area (SIA) process and was selected for action in 2018. The Gilliam County SWCD board of directors has committed to assist ODA with the SIA process in the Thirtymile Watershed. Thirtymile creek provides critical habitat for Mid-Columbia Steelhead, a species listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act in 1998. The Mid-C Plan list temperature and sediment load as high restoration priorities for Thirtymile Creek. Thirtymile Creek is included in Oregon's 303d List for not meeting state water quality standards for temperature and sediment. A TMDL is in place for temperature, a limiting factor for aquatic species present in Thirtymile. The Thirtymile Creek Watershed Assessment states that 70% of streams in Thirtymile have little to no shade. This project is also within the John Day partnership Focus area and will be implemented along with other conservation projects.
Through CREP this reach will be heavily planted and fencing will be installed to exclude livestock grazing. These practices will allow for plant development and natural regeneration to increase shading and reduce sediment input into Thirtymile Creek.
This reach lies directly above and directly below many previously implemented CREP projects as well as riparian fencing provided through the BPA funded John Day Habitat Enhancement project. Upon completion of these project (and two others on this contract) 27.02 Miles of Thirtymile will be protected from grazing, leaving only 2.22 miles unprotected.
Further, low tech restoration action outreach and planning is currently being conducted on this reach to install features such as PALS and Beaver Dam Analogs. Channel-spanning Post-Assisted Log Structures (PALS) and primary and secondary BDAs will force flow on to accessible floodplain surfaces. BDAs will force connectivity during baseflow, PALS force overbank flows during high flow. These structures will also be used to facilitate floodplain reconnection, riparian enhancement (improves, shading, provides cover, increases allochthonous nutrient input, etc.), channel complexity, and restoration of natural processes. The restoration work will remediate channel degradation to improve stream health and restore ecological stream function; increase physical complexity to address juvenile steelhead habitat requirements (zones for feeding, energy conservation, predator refugia); improve spawning conditions for adult steelehead though restoration of natural processes; and increase the wetted extent of channel during low flow conditions to increase the quantity of habitat available to juvenile steelhead during summer low flow as segments of the stream are intermittent. | $4,500 | 6.43% | 07/01/2020 | 06/30/2021 |

Under this CREP Conservation Plan approximately 6.05 miles of stream will be protected on Dryfork Hay Creek for 15 years.
Dryfork Hay Creek represents an important spawning tributary for the summer run Mid-Columbia River
steelhead that utilizes the watershed and is the focus of collaborative restoration efforts intended to support fisheries restoration, improve stream habitat, restore natural stream processes, enhance streamflow, and enhance surface water during base flow conditions.
The ecogeomorphic impairments on Dryfork Hay Creek are the combined result of historic human-induced impacts that include intensive grazing, intensive agriculture, and the eradication of beaver.

In addition, grazing has resulted in the reduction of riparian vegetation, which may be slow to reestablish on degraded streams such as Dryfork Hay Creek.
Through CREP this reach will be heavily planted and fencing will be installed to exclude livestock grazing. These practices will allow for plant development and natural regeneration to increase shading and reduce sediment input into Dryfork Hay Creek.
Upon completion of this project all 11.45 miles of Dryfork Hay Creek will be enrolled in CREP. In addition this reach lies directly above many previously implemented CREP projects as well as Riparian Fencing provided through the BPA funded John Day Habitat Enhancement project on the main stem of Hay Creek. All 14.6 miles of Hay Creek below this point have been enrolled in CREP and or have fencing provided by the John Day Habitat Enhancement project.
To further restoration efforts on this 6.05 mile reach of Dry Fork Hay Creek approximately 189 Low Tech restoration structures will be installed. A combination of structure types will be used to maximize hydraulic diversity. BDAs will be installed to force upstream ponds at baseflow. PALS will be installed to force areas of high and low flow velocity to alter patterns of erosion and deposition, promote sorting, large woody debris recruitment. These structures will also be used to facilitate floodplain expansion that will enhance riparian community (improves, shading, provides cover, increases allochthonous nutrient input, etc.) and channel complexity. Facilitate incision recovery which will improve stream health and restore ecological function to the stream. Increase physical complexity within the channel that will be utilized by juvenile steelhead for habitat requirements (zones for feeding, energy conservation, predator refugia), and improve spawning conditions for adult steelehead. Increase wetted extent of channel during low flow conditions, which will increase the quantity of habitat available to juvenile steelhead during summer low flow as some of the stream flows intermittent.

Under this CREP Conservation Plan approximately 2.59 miles of stream will be protected on Lonerock Creek for 15 years.
Lonerock Creek (tributary to Rock Creek) represents an important spawning tributary for the summer run Mid-Columbia River steelhead that utilizes the watershed and is the focus of collaborative restoration efforts intended to support fisheries restoration, improve stream habitat, restore natural stream processes, enhance streamflow, and enhance surface water during base flow conditions.
