As the canopy closes, seeds brought in by birds and animals spread understory species, such as red elderberry, sword fern, and dogwood, As these species fill the understory on their own or from areas where herbaceous plugs were established, the forest diversity becomes more self sustaining. Project(s): 1999-025-00 Document: P122290 Dimensions: 537 x 403 Description: Page: 17 Photo B: This area was burned (note a few dead trees in background) and site prep’ed for planting rye. This area will be under cultivation for 2 years to control weedy species, such as blackberries, prior to forest restoration in 1012-13. This approach can save up to $1500 per acres in restoration costs.

These high water levels maintained wetland water above the expected norm. Project(s): 1999-025-00 Document: P122290 Dimensions: 555 x 416 Description: Page: 24 Photo D: These pictures show the innovative approach using a local farmer to help with site preparation in eliminating weedy species. He farms the area, treating weeds and obtains a crop. The land becomes site prep’ed for restorative planting with natives after a year or two depending on severity of weed infestation. This approach saves close to $1500 per acre per year and meanwhile stimulates local economy. This approach appears to be working well and will be initiated on a regular basis in future restoration work at SRD.

| Final Round ISRP Comment: | |
|
The sponsor's response adequately addresses the ISRP's comments about monitoring. Monitoring is either ongoing or planned for vegetation, neotropical bird migrants, waterfowl, amphibians, and reptiles. Responses are specific and give details, especially with regard to avian monitoring.
Fish monitoring is less than adequate, with very sparse baseline data. Although the sponsors are going to accelerate fish monitoring, data will be obtained only in 2006 and 2007. Two years of fish monitoring is insufficient to detect fish responses to long-term habitat change. The sponsors should be encouraged to implement a long-term monitoring program for fish because even if there is a delay in dike breaching, the re-vegetation program underway is supposed to provide benefits to fish such as provision of riparian insects as food. The monitoring program could be tied into some of the proposed or ongoing fish monitoring and/or research on the mainstem Columbia River. The ISRP will expect more detailed information on fish monitoring in subsequent project reviews. Dike removal is planned in 2009. Given the sponsor's additional response to the State/Province project recommendations, the planning and design for dike removal/bridge replacement with potential partners (City of Portland and US Army Corps of Engineers) should continue as a priority. The bridge replacement does seem more appropriate as a BPA capital improvements project. The sponsors propose to report results via consultants' report and web sites. The sponsors should publish some of their data, at least in the grey literature. Information transfer has been mainly through regular annual reports. |

| Comment: | Multiple restoration activities (plantings, invasive weed control) which may occur on federal land (covered by FS-BPA MOU?); also the dike removal (highest expense item) appears to be a City of Portland requirement for compliance with their own HCP, need clarification of how BPA funding is supplementing not in lieu. |
