Proposals

A Proposal is an application to continue existing work or start new work. While historically the Program solicited for all types of projects at once, starting in fiscal year 2009, the Northwest Power and Conservation Council and BPA are reviewing and soliciting for projects that are similar in nature and intent. These "categorical" reviews started with Wildlife projects and continue with Research, Monitoring, & Evaluation (RME) and Artificial Production (Hatchery) projects.

The project focuses on the restoration of the habitats utilized by the ESA listed Snake River Spring/Summer Chinook Salmon and Snake River Summer Steelhead, but benefits many other species of fish and wildlife. Since the initiation of this project in 1984, a total of 63 projects have been completed along 97.9 miles of stream, restoring 4,087 acres of riparian and instream habitat. Restoration strategies include a variety of passive and active restoration techniques. The methods used on individual projects are based on specific project objectives and limiting factors. Efforts have focused on the Joseph Creek, Wallowa River, Catherine Creek and Upper Grande Ronde River subbasins based on recommendations of agencies, tribes, the Grande Ronde Model Watershed Program (GRMWP) and subbasin plans. This project frequently works in partnership with other agencies including USBR, CTUIR, ODOT, ODF, NOAA, NRCS, USFWS, USFS, USWCD, GRMWP and others. The results of these restoration efforts have shown improving conditions in project areas for chinook salmon, steelhead and other native fishes. An in depth summary of the project history, goals and objectives, summaries of individual project accomplishments, and overall results was completed by project staff in May 2008. The summary report for the1984-2007 time frame can be found at: https://pisces.bpa.gov/release/documents/documentviewer.aspx?doc=P107898 New project activities planned for this contract period include project planning, design, permitting, and construction. Work in 2013 will include assisting with the designs for the Catherine Creek/CC-44 Phase I project with construction scheduled in the fall. We will also work with ODOT on the construction of a new bridge that will be required to connect the Ladd Creek Channel Reconstruction and Wetland Restoration project underneath Highway 203. We will continue to work closely with the USWCD, CTUIR, USBR and BPA on new BiOp projects, including the Catherine Creek/CC-44 Phase 2 project, Catherine Creek/Sheehy and Catherine Creek/Ricker projects. Additional work will include working cooperatively with CTUIR on the Rock Creek/Bean and Mud Creek/Cannidy-Morrison projects. We will continue to work independently on the Wallowa River/Baker project. Ongoing project activities include maintenance and monitoring of existing projects. ODFW staff will inspect 60 habitat projects built earlier, and conduct maintenance (i.e. repair fences and water gaps, stream banks, etc.) as necessary to ensure habitat treated by these projects continues to improve. Monitoring to track progress toward meeting project objectives as described in the summary report listed above and since revised will continue throughout this fiscal year and beyond. Administration, reporting and outreach activities will be conducted as in years past.Vance McGowan12/24/201211/26/2013Vance McGowanOregon Department of Fish and WildlifeHabitatNone2013 Geographic Category Review2013 Geographic ReviewBiOp
