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.

    RMECAT-1987-127-00Proposal Version 1Existing ProjectPending BPA Response1987-127-00Smolt Monitoring by Non-Federal EntitiesThe smolt-monitoring program (SMP) provides data on movement of salmonid smolts out of the major drainages and past the series of dams on the Snake and Columbia rivers. Indices of migration strength and migration timing are provided for the run-at-large at key monitoring sites. In addition, marked smolts from hatcheries, traps, and dams provide measures of smolt speed and in-river survival through key reaches. Fish quality, descaling, and gas bubble trauma measures are taken on samples of fish collected at the monitoring sites to provide an indicator of health of the run. These data are used for in-season operational decisions relative to flow and spill management, particularly during periods when spill is being provided to improve smolt passage at dams.Briana Anderson (Inactive)06/09/201007/08/2011Briana Anderson (Inactive)Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC), Fish Passage Center, Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW)HydrosystemNoneRME / AP Category ReviewRM&E Cat.

Indices of migration strength and migration timing are provided for the run-at-large at key monitoring sites. In addition, marked smolts from hatcheries, traps, and dams provide measures of smolt speed and in-river survival through key reaches. Fish condition, descaling, and gas bubble trauma measures are taken on samples of fish collected at the monitoring sites to provide an indicator of health of the run at large. These data as required by the NOAA Biological Opinion are utilized to monitor facility injury and mortality rates, to provide early warning of facility problems. These data are used for in-season operational decisions relative to flow and spill management, particularly during periods when spill is being provided to improve smolt passage at dams. The Smolt Monitoring Program generates a long term consistent historical time series that is the basis for analyses and fish passage mitigation decisions. Smolt Monitoring data is managed by the Fish Passage Center and posted on the Fish Passage Center web site, on a daily basis and is accessible for view and download by the public. The Fish Passage Center Annual Report includes the annual report of the Smolt Monitoring Program as well as summarizing reservoir operations, environmental conditions, spill, flow total dissolved gas and describes mainstem research in that year. The Smolt Monitoring Program is reviewed and potentially modified by the state, tribal, federal fishery managers and federal action agencies each year depending on prevailing management questions, regional agreements, requirements of biological opinions and hydroelectric project operations and environmental conditions. The Fish Passage Center maintains responsibility for Environmental Compliance requirements of the Smolt Monitoring Program. Smolt Monitoring Program data and sampling protocols are published and available to the public on the Fish Passage Center website.Rasa Keanini (Inactive)$2,851,68711/14/201805/30/2019Rasa Keanini (Inactive)Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC), Fish Passage Center, Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW)HydrosystemNone2019-2021 Mainstem/Program Support2019-2021 Mainstem/Program SupportBiOp
