	RMECAT-1994-026-00	Proposal Version 1	Existing Project	Pending BPA Response	1994-026-00	Pacific Lamprey Research and Restoration Project	The purpose of this study is to provide the critical information to restore Pacific lampreys Lampetra tridentata in the Umatilla River that is called for in the Draft Umatilla/Willow Subbasin Plan. Lamprey are a critical cultural resource for tribal members. Restoration of Umatilla lamprey populations will both provide harvest opportunities and will recover the ecosystem functions that lamprey provide. Pacific lampreys are vital components of intact ecosystems that have been affected directly and indirectly by dams, habitat deterioration, and possibly food web shifts in the ocean. Previous restoration efforts have proven that outplanting adult lamprey can result in successful adult reproduction and increased larval production. The next step in this project is to insure that outplanted lamprey will result in a self-sustaining population in the Umatilla Subbasin. In addition to increasing the abundance of larval lamprey in the subbasin, key components are to establish that more adult lamprey are now returning to the Umatilla Subbasin, and that they are able to reach historical spawning areas. Consequently the project objectives are: (1) estimate the numbers of adult lampreys entering the Umatilla River, (2) investigate juvenile lamprey screening criteria for use in the Umatilla Subbasin, (3) monitor passage success to spawning areas, (4) develop structures to improve passage success, 5) increase larval abundance in the Umatilla River by continuing to outplant adult lamprey, 6) monitor larval population trends in the Umatilla River by conducting electrofishing surveys, and 7) estimate the numbers of juvenile lampreys migrating out of the Umatilla River.

	NPCC19-1994-026-00	Proposal Version 2	Existing Project	ISRP - Pending Final Review	1994-026-00	Pacific Lamprey Research and Restoration Project	The purpose of this study is to provide the critical information to restore Pacific Lampreys in the ceded area streams of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation as called for in several planning documents. Lamprey are a critical cultural resource for tribal members. Restoration of CTUIR ceded area lamprey populations will both provide harvest opportunities and will recover the ecosystem functions that lamprey provide. Pacific Lampreys are vital components of intact ecosystems that have been affected directly and indirectly by dams, habitat deterioration, and possibly food web shifts in the ocean. Previous restoration efforts have proven that outplanting adult lamprey can result in successful adult reproduction, increased larval production, increased juvenile outmigration and increased adults entering the Umatilla River The next step in this project is to implement the Pacific Lamprey Master Supplementation Plan that will guide actions with the goal of self-sustaining, harvestable populations in the Umatilla, Grande Ronde, John Day, Walla Walla , Tucannon and Imhana subbasins. Our planned future objectives are to: Objective 1 Umatilla and Grande Ronde Adult Translocation: Continue re-introduction of adult lamprey in the Umatilla and Grande Ronde basins. Continue adult translocation/outplanting until natural adult returns meet spawner goals Objective 2 Ceded Area Abundance Monitoring: Continue population trend monitoring in ceded area subbasins coordinated through existing salmonid monitoring efforts and mainstem dam counts. In addition, establish long term index sites for juvenile lamprey population monitoring. Objective 3 Enhance and monitor adult and juvenile lamprey passage: Install adult lamprey passage structures (LPS) at low-elevation irrigation diversion dams in Umatilla basin. Monitor adult passage success over low-elevation diversions through radio-telemetry investigations. Develop and apply PIT tagging for juvenile lamprey passage studies in Umatilla and Columba River Basin. Objective 4 Develop and implement Best Management Practices for handling and artificial propagation of adult and juvenile lamprey in the laboratory (PLMSP Section 5.4.2.1 & 2.): Conduct lamprey holding, spawning, incubation and rearing experiments in laboratory environment to determine most successful culture practices (Phase I) in order to produce larvae and ammocoetes for eventual release in CTUIR ceded areas (Phase II). Objective 5 Out-plant and monitor successfully held and reared adult and juvenile products from Objective 4 as per PLMSP experimental design (PLMSP 5.4.2.3): Phase II of Master Supplementation Plan is to implement a supplementation control/treatment experimental design across multiple sub basins. Supplementation will be evaluated to determine survival success of all life history phases in each sub basin. Objective 6 Lamprey Planning, Collaboration, Outreach and Education: Participate in inter-agency forums to update and produce lamprey planning documents. Disseminate project results (including Master Plan Supplementation implementation results) in various local/regional forums, conferences, media, etc. Publish project results in peer-reviewed journals.
