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-1997-013-25Proposal Version 1Existing ProjectPending BPA Response1997-013-25Yakima River Operations and Maintenance (O&M) for Hatcheries and Acclimation Sites-Yakima/Klickitat Fisheries Project (YKFP)The Yakima/Klickitat Fisheries Project (YKFP or Project) is a supplementation project designated by the NPPC as the principle means of protecting, mitigating, and enhancing the anadromous fish populations in the Yakima and Klickitat Subbasins. The Project's production and research activities will be brought on-line in stages. The first phase (tier) includes the supplementation of upper Yakima River spring chinook. This initial phase also includes research designed to determine the feasibility of re-establishing a naturally spawning population of coho salmon in the Yakima Subbasin. YKFP fish production also includes fall/summer chinook, which are being studied to determine those aspects of the supplementation program which may be applicable. Master Plans for long-term production of coho and fall chinook in the Yakima Basin and associated facilites construction/upgrades are anticipated in this funding cycle. Review of these long-term Master Plans will occur through the NPCC's 3-step review process. The O & M sub-proposal currently covers the following YKFP's fish production and research facilities: the Cle Elum Supplementation and Research Facility (CESRF); the Prosser Fish Facility (PFF); and the Marion Drain Fish Facility (MDFF). Policy direction and planning for each facility's operation is accomplished through the joint efforts of the YN and WDFW. All facilities are operated by the YN. All of the YKFP's Yakima Basin fish production activities are covered by the O & M sub-proposal. These activities include: broodstock collection, spawning, incubation, rearing, and acclimation/release for fall/summer and spring chinook and coho. Steelhead kelt reconditioning and sturgeon rearing activities are also conducted at the Prosser facility. Steelhead kelt reconditioning is a joint project with CRITFC addressed in proposal (#200001700 Steelhead kelt reconditioning), with a considerable amount of work conducted in the Yakima Basin using facilities at Prosser Hatchery. Steelhead kelt reproductive success is addressed in proposal (#200306200 Evaluate reproductive success of steelhead kelts). A new "fast track" proposal (#201003000) is beginning implementation and will address research to refine viable salmon population parameters for all populations of steelhead in the Yakima Basin. Proposal 2008-467-00 (Yakima steelhead acclimation facilities) is an Accords project to address facility needs to support research and recovery of listed steelhead in the Yakima Basin. Adult sturgeon are also held at Prosser/Marion Drain and the YN is exploring options for utilizing these fish for enhancement in the Columbia River. YN is also exploring methods of reintroduction/enhancement of lamprey and sockeye populations. This proposal is most directly related to 1995-063-25 YKFP Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation (Yakima Basin) and will frequently refer the reader to that proposal.Nilay Thakkar (Inactive)05/26/201007/08/2011Nilay Thakkar (Inactive)Yakama Confederated TribesArtificial ProductionNoneRME / AP Category ReviewRM&E Cat.
