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-2002-068-00Proposal Version 1Existing ProjectPending BPA Response2002-068-00Implementation of the Columbia Habitat Monitoring Program in Lolo Creek, SF Clearwater, Lochsa, and Imnaha Rivers - NPT DFRM Watershed DivisionThe monitoring of habitat status/trends will be conducted in Lolo Creek, the South Fork (SF) Clearwater River, and Lochsa River within the Clearwater River Subbain and the Imnaha River in NE Oregon under the Columbia Habitat Monitoring Program (CHaMP) that is being proposed under a related project by the Integrated Status and Trend Monitoring Program (ISEMP). This work will include: monitoring of habitat/channel/riparian/macroinvertebrate conditions using the ISEMP recommended habitat protocol at an annual panel of twenty-five (25) sites selected using a general random-tessellation stratified (GRTS) design guided by the ISEMP site selection protocol, and other ISEMP tools, standards, and training provided by ISEMP. Monitoring of habitat/channel/riparian/macroinvertebrate conditions using the ISEMP recommended habitat protocol will also be conducted at six (6) legacy monitoring sites within the SF Clearwater River and three (3) legacy monitoring sites within the Lolo Creek watershed. Data collected under this deliverable will be entered and controlled for accuracy and quality by the proposer within data management tools provided by ISEMP and will be stored/archived for analysis in the STEM data bank and the Nez Perce Tribe data bank. This program will result in systematic habitat status and trends information that will be used to assess basin-wide habitat condition and correlated with biological response indicators to evaluate habitat management strategies. The Lochsa River (16%), Lolo Creek (12%), and South Fork Clearwater River (14%) have the largest 2008 FCPRS BiOp habitat/survival gaps for Snake River steelhead and they all currently have large on-the-ground restoration programs that have been on-going for over 10 years. Implementing the Columbia River Monitoring Program (CHaMP) in these populations is critical in assessing progress towards meeting habitat/survival gaps and tracking limiting factors to support adaptive management of current and future restoration and protection activities. The Imnaha is recommended for CHaMP implementation to meet the criteria for monitoring one population per MPG. Restoration actions to date are more limited in the Imnaha and monitoring data and analysis will assist on-the-ground restoration programs in facilitating prioritization of habitat restoration and protection strategies and locations.Emmit Taylor, Jr.06/04/201002/26/2014Emmit Taylor, Jr.Nez Perce TribeProgrammaticNoneRME / AP Category ReviewRM&E Cat.
