Work Element 174: Produce Plan - Published

Basics

WE Name:
174. Produce Plan (Produce Plan)
Work Category:
Planning and Coordination
WE Agreement Type:
Contracted
Status:
Active
Owner:
Jennifer Lord
Definition:
This work element is to be used to produce a wide range of plans including but not limited to operation plans, management plans, maintenance plans, implementation plans, restoration plans, research, monitoring, and evaluation (RM&E) plans, Hatchery Genetic Management Plans (HGMPs), hatchery master plans, hatchery fish production plans, feasibility studies, and surveys, as well as site-specific plans and strategic plans that will influence multiple projects. This work element does not include land management plans; see 193: Produce Land Management Plan. When 174: Produce Plan is used in a SOW for producing a Hatchery Master Plan, the contractor should review the NPCC's requirements under their 2015 Step Document, Section V., Elements A & B (contact Council for current website link) to be sure the necessary content is covered in the plan. After the initial submittal of the Master Plan to NPCC, use 196: Council Step Process to account for all costs associated with the NPCC’s 3-Step process, such as labor and materials for the submittal of response documents required by the NPCC's 3-step process.

Associated Work Elements

  • If the plan involves significant technical detail or engineering specifications, consider using 175. Produce Design.
  • For land management plans, use 193. Produce Land Management Plan instead of 174. Produce Plan.
  • When using Produce Plan to develop a Hatchery Production Plan (required under 176. Produce Hatchery Fish , the plan will cover all species produced at the hatchery. For each species, where applicable, the plan will include a forecast for the next adult return and the number to be retained for broodstock, disposition of excess fish, assumptions about survival between life stages, number of individuals to be released at each life stage, transportation, and acclimation plans, etc. The plan will be provided electronically to co-managers and attached in Pisces to the contract under which the fish are reared. For contracts that also include 61. Maintain Artificial Production Facility/Infrastructure , where an annual maintenance plan is required, the annual production plan(s) and the maintenance plan may be combined into a single "Annual Operating Plan" (AOP).When using Produce Plan to develop a Hatchery Maintenance Plan (required under 61. Maintain Artificial Production Facility/Infrastructure Maintain Artificial Production Facility/Infrastructure), the plan will include major required maintenance as well as desired schedule (for example, pump replacement schedules, whole hatchery painting, asphalt repaving, etc.) for the next 5-10 years (as planned). The maintenance plan will be updated annually and uploaded to Pisces in that year's contract. For contracts that also include 176. Produce Hatchery Fish , where an annual fish production plan(s) is required, the annual production plan(s) and the maintenance plan may be combined into a single Annual Operating Plan (AOP).

  • If the project is part of the Council's 3-Step Process, you may also need to include 196. Council Step Process.

Rules and Examples

  • Rule 1 (Environmental Compliance): Any ESA, NEPA, cultural resources, permitting or other environmental compliance work should be split out as a separate work element.

    Example:

    WE: 174. Produce Plan
    WE Title: Johnson Property Restoration Plan
    WE Description: Develop the basic approach to the restoration of Johnson property.

    WE: 165. Produce Environmental Compliance Documentation
    WE Title: Johnson Property Permits and ESA Compliance
    WE Description: Obtain local permits and ESA compliance associated with the restoration of the Johnson Property. Work with BPA on surveys for cultural resource compliance.

  • Rule 2 (Location of Work): If the plan covers a wide geographic range or multiple locations, you may still lump it under a single work element. However, you may wish to break the work into separate work elements if it provides clarity or better supports project management.

    Examples:

    Option 1 (lumping):

    WE: 174. Produce Plan
    WE Title: Walla Walla Natural Production Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation Plan
    WE Description: Develop a coordinated RME plan between the WDFW, ODFW, and CTUIR

    Option 2 (splitting):

    WE: 174. Produce Plan
    WE Title: Natural Production RM&E Plan for the Oregon Side of the Walla Walla Subbasin
    WE Description: Develop a coordinated Natural Production Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation Plan between the ODFW, and CTUIR

    WE: 174. Produce Plan
    WE Title: Natural Production RM&E Plan for the Washington Side of the Walla Walla Subbasin
    WE Description: Develop a coordinated Natural Production Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation Plan between the WDFW, and CTUIR.

  • Rule 3 (Complexity): If the planning effort is minor, it may be lumped in with an implementation work element. If the planning effort is significant, it should be split out separately from the implementation work element.

    Examples:

    Option 1 (lumping):

    WE: 197. Maintain/Remove Vegetation (Expired)
    WE Title: Johnson Creek Vegetation Removal
    WE Description: Hold a brief meeting with landowner to discuss canary grass removal and then remove the canary grass.

    Option 2 (splitting):

    WE: 174. Produce Plan
    WE Title: Gray's River Watershed Invasive Species Removal Plan
    WE Description: Hold a series of meetings with regional stakeholders to develop a comprehensive invasive species removal plan.

    WE: 197. Maintain/Remove Vegetation (Expired)
    WE Title: Johnson Property Vegetation Removal
    WE Description: Remove canary grass from the Johnson property according to the agreed upon removal plan.

Work with EC to identify applicable environmental mitigation, avoidance areas, conservation areas, best management practices, etc. during the environmental review process. These measures should be incorporated into the design or plan
Assign BPA Hatchery Team Point of Contact for Hatchery Master Plan Development
Suggested
No
For a Hatchery Master Plan, establish BPA Hatchery Team point of contact to participate in Master Planning process.
Establish water quantity and quality necessary for MP conceptual programming
Suggested
No
For a Hatchery Master Plan, confirm the availability of water necessary to meet program objectives, including application for water rights permits. Investigate water quality of potential facility water sources and water quality issues of receiving waters.
Provide draft Hatchery Master Plan to BPA
Suggested
No
For a Hatchery Master Plan, build at least 8 weeks into schedule for BPA review of draft Hatchery Master Plan. Develop process for discussing BPA feedback and revising Master Plan content as negotiated.
Upload Plan to CBfish
Required
Yes
Upon completion the plan shall be uploaded to CBfish.
Produce Annual Operations Plan (Hatchery)
Suggested
No
Draft Annual Operations Plan (AOP) that describes all aspects of fish culture envisioned for the coming year. Include capture, holding, spawning of adults, rearing scenarios, transport and release. Describe any critical responsibilities for both BPA-funded and non-BPA-funded fish culture, unless eggs or fish are simply "purchased". If fish are purchased for immediate release an AOP is not required, use WE 187: Put and Take Fishery. Use file the Management Plan file type when uploading.
Discuss HIP ESA coverage with BPA EC Lead and obtain risk determination
Recommended
No
FOR HABITAT ACTIONS ONLY: The EC Lead will determine if work under this work element may be able to have full ESA-coverage (NMFS & USFWS) under the Habitat Improvement Program Biological Opinion (HIP). The HIP has expanded coverage for projects that may pose a moderate to high risk of impacting an ESA-listed species or critical habitat that would normally require a Biological Assessment. For work that qualifies, projects will undergo a review by the EC Lead and Engineering Technical Services (ETS) team. Before conceptual design commences, contact the EC Lead for HIP consideration, instruction, and information needs and requirements for coverage eligibility.
Assign BPA Energy Efficiency Engineer as Advisor (facility construction projects)
Suggested
No
For a Hatchery Master Plan or other plans that will include building construction or renovation, use this milestone to ensure the planning includes the appropriate energy efficiency and other sustainability aspects as recommended by BPA. The BPA COR will contact Energy Efficiency to request the assignment of a BPA engineer to perform an advisory role on the planning team.
