Work Element Usage Report

Title:

C: 165 - Environmental Compliance Documentation and Clearance (WEs: C - H)

Description:

The statement of work for this project includes activities (Work Elements C - H) that require environmental clearance from the BPA Environmental Planning and Analysis Group (KEC).

Tagging of Tucannon hatchery summer steelhead, Tucannon River wild origin summer steelhead, or Tucannon hatchery spring Chinook, is covered under the monitoring and evaluation sections of the Tucannon River summer steelhead HGMP, or Tucannon River spring Chinook HGMP, that have been submitted by LSRCP to NOAA Fisheries. Both HGMP's are under consultation with NOAA Fisheries; NOAA has not finalized either HGMP.

The HGMP for summer steelhead also covers activities such as adult trapping and biological sampling of steelhead at the Tucannon FH, spawning ground surveys, and smolt trapping on the Tucannon River. Pending approval of these HGMPs, WDFW will submit annual take report data through the LSRCP hatchery evaluation project annual reports. WDFW is still able to request and report take under a continuing 4(d) permit (still effective); but has received take authorization within the terms of the 2014 Supplemental FCRPS Bi-Op, via a letter from NOAA Fisheries, dated Jan 26, 2016.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

Provide environmental compliance assistance and documentation to BPA's Environmental Planning and Analysis Group (KEC). Submit needed information as requested by BPA EC lead, including the information to facilitate NEPA and ESA clearances, or to support a categorical exclusion, for data collection activities.

Provide ESA take reports to NOAA Fisheries (and copy BPA) through the 4(d) permit, or LSRCP hatchery evaluation project (when the HGMP is approved); consult with NOAA and BPA as needed.

A	LAMP	Determine if contract work could adversely affect Pacific lamprey	12/1/2017	1/30/2018	Concluded	Russell Scranton	11/7/2017 3:29:22 PM
		Description: Contractor will review work proposed under this contract and determine the following: 1) Will field work take place in any area where lamprey may be present? (Any tributary or subbasin where anadromous fish exist is also accessible Pacific lamprey habitat.) 2) Are there any stream disturbing activities or instream activities that could adversely impact Pacific lamprey? Examples of activities posing a threat to lamprey may include (this list is not intended to be all-inclusive): aquatic habitat improvements, fish passage improvements, culvert replacements, water diversions, altered management of water flows, dewatering of any portions of streams, or alteration of irrigation practices. If the answer is yes to BOTH 1 and 2, the contractor must implement USFWS Best Management Practices to Minimize Adverse Effects to Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) http://www.fws.gov/pacific/Fisheries/sphabcon/lamprey/pdf/Best%20Management%20Practices%20for%20Pacific%20Lamprey%20April%202010%20Version.pdf (BMPs).
B	ESA	Report lamprey observation and catch data to USFWS by Feb. 15	12/1/2017	11/30/2018	Concluded	Russell Scranton	11/7/2017 3:29:22 PM
		Description: All contractors doing instream work (e.g., surveys, habitat improvements, electrofishing, screwtraps, etc.) in anadromous fish areas are required to annually report lamprey observations or catch, including zero, by Feb 15 for the previous calendar year’s work. A data template is available at: (https://www.cbfish.org/EfwDocument.mvc/DownloadFile/11) As per instructions on the form, email your data to christina_wang@fws.gov at US Fish and Wildlife Service and CC your COTR. For identification of lamprey life stages see page 10 of USFWS Best Management Practices to Minimize Adverse Effects to Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) http://www.fws.gov/pacific/Fisheries/sphabcon/lamprey/pdf/Best%20Management%20Practices%20for%20Pacific%20Lamprey%20April%202010%20Version.pdf.
