A 1-HIP HIP Risk Determination (F&W HABITAT ACTIONS ONLY) : Contact BPA EC Lead for risk determination 9/1/2019 12/31/2019 Concluded Matthew Schwartz 2/1/2019 12:17:06 PM
Description: 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. The HIP activity categories and risk criteria are located in the current HIP Handbook located here: https://www.bpa.gov/efw/Analysis/NEPADocuments/Pages/ESA-Process.aspx

For example, see "Shrub-Steppe and Grassland Restoration Manual For the Columbia River Basin" (http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01330/wdfw01330.pdf), or "Revegetation for Stream Restoration and Fish Passage Projects" (https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/publications/manuals/fulltext/M25-30/830.pdf) for guidance on re-vegetation in the Columbia River Basin.
C LAMP Determine if contract work could adversely affect Pacific lamprey 9/1/2019 12/31/2019 Concluded Matthew Schwartz 2/1/2019 12:17:06 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).
