Title:

D: 40 - New CCRP/CREP Agreement with Landowners, NRCS, SWCD & FSA (from prior contract)

Description:

A new CREP agreement will be developed and signed resulting in new riparian fence exclosure funded through the FSA. BPA funding is utilized only to cover CREP technician time for conducting outreach, preparing the conservation plan, and providing technical assistance prior to and during implementation. Fencing installation and other management actions are funded by the FSA through a contract with the landowner. The landowner is responsible for all implementation.

A completed water survey form will be uploaded if water rights are associated with the CREP buffer.

This plan is carried over from the previous SOW, and the starting location has been changed. The SWCD is working to obtain funding to implement instream restoration with the installation of Beaver Dam Analogs (BDA's) to re-engage the floodplain increasing the chance of survival of riparian plantings. It was decided that the best placement for BDA's would be at the top of the reach where the stream is known to dry up, with the hopes that BDAs will extend the wetted portion of the reach further downstream, and further into the summer months. With the roll out of a new 'Farm Bill' the FSA/USDA was not given the authority to execute new CRP, CREP/CCRP contracts during the extent of the FY18 SOW. This contract will be completed under the new SOW. All previously completed milestones have been removed.

WE Agreement Type:

Contracted

Deliverable Specification:

A CREP Plan detailing new riparian fence enclosures is completed and approved for funding. Funding is provided by FSA.

This plan is carried over from the previous SOW. With the roll out of a new 'Farm Bill' the FSA/USDA was not given the authority to execute new CRP, CREP/CCRP contracts during the extent of the SOW for FY2018. All previously completed milestones have been removed.

Under this CREP Conservation Plan approximately 2.67 miles of stream will be protected within anadromous habitat along Butte Creek for 10 years.
