Title:

L: 122 - Participation in BPA's Catherine Creek, Upper Grande Ronde, and Wallowa Atlas Process

Description:

Staff will participate in BPA's Catherine Creek, Upper Grande Ronde, and Wallowa Atlas process as a member of the Science Technical Advisory Committee, STAC subgroup, and the Implementation Team. Staff will assist with prioritizing the location and type of work needed to address the key factors that limit the productivity, abundance, distribution, and sustainability of ESA listed spring/summer Chinook salmon, summer steelhead, and bull trout. Staff shall evaluate the available empirical data on fish use, periodicity, and limiting factors to define biologically significant reaches (BSR) and recommend restoration action types (from a biological perspective) that would address the identified limiting factors

Staff will also work with basin partners to identify project opportunities and assign each priority opportunity an Opportunity Lead. When staff are the Opportunity lead, they shall work with the Implementation Team and be responsible for developing each qualifying high priority opportunity into a prospectus and ultimately a project proposal (See WE N, Identify and Select Projects).

Staff will attend monthly Atlas meetings and an annual State of the Science meeting in La Grande, to improve implementation and adaptive management of the Atlas.

Staff will present program accomplishments at the annual State of Science meeting and in other forums as requested.

Staff will review and comment on collaborator's prospectuses and proposals and make recommendations on funding. This implementation approach will focus opportunity development on the highest value restoration projects through a cycle of identification, prioritization, and refinement of restoration opportunities.

Staff will participate in spring and fall solicitations including site visits for projects proposed for funding and IT meetings for reviewing and commenting on technical assistance and restoration funding proposals. Staff will submit written comments and funding recommendations for all submitted funding proposals.

Travel will occur to monthly meetings and to project site visits on a case by case basis.
