Work Element Usage Report

Title:

H: 47 - Plant native vegetation on Muddy Springs Creek near in the area of the new habitat complexity project.

Description:

A planting plan has been developed for the Phase I habitat complexity project. Plantings in summer are often not successful so this planting will take place in fall or early spring. The goal is to capitalize on areas of the habitat work that will improve available water to the new vegetation. This will also require protection from wildlife with fence identified in WE I. This WE will complete Phase 1 of the willow planting from the 2022 Feb/March. The remaining planting will occur during the in-stream work window identified in permits that are currently in place. Phase I installed in February/March included harvested willow clumps planted as a part of the prior contract's WE for Increase Aquatic and/or Floodplain Complexity. This Work Element (Plant Vegetation) will introduce native vegetation to the riparian area in small pockets that can be protected by wildlife fence due to the number of elk that inhabit the area during the winter.

A planting plan, attached in the documents, was developed for Phase I of the Muddy Springs project. Due to delays in design and permits only the construction of the habitat complexity was able to take place in the 2021/2022 contract. By utilizing this plan we will evaluate the best location for small plots of planting and the best time to plant based on weather and available water to complete these plantings.

Sort	Type	Title	Start	End	Status	Modified By	Modified Date
A	EC	Environmental compliance requirements complete	5/1/2022	5/31/2022	Concluded	Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive)	9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
		Description: On-the-ground work associated with this work element cannot proceed until this milestone is complete. Milestone is complete when final documentation is received from BPA environmental compliance staff.
B	Obtain plants	Purchase and/or gather plants/seeds	5/27/2022	3/31/2023	Concluded	Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive)	9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
		Description: Consider vegetation BMPs for pollinators. Consult your EC lead for additional resources and information on providers of locally adapted native plants/seeds.
C		Survey site and establish planting locations	7/15/2022	3/31/2023	Concluded	Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive)	9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
		Description: The planting plan will be more successful if sites can be located after the habitat complexity project has been competed and the best sites can be located to plant "clusters" of plants that can be fenced with wildlife fence protection to allow these species to thrive. Willow plantings may need to be subsidized from the original planting during the Feb/March time frame and would need to be completed under the 404 permit in July and August of 2022. Other plantings may be more successful in September/October of 2022 or early spring 2023. The Environmental consultation and permits including cultural survey work should be completed under EC completed for Phase I.
D		Develop Bid documents to select contractor	8/1/2022	9/1/2022	Concluded	Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive)	9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
		Description: Custer SWCD will develop request for qualification and bid documents to solicit for bid for this work element. Custer SWCD and landowner will select contractor based on low bid and contractor experience in completing this type of work.
E		Plant Vegetation	9/1/2022	4/30/2023	Concluded	Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive)	9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
