Title:
J: 29 - Increase habitat complexity in Muddy Springs by implementing Phase II by installing woody structures and creating pools to provide habitat and cover for juvenile fish.
Description:
Muddy Springs Habitat Improvement Project Phase II will enhance habitat on 0.80 river miles in the Pahsimeroi River watershed. Muddy Springs Creek is a spring creek that connects to the Pahsimeroi River. Muddy Springs Creek flows into the Pahsimeroi in the heart of Chinook Salmon spawning habitat and is ideal summer and winter rearing habitat for juvenile fish and may also create thermal refuge in the summer and winter as it maintains a steady water temperature and does not freeze. Much of the channel had been de-watered for over 50 years. Due to this de-watering it lacks riparian vegetation and in-stream complexity. This project will improve habitat forms and processes for juvenile spring Chinook salmon and summer steelhead. Juvenile salmonid habitat enhancement will be accomplished through narrowing the channel width by placement large woody debris, channel spanning logs and BDA’s along with extensive riparian planting. Intended flooding in some areas will help reduced sediment in both Muddy Springs and the Pahsimeroi. Similar to Phase I, Channel spanning wood structures in varying configurations will be installed throughout the reach. Pond structures and several island structures are also proposed in this design. The purpose of these structures is to provide habitat and cover for juvenile fish, increase instream complexity, narrow the channel, and increase water surface elevations to reconnect the adjacent floodplain. These structures will be constructed with a combination of whole trees, rootwads, racking and slash, willow clumps, willow cuttings, and untreated posts. Most structures will be channel spanning. Approximately 6 pools will be installed with this project.

Sort Type Title Start End Status Modified By Modified Date
A EC Environmental compliance requirements complete. HIP4 #2023003 was completed 10/6/2022 11/18/2022 1/20/2023 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 Final metrics Provide final metrics 6/1/2023 10/15/2023 Concluded Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive) 9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
Description: Verify implemented work is consistent with planned metrics and update final metrics in cbfish.
C Sub-contractor hired for implementation 2/1/2023 2/28/2023 Concluded Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive) 9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
Description: A request for qualification process and bid process has been completed. Custer SWCD will work with the landowner to implement the project under a contract between the district and landowner. The construction contract and landowner contract will be finalized once funds have been approved within this contract. All documents are in order.
D In water work window identified 2/1/2023 2/28/2023 Concluded Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive) 9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
Description: Work with IDFG and NOAA to ensure the work can be completed in the February/March 2023 time frame as identified in the HIP.
E Materials for structures staged at implementation sites 3/1/2023 3/31/2023 Concluded Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive) 9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
Description: Materials will be staged in early to mid January to allow work to be completed in February and early March. Contractor has identified adequate material to complete the project.
F Construction begins 4/1/2023 4/28/2023 Concluded Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive) 9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
Description: Construct can begin as soon as the 404 permit is in place and fish suveys have been completed to ensure the work widow is feasible for the February/March construction time frame. Similar work was completed in 2022 during this period and was less impact on the frozen ground.
G DELIV Completion of all structure implementation 7/28/2023 Concluded Ryan Ruggiero (Inactive) 9/12/2023 7:14:30 AM
Description: Complete habitat complexity work within Muddy Springs on Phase II by installing a combination of whole trees, rootwads, racking and slash, willow clumps, willow cuttings, and untreated posts. Most structures will be channel spanning. Approximately 6 pools will be installed with this project.
