Description: The EC Lead will determine if work under this work element may be able to have ESA-coverage (NMFS & USFWS) under the current version of the Habitat Improvement Program Biological Opinions (HIP BiOps). Work that qualifies must comply with conservation measures in the HIP Handbook. Medium to high risk projects will require a technical review by the Bonneville Engineering Technical Services. Before conceptual design commences, contact the EC lead for HIP applicability, instructions and information requirements.
The HIP activity categories and risk criteria are located in the “Note” section of the work element background page here: https://www.cbfish.org/WorkElement.mvc/Summary/165 |

Description: Work may include drafting BA (or other ESA documentation), completing HIP forms, submitting high risk project designs to the EC Lead, providing copies of Section 10, 4(d), or 6 permits, etc., or submitting Hatchery Genetic Management Plan to BPA for review and ESA consultation initiation, and providing input for the ensuing consultation. Once the program has completed Section 7 consultation and has obtained relevant permits or authorizations (Section 10, 4(d), etc), be familiar with and follow all terms and conditions, including annual reporting, associated with the ESA consultation or permit. Notify BPA immediately of any instances when take has been exceeded or terms and conditions or conservation measures have been violated. |

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 follow guidance from USFWS “Best Management Guidelines for Native Lampreys During In-water Work” at https://www.fws.gov/pacificlamprey/BPALampreyGuidanceDocuments.cfm |
