Work Element Usage Report
Title:
A: 165 - Environmental Compliance Clearance: Habitat Restoration & Enhancement Projects
Description:
Work with the BPA EC lead to ensure that work tasks and project actions developed throughout the current (and prior) contract will meet permitting and environmental compliance requirements. For example, provide needed information and support to ECF for ESA consultations (US Fish & Wildlife Service or NOAA Fisheries) and Cultural Resource reviews and concurrences (e.g., State [SHPO] & Tribal [THPO]) for work that is planned for the contract period, prior to beginning any of the work activities.

Coordinate with the BPA Environmental Specialist (EC-Lead) to obtain NEPA, ESA, cultural resources, and other environmental compliance clearances required to implement: (a) upland projects (direct seed, upland erosion and sediment control measures, cropland-to-grassland conversions); (b) water developments; (c) riparian restoration projects (fencing, planting, and grazing BMPs); and (d) in-channel construction activities that are planned for implementation in 2018-2021, including materials or equipment staging areas and construction access points -- and as habitat features and implementation logistics and schedules become more firmly documented through preliminary planning and design details, final design adjustments, and site planning.

On-the-ground work cannot begin until environmental compliance and cultural resource clearance has been received from the EC-Lead.

A HIPCOVER Discuss HIP ESA coverage with Bonneville EC lead 7/1/2023 4/1/2024 Concluded Jennifer Lord 3/13/2023 10:58:01 AM
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.
C ESA Report lamprey observation and catch data to USFWS by Feb. 15 1/1/2024 2/15/2024 Concluded Jennifer Lord 3/17/2023 11:32:54 AM
Description: All contractors doing instream work (e.g., surveys, habitat improvements, electrofishing, screwtraps, etc.) in anadromous fish areas are required to annually report lamprey observations or catch, including zero, by Feb 15 for the previous calendar year’s work. A data template is available at: (https://www.cbfish.org/EfwDocument.mvc/DownloadFile/11) As per instructions on the form, email your data to christina_wang@fws.gov at US Fish and Wildlife Service and CC your COR. For identification of lamprey life stages see USFWS “Best Management Guidelines for Native Lampreys During In-water Work” at https://www.fws.gov/pacificlamprey/BPALampreyGuidanceDocuments.cfm
