Work Element Usage Report
Title:
E: 114 - Identify, evaluate, prioritize and select projects for habitat improvement
Description:
Implementation guidance: potential projects list (updated). Work with local stakeholders and resource agencies to identify and select watershed projects based on identified needs through subbasin planning, and on recovery goals articulated for Snake River Salmon Recovery Planning Office through the Tucannon Habitat Plan and Touchet River Conceptual Plan.

Serve as a clearinghouse for project review, evaluation, and selection: manage project files for each project, developed in conjunction with agency technical personnel, and updated to include initial scoping, preliminary design stages, and any subsequent cultural resource review and environmental compliance clearances. Review feasibility and likelihood of success for projects proposed by potential partners in the basin. Make final determination of priority instream and riparian projects that are feasible and defensible and have the potential for effective and measurable salmonid habitat restoration improvement.

Continue to identify, evaluate, and plan for the implementation of future habitat restoration projects, derived from those prioritized in the Tucannon Habitat Programmatic (BPA), the Snake River Salmon Recovery Plan (SRSRB), and District program or watershed planning pursuant to the updated Conceptual Restoration Plan (Anchor, 2021). Selected projects may have 15% designs developed, which would possibly include cross sectionals or site surveys.
WE Agreement Type:
Contracted
Deliverable Specification:
Provide a list of prioritized habitat projects (including acquisitions) you are likely to implement in the next 2-3 years. Priority projects are those evaluated and selected on the basis of criteria derived from a conceptual strategy, restoration framework or implementation work plan. A project list template is available from your COR. You may use an alternative reporting template providing it conveys the required detail.

Upload to CBFish (use Attachment Type: “Communication") and email the COR, Habitat Area Lead, and EC-lead that it has been uploaded.

Milestones

10 Milestones
Sort Type Title Start End Status Modified By Modified Date
A Review projects Review proposed near-term habitat work before drafting a SOW for the subsequent contract (CR) 7/3/2024 10/31/2024 Concluded Jennifer Lord 1/31/2024 5:54:07 PM
Description: Communicate with the COR and EC-lead; to check in and discuss the near-term list of prioritized projects (next 12-mos). Complete a conference call with BPA’s Environmental Compliance (EC) staff about which projects the contractor is likely to design and permit, or implement, in the next contract period. Your communication should include: what Work Elements to use in the SOW with guidance from COR/EC, the applicability of EC review requirements and timelines (especially for activities that include ground-disturbing work) and work plan, before you start editing your subsequent SOW. (milestone end-date is 6-mos before contract end).
B Scoping of potential projects (1st technical review) 4/1/2024 7/1/2024 Concluded Jennifer Lord 1/31/2024 5:54:07 PM
Description: Assess limiting factors, biological impacts, identify initial possible solutions.
C COR/EC discuss Discuss prioritized list with COR and EC Lead; plan for subsequent contract work. 7/3/2024 10/31/2024 Concluded Jennifer Lord 1/31/2024 5:54:07 PM
Description: Coordinate with the BPA COR and EC Lead for large, complex, or multi-year actions before including the project in the SOW, or developing a design. Coordination for these types of projects could include holding coordination meetings; leading site visits; and/or including the COR and EC Lead at annual reviews, solicitation meetings, or other sponsor-lead evaluations. Assure that project design review and approval, and funding commitments, are fully vetted with BPA staff; timely environmental compliance clearance for planned work requires the earliest possible coordination.
D Watershed management approval 7/1/2024 3/3/2025 Active Jennifer Lord 1/31/2024 5:54:07 PM
Description: Receive Board approval to move to final review of proposed projects.
E Conceptual design development and cost estimates 9/30/2024 3/31/2025 Active Jennifer Lord 1/31/2024 5:54:07 PM
Description: Work to advance priority project, or projects, from the conceptual to an initial design phase (i.e., assessment and diagrams with rough cost estimates). Based on priorities, advance project concepts to a 15% design phase (may require field measurements and/or cross-sectionals and site surveys).
F Coordination: RTT (2nd technical review) 9/30/2024 3/31/2025 Active Jennifer Lord 1/31/2024 5:54:07 PM
Description: Collaborate with cooperating resource or regulatory agencies, tribes and other implementation partners to review project concepts, designs, initial estimates, and other technical considerations for consistency with the revised and more explicit prioritization goals of the restoration framework for the watershed (2021 Plan).
G Cultural Resource review and clearance initiated for future projects 9/30/2024 3/31/2025 Active Jennifer Lord 1/31/2024 5:54:07 PM
Description: Continue to initiate or complete cultural resource review and investigation for projects in the planning and design stage, slated to be implemented in the next three contract periods. If planning or design work requires ground disturbance including but not limited to geotechnical surveys, ground water monitoring, or well exploration, obtain appropriate cultural resources consultation prior to any ground disturbance. Contractor must contact BPA EC-lead as early as possible to identify site location(s), and to confirm anticipated site-investigation or other activities, and the status of any environmental or cultural resource review and compliance activities undertaken in support of contract actions. Continue to coordinate with EC-Lead to determine if work requires additional survey, consultation, or documentation.
H Investigate potential partnerships and plan future project concepts and details 4/1/2024 3/31/2025 Active Jennifer Lord 1/31/2024 5:54:07 PM
Description: Investigate the merits and potential contribution of instream and/or riparian projects that can be planned and implemented in partnership with sub-regional entities. Main focus is to develop team and confirm strategies and objectives associated with prioritized restoration activities identified conceptually in the Restoration Strategy and planning framework for the Tucannon watershed.
I Priority areas Determine priority areas and actions (projects) based on the most current empirical data 4/1/2024 9/30/2024 Concluded Jennifer Lord 1/31/2024 5:54:07 PM
Description: Prioritize areas and actions (projects) at the site, reach, or watershed level based on the most current biological and physical data (e.g., habitat and fish data).
J DELIV Develop or update (out-year) prioritized Habitat Project list: Upload to CBFish 3/31/2025 Active Jennifer Lord 1/31/2024 5:54:07 PM
