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 you answer no to EITHER 1 or 2 above, the following does not apply. If the answer is yes to BOTH 1 and 2, the contractor must implement USFWS Best Management Practices to Minimize Adverse Effects to Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) http://www.fws.gov/pacific/Fisheries/sphabcon/lamprey/pdf/Best%20Management%20Practices%20for%20Pacific%20Lamprey%20April%202010%20Version.pdf (BMPs). By Feb 15 each year, the contractor should report any lamprey observations during the previous calendar year to US Fish and Wildlife Service contacts listed at http://www.fws.gov/pacific/Fisheries/sphabcon/lamprey/. This data should include date, location (river mile or GPS), number of individuals, and life stage. Report the life stage as ammocoete (larval stage with undeveloped eyes, found burrowed in substrate), macropthalmia (free-swimming juvenile stage with developed eyes) or adult. See page 10 of the BMP document for pictures. This milestone end date should match the last day of any field work that could adversely impact Pacific lamprey, under this contract, or the Feb 15 reporting date, whichever comes later.
