This book was released on 2002 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BPA proposes to purchase a conservation easement on approximately 221 acres of the Herbert parcel in Benton County, Oregon for the protection of wetland, riparian, and riverine habitats. The Herbert parcel is located within the Willamette Basin Mitigation Program's Canby Muddy Creek/Mary's River Focus Area southwest of the City of Corvallis. The Herbert site is a cooperative project principally facilitated by BPA, Trust for Public Land, City of Corvallis, and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Once the conservation easement is finalized, the participants will develop a management plan for the Herbert parcel. Future management actions will likely involve the restoration and enhancement of riparian forests, wetlands, and riverine habitats. This Supplement Analysis covers the acquisition of the Herbert conservation easement only; all proposed management activities will require additional NEPA analysis prior to implementation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BPA funds the Albeni Falls Wildlife Mitigation Program, which is tasked with the acquisition and restoration of key habitats within the Pend Oreille Watershed. This mitigation program purchases private land to be owned and managed by program participants for the protection, mitigation, and enhancement of wildlife affected by the construction and operation of the Federal hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River. BPA is currently working with the Kalispel Tribe of Indians to acquire and manage three parcels that total approximately 890 acres of land within Pend Oreille County, Washington. The properties proposed for acquisition contain habitats or potential habitats that will provide BPA with credits for partial mitigation of wildlife habitat losses due to the construction of Albeni Falls Dam. The current proposal includes only the fee title acquisition of these parcels; habitat enhancement activities will likely be carried out by the Kalispel Tribe of Indians in the future following the development of a management plan(s) for the lands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bonneville Power Administration is proposing to fund a fish passage improvement effort on Cowiche Creek in conjunction with the Yakima Tributary Access and Habitat Program and the North Yakima Conservation District. As part of this project, existing pump diversions will be fitted with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and NOAA Fisheries approved Pump Rite screens. In each case, the intake will be attached to a flexible plastic pipe that may be draped over the streambank and lowered into the creek during the irrigation season. No filling or excavating will be required and no permanent structures are to be installed. Existing diversions currently use removable flex hose, so there are no existing structures to be removed.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BPA proposes to fund a project with the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife that will restore historic spawning areas for chum salmon in Duncan Creek. Duncan Creek, a Washington tributary of the Columbia River, was traditionally an important spawning area for chum salmon. The spring seeps areas that chum historically used for spawning are still present in Duncan Creek, however during the past 30 years they have been covered by sediment and debris and infested with reed canary grass. This project proposes to rehabilitate these spawning channels in order to provide chum salmon with a protected spawning and incubation environment. The proposed habitat rehabilitation project will include removing existing gravel in the seeps of Duncan Creek that contain mud, sand, and organics and replacing them with gravels that will maximize egg-to-fry survival rates for chum salmon. A trackhoe or similar equipment will be used to excavate the spawning sites. Invasive vegetation will be removed. Spawning channels will then be reconstructed using sediment free spawning gravels and base rock. Upon completion of work, all disturbed spring channel banks will be protected from erosion with staked coir fabric and revegetated with native willows. Plantings will help to restore native plant communities, increase stream channel shading, and reduce re-infestation by reed canary grass.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BPA proposes to fund a project with the Colville Confederated Tribes that will improve spawning and rearing specifically for summer steelhead in the Omak Creek Watershed. Efforts to achieve this objective include improved livestock and forestry management and barrier removal. These techniques include exclusionary fencing, spring developments, hardened-rock crossings, road decommissioning, culvert removal and placement, riparian vegetation planting and installation of instream structures. The result of implementing these techniques will reduce fine sediment delivered to the stream channel which will result in increased hatching success of summer steelhead. Also, reestablishing riparian vegetation will provide canopy and enclose the stream channel resulting in reduced stream temperatures. Two "on-the-ground" projects are proposed for this year. One project consists of installing three instream structures and planting riparian vegetation to provide bank stability along approximately 200' of privately owned stream bank of Omak Creek. Also a fence will be constructed to exclude the landowner's horses. The second project consists of removal of an inadequate sized culvert (5' diameter) and replacement with a larger bottomless arch (6' x 12'). This project will also include seven instream structures to stabilize the stream bank both upstream and downstream of the culvert and direct flows through the center of the bottomless arch.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BPA proposes to fund the construction of a fish passage facility at the Gourlay Creek Dam/water reservoir in Columbia County, Oregon. The City of Scappoose owns and manages close to half of the Gourlay Creek Watershed including high quality habitat above and below the Gourlay Creek Dam. Gourlay Creek Dam has been identified as a key limiting factor in the re-generation of salmon and trout in the Gourlay Creek Watershed. Currently it provides a complete barrier to fish passage for Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed salmonids, as well as to salmonids that are under status review for ESA listing. Historically, Gourlay Creek has provided important salmonid habitat within the Scappoose Bay Watershed. Salmonids still utilize the lower reaches of Gourlay Creek. The goal of the project is to provide unimpeded access for juvenile and adult salmonids to historic habitat upstream of the dam. The project would open up over two miles of habitat for coho and cutthroat trout and nearly four miles of habitat for steelhead.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BPA proposes to fund IDFG to plan and complete construction of fish passage improvements and water conservation activities that are contained within IDFG's Statement of Work (SOW) for the period 7/1/04 to 6/30/05. The funding request contained in their SOW is part of an ongoing IDFG effort to fund anadromous fish passage projects that fall outside the scope of the Mitchell Act. The proposed SOW activities fall within the following four categories: Phase I-Planning and Design (gather data, perform investigations, and exchange information; perform surveys and assessments to be compliant; survey project sites and perform engineering designs; perform contract and project management); Phase II-Construction and Implementation (procure materials and supplies, prepare contracts and solicit bids, plant native seedlings, complete capital improvements); Phase III-Operation and Maintenance (maintain office operations); and Phase IV- Monitoring and Evaluation (monitor and evaluate post-project effects, reporting). The SOW culminates with proposed construction of 18 capital improvement projects (Table 1 attached). The types of capital improvements include: screening gravity water diversions; consolidating and/or eliminating ditches; evaluating and screening pump diversions; evaluating and implementing water conservation activities; constructing screens along migration routes and rearing areas for hatchery and wild salmon; improving upstream and downstream passage for anadromous fish; and maximize benefits to aquatic habitat. Because each of the proposed projects in the SOW is still in the planning stages, the specifics of each still need to be completed.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BPA proposes to fund MFWP to accomplish Phase II of channel stabilization along Graves Creek. The current proposal is very much the same as for Phase I (as per our Oct. 15, 2002 Memo.): stabilize about 4,800 feet of the creek by realigning and shaping the channel; install log and rock vanes, and root wads; install debris jams and cobble patches, and planting native vegetation along the riparian corridor to stabilize the banks. The Phase II work is immediately adjacent and downstream from that the Phase I work that was accomplished in 2002. The purpose of the project is to stabilize that channel, provide for floodplain function, improve rearing and adult holding habitat for westslope cutthroat trout and bull trout.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BPA proposes to fund the construction of a fish passage improvement project on Bear Creek in Grant County, Oregon with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Bear Creek enters the mainstem John Day River at river mile 258.5. At stream mile 0.3 Bear Creek crosses an irrigation diversion, entering Hall Ditch. At times Bear Creek is completely diverted into Hall Ditch. A second diversion from Bear Creek is located 200 feet below the area where Hall Ditch and Bear Creek intercept. As a result of these two diversions, in late summer Bear Creek is essentially dry at the project site. In addition, the diversions are fish barriers at low flow. The objectives for the proposed project include the following: prevent flow from Bear Creek (a Clean Water Act Section 303(d) listed stream for temperature) from mixing with Hall Ditch water; prevent fish from leaving Bear Creek and entering Hall Ditch; ensure fish passage at the project site; and upgrade an existing fish screen to National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) fish screen standards. A number of measures will be implemented to meet these project objectives. The proposed action would prevent mixing of Bear Creek and Hall Ditch waters, and prevent fish from entering Hall Ditch by siphoning (siphon bypass) Hall Ditch under Bear Creek. The proposed project will remove existing, older diversions and plug up the screened irrigation canal currently used by the landowner. The existing diversion structures will be replaced with a fish-friendly diversion. In addition, a NMFS-approved fish screen and a water meter will be installed in the abandoned canal to allow fish passage and monitor water withdrawal by the landowner.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BPA proposes to purchase 2 privately owned parcels totaling approximately 60 acres in the Yakima River Basin in Kittitas County, Washington as part of the Yakima River Side Channels Project. Title to the land will be transferred to the United States Government, Bonneville Power Administration for fish and wildlife habitat protection and enhancement. The goal of this project is to contribute toward the rebuilding of Yakima Basin spring chinook salmon and steelhead populations by improving survival during their first year of life. This will be accomplished by protecting and restoring off-channel rearing habitats associated with the mainstem of the Yakima River. Historically, these habitats have been severely degraded through the construction of transportation corridors, irrigation developments, and diking activities. The subject parcels are located near the Cle Elum reach of the Yakima River which contains a variety of aquatic and riparian habitats that support native fish, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as waterfowl. Conservation of these parcels will contribute to the rebuilding of steelhead and chinook salmon runs in the Yakima River system. These lands are located in a portion of the watershed where a large percentage of the basin's spring chinook salmon spawn. Upon hatching, young salmon fry move into the shallow areas along the river margins to begin their early growth. These parcels contain numerous shallow backwater channels and wetlands that are protected by a thick over-story of native trees and brush. These features are important for the development of the young fish during their first year of life. This project proposes to preserve these 60 acres in their natural condition, which will ensure that this critical fish rearing habitat is maintained in the future.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yakima/Klickitat Fisheries Project - Under the Monitoring and Evaluation Program (M & E), the coho acclimation research task would be modified to include a new site located in the upper Yakima south of Cle Elum, WA. The Yakima Fisheries Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (YFP EIS) (USDOE/BPA 1996) analyzed impacts of undertaking fishery research and mitigation activities in the Yakima River Basin. The EIS focused on the impacts of construction, operation and maintenance of anadromous fish production facilities in order to conduct research designed to increase knowledge of supplementation techniques. Spring chinook were the priority species analyzed in the EIS, however, Coho feasibility studies, potential harvest benefits, and predation impacts for returning natural production of Coho salmon to the Yakima River Basin were also evaluated. Subsequent Supplement Analyses (SA's) have analyzed the potential impacts of research activities relating to this experimental design program (DOE/EIS-0169-SA-01 through SA-07). The purpose of this Supplement Analysis (SA) is to determine if a Supplemental EIS (SEIS) is needed to analyze the changes proposed in the Yakima Klickitat Fisheries Project (YKFP) Coho Program feasibility studies.
