NF Touchet River Reach #2 Implementation Phase 1

Sponsor: Jerry Middel – CTUIR

Location: Middle Touchet River MSA – Priority Restoration and Protection Reach

3 Year Plan: Yes

Project Type: Restoration

$ Request+Match: 401,830 + 165,570 $567,400

Species: Mid-Columbia Steelhead (DPS), Columbia River Bull Trout (DPS), Mid-Columbia

River Chinook

Description: The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation will use these grant funds to implement

designs currently being developed under project 16-1459 to restore fish habitat and connect floodplain on the N.

Touchet River upstream of Dayton, WA. This is a restoration project involving the cooperation of the Tribes, Snake R

Salmon Recovery Board, and at least 3 private landowners – the project will be phased due to size. The overall goal

is to restore much needed salmonid habitat along a priority reach of the N. Touchet. While primarily focused on

juvenile rearing habitat, the project will benefit all life stages of ESA listed mid-Columbia Steelhead, bull trout,

redband trout, and now Chinook salmon that were re-introduced in 2015 -2016.

This phase of the project (site 25+00) involves breaching approximately 200 feet of levee and adding approximately

31 LWD structures to act as roughness and as a mechanism to sort sediment, provide cover habitat and scour pools.

Two alcoves will also be constructed along the project reach to relieve the current "firehouse effect" and provide

approximately 1.5 acres of off-channel habitat for juvenile salmonids. Floodplain connectivity is anticipated to be

increased by approximately 5 acres at the modeled 25 year return flow. Approximately 2 acres will be planted with

native riparian vegetation. This project is in a designated priority restoration reach in the Touchet River major

spawning area, as identified in the Salmon Recovery Plan for SE Washington (2011) and regional three year work

plan.

Goals and Objectives: The goal is to implement a restoration design agreed upon by multiple landowners to restore

the reach to functional system that has connected floodplain (to the extent possible) and improved instream habitat

conditions. This would primarily effect juvenile summer steelhead, and restore natural stream processes over the

1200 foot long project reach, including an additional 1000+ feet of side channels. Specific objectives are:

Create two off-channel alcoves for juvenile rearing increasing off-channel rearing habitat by approximately 2

acres perennially.

Pull approximately 850 linear feet of channel constricting levee and set back to allow up to 5 acres of

floodplain to be reconnected with the stream at a modeled 25 year return flow.

Construct 22 large wood structures to provide juvenile rearing habitat and adult holding and spawning

habitat along 0.42 miles of main and side channel; each structure will either provide velocity reductions and

cover (immediate) or have an associated scour pool (approximately 11 pools).

Riparian plating for approximately 6 acres.

Draft Application LE Meeting (4/18/17) Questions/Comments/Notes:

Does Phase 1 stand alone as a project? Yes, not dependent on upstream components.

How long is Station 25+00? ~1,200 feet and 2 acres of alcoves plus side channels.

Big request (entire project all phases $3+ million), what are the odds of moving forward with just station 25+00? Good, this station makes the most sense to construct first based on design and engineers input.

How do alcoves help with temperature? They are aligned with historic channels on landscape, designed to utilize subsurface flows. They also provide much needed high flow refuge and will be connected at higher flows.

Will alcoves be a death trap for fish? No, designed to be connected at the bottom (not isolated). SRSRB RTT Meeting (4/19/17) Questions/Comments/Notes: None.

14

Project Tour Questions/Comments/Notes (5/31-6/1/17):

The project has been scaled-back to reduce cost. Please update the application to reflect this change in scope and cost. The river eroded the levee in the general location of the proposed levee removal near station 27+00. Since the river has effectively eroded this section of the levee naturally, the design needs to be updated to account for this change and the budget adjusted accordingly. Please submit revised design and the preliminary design report for Review Panel to review and comments with final application submittal. Since the design for this project was conditioned (#16-1459), the Review Panel has provided comments on the conceptual design and will continue to do so for the preliminary design work.

Mill Creek Passage – Park to Otis

Sponsor: Brian Burns – Tri-State Steelheaders

Location: Mill Creek MSA – Priority Restoration and Protection Reach

3 Year Plan: Yes


Request+Match: 826,097 + 150,000 $976,097


River Chinook

Description: This project will begin implementation of fish passage improvement designs that were completed in

June 2017 (project 15-1324) by the Tri-State Steelheaders. In this phase, Tri-State Steelheaders will remodel 880

feet of Mill Creek's concrete flood control channel to provide hydraulic conditions favorable for passage of adult and

juvenile salmonids. Flood control measures on Mill Creek include a concrete channel that extends over two miles

through Walla Walla. The Mill Creek Barrier Assessment of the concrete channel completed in 2009 identified and

described barriers for ESA listed steelhead and bull trout, and for reintroduced spring Chinook. Returning adults

encounter flow dependent depth and velocity barriers, and a lack of resting opportunities. Juvenile fish encounter low

spring flows, and high water temperatures in late spring. Often by mid-May, adults and juveniles become trapped in

the flood control channel where they experience lethal temperatures. Many of these passage issues are considered

imminent threats in the Snake River Salmon Recovery Plan. Upstream of the flood control project, there are over 50

miles of Mill Creek and headwater tributaries that are considered to be critical and under-utilized for spawning and

rearing of ESA listed species. Providing passage to the upper watershed provides for an important recovery

opportunity for those listed fish, as well as good habitat for other native fish and reintroduction efforts for spring

Chinook. This project is the fifth of many projects necessary to restore fish passage through the two mile concrete

channel. Following completion of this project phase, ~2,500 feet (25%) of channel will have improved passage.

Goals and Objectives: The goals of the project are to improve low flow passage for juvenile and adult steelhead,

bull trout, and spring chinook, improve high flow passage for adult steelhead, bull trout, and spring chinook, and

provide resting opportunities where none currently exist.

Project objectives are to implement final fish passage designs for approximately 880 feet of Mill Creek channel. The

project will address low flow and high flow barriers, and will incorporate resting pools providing fish passage through

a 1,100 foot section of Mill Creek at multiple life stages for steelhead, Chinook, and bull trout. Specifically:

Reconfigure concrete baffles in Mill Creek channel – This proposal: 7 existing baffles will be removed, and

30 will be installed; Project total: 16 existing baffles removed, 65 installed.

Install surface roughness to provide a low velocity boundary layer for discharges up to 320 cfs. This

proposal: Forty 7’x10’ panels will cover 400 feet in length of channel (2,800 square feet). Project Total: One

hundred and ten 7’x10’ panels will cover 1,100 feet in length of channel (7,700 square feet)

Install 5 resting pools in the concrete channel – pools are 12 feet by 7 feet, covering 60 feet in length of

channel. Project total: Install 16 resting pools, covering 192 feet of channel length


Are there plans for monitoring? Yes, design engineers have been monitoring flows; current implementation has met passage and design criteria.

How many feet are there in total, how much is left? 2.2 miles or ~10,000 feet, 1,600 feet completed to date. Access is the number one prioritizing factor for the identified reaches.

Are there any problems with debris after implementation? Not yet, seems like it is self-cleaning.

Where is match coming from and how much? No match from WW Basin Council as hoped, verbal from CTUIR, looking for other match.

Is there an estimate of fish entering Mill Creek? Not at this time. There is a camera on Bennington ladder.

SRSRB RTT Meeting (4/19/17) Questions/Comments/Notes:

Imminent threat determination – local scale for scoring purposes (split decision) – imminent threat determination updated to a population level at the 7/10/17 RTT Voting Membership meeting.

The whole population has to pass through; from a recovery plan perspective, without significant number of fish from Mill Creek, Walla Walla MPG isn’t viable.

Consider cost effectiveness for next year; also concern regarding this, don’t evaluate on cost effectiveness.


The project is seeking to provide fish passage through 880 ft of the concrete lined channel of Mill Creek from Park and Otis. The design is similar to other recently completed projects and it is an opportune time to access the channel given access will be difficult after construction of two news buildings at Whitman College in 2018. Consider opportunities to introduce groundwater into the concrete-lined channel by excavating pockets through the concrete bed to help address thermal issues. During the site visit, the sponsor mentioned there are areas where groundwater has been observed upwelling through seams in the concrete. Additionally, consider reviewing the effects of incision on the downstream reaches of Mill Creek. Is there an approach that could provide a more comprehensive solution to address those issues as well (not as part of this particular funding, but as a longer-term comprehensive restoration plan). Please provide a detailed cost estimate. Lead Entity – Final Scoring and Ranking Meeting (7/20/17):

Mill Creek Passage – Segment E1 Design


Location: Mill Creek MSA – Priority Restoration and Protection Reach

3 Year Plan: Yes

Project Type: Design Only

Request+Match: 79,294 + 0 $79,294


River Chinook

Description: Flood measures on Mill Creek in Walla Walla include a levee-confined channel with 263 energy-

dissipating stabilizers (weirs). The stabilizers span the channel width, creating low flow fish passage problems. The

Tri-State Steelheaders will use funding to complete final designs for fish passage improvements at nine of the

stabilizers, and create a low flow channel. The stabilizers were identified as barriers in the Mill Creek Barrier

Assessment completed in 2009. ESA listed steelhead and bull trout, and reintroduced spring chinook utilize the flood

control channel during migrations. Often by mid-May adults and juveniles become trapped in the flood control channel

where they experience lethal temperatures. Many of these passage issues are considered imminent threats in the

Snake River Salmon Recovery Plan. Mill Creek, upstream of the flood control project, is a critical and under-utilized

area for spawning and rearing of ESA listed species, and provides for an important recovery opportunity for those

listed fish, as well as good habitat for other native fish and reintroduction efforts for spring Chinook.

Goals and Objectives: The goals of the project are to improve low flow passage for juvenile and adult steelhead,

bull trout, and spring chinook, and improve thermal and habitat conditions.

Project objectives are to improve fish passage and thermal and habitat conditions for approximately 565 feet of Mill

Creek channel. Specifically, complete design and bid documents for a construction project to:

Add a passage notch to nine weirs

Create a 565 foot thalweg between the weirs to concentrate low flow.


Will WW County provide cost share? Yes, but uncertain.

What is the best case scenario for match? Maybe 50/50% (original total budget was $633,534).

Why these 9 baffles? These are the two ends that need to be replaced, channel thalweg will be created too.

Would this reach be planted for shade? No, ACOE policy.

If not funded, would the replacement baffles have to be notched for passage? Not likely, could be “fixed” under maintenance. NOAA would require consultation, require passage, but would be tough (ACOE has been tough to work with on this).


Imminent threat determination – local scale for scoring purposes (split decision) – project has since been modified to a design only, population level doesn’t apply.

The whole population has to pass through; from a recovery plan perspective, without significant number of fish from Mill Creek, Walla Walla MPG isn’t viable.

Consider cost effectiveness for next year; also concern regarding this, don’t evaluate on cost effectiveness. Project Tour Questions/Comments/Notes (5/31-6/1/17):

Please provide details about the cost estimate. Are there cost savings by modifying the notch design from SRFB project # 09-1586 for the proposed notch design? During the site visit, the sponsor said the design cost is primarily for the low flow channel. Provide an itemized list of design tasks with associated costs to provide clarity on how the costs were determined and if there are any cost savings.

19

Please provide additional information about the overall funding and prioritization strategy for providing fish passage in the Mill Creek flood control channel. The Review Panel understands the Umatilla Tribe recently prepared the Lower Mill Creek Habitat and Passage Assessment and Strategic Plan. Will funding and local support be sought to implement the action plan items recommended in this report and if so, how will investment and timing of the proposed design complement the action items should the local partners decide to move forward with the recommendations? Integration of efforts with this work would seem to be most efficient. Please provide a map labeling all 9 weirs proposed for replacement and distinguishing the 2 weirs the county is required to replace. Lead Entity – Final Scoring and Ranking Meeting (7/20/17):

Bridge to Bridge Restoration – Phase 2


Location: Walla Walla River MSA – Priority Restoration Reach

3 Year Plan: Yes


Request+Match: 430,461 + 80,000 $510,461


River Chinook

Description: The Bridge to Bridge Restoration Design completed in 2010 (RCO project #08-2028) developed

preliminary plans for nearly two miles of the Walla Walla River near Lowden, WA. Final designs were completed for

the upper third of the 2 mile design reach, and implementation of those plans was completed in 2013 (Phase 1). Final

designs are now complete for the remaining part of the design reach (developed through RCO project #14-1902).

This current proposal is to implement restoration Phase 2 of 4.

Tri-State Steelheaders will address limiting factors by placing logs and log structures along 0.6 miles of the Walla

Walla River to improve channel complexity, maintain pools, create off-channel areas, and encourage side channels.

A terrace will be excavated to re-establish riparian vegetation on an eroding meander bank, with associated minor

channel re-alignment. Riparian plantings will address limiting factors by increasing shade and improving riparian

function. This section of the Walla Walla River is identified by The Snake River Salmon Recovery Plan as a priority

restoration reach in the Walla Walla mainstem major spawning area. Adult and juvenile summer steelhead and spring

Chinook use the project reach during their migrations and Bull Trout occur there seasonally. Other species of cultural

value and state concern that utilize the project reach are Margined Sculpin, Leopard Dace, and River Lamprey.

Goals and Objectives:

The goals of the project are to improve width/depth ratio in the project reach, improve pool and cover habitat in the project reach, increase instream complexity, improve riparian buffer width and function in the project reach, increase shading to reduce thermal loading, and create self-sustaining conditions to maintain improved habitats. Specific project objectives are to:

Increase large wood in the project reach to at least one piece per stream width

Increase pool and cover habitat by installing 30 large wood structures

Improve floodplain function and wood recruitment with 5,000 new riparian plants

Improve 2,800 feet of side channel and off-channel areas by installing 24 large wood structures

Install 13 wood structures to increase floodplain inundation and hyporheic exchange


Is this the same proposal as last year? Yes, 98% the same.

Were the Review Panel’s concerns from last year addressed? Not with more wood at this point, working to balance cost/benefit. Will try to add more wood, not highly engineered, but more habitat.

How certain are we that the landowners are on board? 100%, there is just one landowner.

Where is the cost share coming from? Unknown at this point, working on that. Hoping to reduce costs with PALS in side channel using WCC crew (for planting too).

What is the total length of project? ~3000 feet of channel and side channel.

Is there juvenile Chinook rearing in the reach now? Yes, high losses seen by CTUIR now. SRSRB RTT Meeting (4/19/17) Questions/Comments/Notes: None. Project Tour Questions/Comments/Notes (5/31-6/1/17):

The current project proposal does not differ from the previous proposal submitted for funding in 2016 (#16-2098). The Review Panel comments from #16-2098 apply to this project as well. The final Review Panel comment form conditioned this project with the following language: “The Bridge to Bridge Restoration Project-Phase 2 scope of work

21

shall be expanded to include additional large wood with or without root wads to be placed in currently proposed apex and flow deflection jams to augment their size and stability. Alternatively, the larger meander jam or other existing designs could be adapted for different locations to create additional jams outside of the meander bend. The Review Panel recognizes that additional funds will be needed to procure more wood and to modify engineering designs; however, we feel that a combination of larger and more stable jams, as well as a higher number of jams in the mainstem Walla Walla River will better address the fish habitat deficiencies within this reach of the river and mitigate for the channel filling and bank protection along the meander bend. “ The Review Panel remains concerned about the primary focus of large wood placement along a meander bend for bank protection and understands the sponsor is attempting to keep the costs down by not adding additional wood to the design as stated in the condition language. Consider scaling back the project area and/or modifying the design to redistribute the wood from the bank protection along the meander bend to create additional wood structures in locations suitable for the desired life stage(s) and types of fish habitat. Without these changes the relative habitat benefit for this project is fairly limited. Lead Entity – Final Scoring and Ranking Meeting (7/20/17):

Asotin IMW Monitoring 2017

Sponsor: Steve Bennett – Eco Logical Research Inc.

Location: Asotin Creek MSA – Priority Restoration and Protection Reach

3 Year Plan: Yes

Project Type: Monitoring

Request+Match: 150,000 + 253,529 $403,529

(Monitoring proposal max 10% of Regional allocation)

Species: Snake River Steelhead (DPS), Snake River Spring/Summer Chinook (ESU)

Columbia River Bull Trout (DPS)

Description: ELR Inc is the project sponsor and the project type is a monitoring project. This request is to support

ongoing monitoring in the Asotin Creek Intensively Monitored Watershed project (Asotin IMW). The project was

started in 2008 and is expected to run until 2019. The funds are being requested to support i) juvenile steelhead PIT

tagging and mark-recapture surveys and replace damaged PIT tag array equipment, and ii) habitat monitoring using

the Columbia Habitat Monitoring protocol (CHaMP). These two monitoring efforts are being used to assess the

effectiveness of large woody debris restoration at increasing juvenile productivity in Asotin Creek. Three tributaries in

Asotin Creek need to be monitored: Charley Creek, North Fork Asotin Creek, and South Fork Asotin Creek. It is

critical at this stage in the Asotin IMW to maintain the basic monitoring levels to ensure that the goals of the IMW can

be completed: namely to determine the effectiveness of LWD restoration methods, determine the casual mechanisms

of habitat and fish responses, and to provide recommendations for implementing LWD restoration in other

watersheds. The extent of fish monitoring is 12 sites 300-500 m in length, 4 in each tributary (see attached map). The

extent of the habitat monitoring is 12 CHaMP sites (length 160-200 m) in Charley and North Fork Creek – Tetra Tech

is funding CHaMP monitoring in South Fork Creek in 2017. This project will support the ESA listed summer steelhead

recovery. All of the fish and habitat data collected will be made publically available in the PTAGIS (ptagis.org) and on

the CHaMP website (champmonitoring.org). Analyses of the data will be conducted with other funds provided to the

Asotin IMW by PSMFC.

Goals and Objectives: Project goals are to monitor juvenile steelhead populations pre- and post-restoration and

determine 1) if populations responded to restoration, 2) what habitat changes were linked to fish responses, and 3)

how to extrapolate the results to other watersheds. Objectives are to:

Continue monitoring at permanent Fish (12) and Habitat (18) sites in IMW study area

Partially or completely replace components of all of five PIT tag antennae arrays damaged in during 2017

spring floods

Manage and analyze the data

Restoring Native Riparian on Pataha Creek

Sponsor: Duane Bartels – Pomeroy Conservation District

Location: Pataha Creek MSA – Priority Protection Reach

3 Year Plan: Yes


Request+Match: 22,000 + 6,000 $28,000

Species: Snake River Steelhead (DPS)

Description: The Pomeroy Conservation District will use this grant to restore native woody riparian species,

specifically, willow and cottonwood, to approximately 6 acres along 4 miles of Pataha Creek. The project is located 15

miles downstream of Pomeroy, WA, between the Hwy 127-Hwy 12 junction and where Archer Rd meets Hwy 12.

Restoring native woody riparian species will benefit steelhead by addressing many of the limiting factors that have

been identified in Pataha Creek, including: fine sediment, lack of large woody debris, poor habitat diversity, poor

habitat quality, high temperature and poor riparian function. This project is proposed in a major spawning area,

priority protection reach for ESA listed mid-Columbia Steelhead and is identified as a priority in the Snake River

Salmon Recovery Plan for SE Washington (2011) and three year work plan. Reed canary grass, an invasive

perennial grass, is the dominant riparian vegetation along Pataha Creek, and has promoted an incised and simplified

channel with cohesive vertical banks that limit the creek's ability to create complex habitat. Restoring native woody

vegetation will mitigate the influence of reed canary grass, create a source of woody material to promote more

complex habitat and provide an important source of forage for beaver populations to promote beaver activity. This

project will also support existing in-stream structures designed to increase floodplain connectivity in order to improve

the success of riparian plantings by increasing plant access to water.

Goals and Objectives: The goal of the proposed project is to create a functioning riparian area to improve stream

health and steelhead habitat by restoring native woody riparian vegetation along Pataha Creek. A functioning riparian

area provides flow refugia for juvenile steelhead during high flow events, promotes sediment deposition, decreases

stream temperatures by providing shading, and can provide a source of woody material to the stream to promote the

formation of pool-riffle habitat for spawning. Another goal of this project to provide a food and dam building source for

beaver to expand their habitat along Pataha Creek. This goal could enhance current projects designed to increase

instream and floodplain conditions in Pataha Creek (previous SRFB 14-1903 and DOE Beaver Dam analog project).

The objective of our proposed project is to establish clusters of native woody riparian vegetation along Pataha Creek

by 2020. While the proposed treatment reach spans four miles of stream, we anticipate significant difficulties due to

unpredictable flow patterns, competition from reed canary grass and beaver herbivory. There is almost no native

woody vegetation in the treatment reach – so our objective is to establish 20-40 clusters of native woody vegetation

(a cluster being 5-10 stems in 100 yard stretch of stream) along the treatment reach each year. The hope is that

these clusters will begin to expand if they establish and can outcompete the reed canary grass.


Is fish passage a problem with the BDA’s installed or with beaver? No, the structures aren’t static, beaver and salmon/steelhead co-evolved.

SRSRB RTT Meeting (4/19/17) Questions/Comments/Notes: None. Project Tour Questions/Comments/Notes (5/31-6/1/17):

This project is seeking to address the incision and invasive plants that are affecting the function of Pataha Creek. The creek is incised deeply and will take a huge effort to reconnect to the original floodplain, but an additional inset floodplain may be achievable and some progress in this area has already been made as shown by the 8 pilot BDAs in the creek. There are other groups working on reduction of reed canary grass and these data should be included in the application with respect to how this approach is informed by those efforts and successes (King County, Mason County, Jill Silver’s work). Additional strategies such as clumping plantings and using stock that is 1 inch or greater may help to provide sustainable seed sources and increase the survival of plantings.

Touchet River Conceptual Restoration Plan

Sponsor: Justin Pearson – Columbia Conservation District

Location: Middle and Upper Touchet River MSA – Priority Restoration and Protection

Reaches

3 Year Plan: Yes

Project Type: Planning (Assessment)

Request+Match: 211,153 + 37,290 $248,443


River Chinook

Description: The Columbia Conservation District (CCD) will use this grant to develop a conceptual restoration plan

for the Touchet River and tributaries in Columbia and Walla Walla Counties. The project is located in the middle and

upper Touchet River major spawning area (MSA) and Patit Creek minor spawning area (mSA) as identified in the SE

WA Salmon Recovery Plan (2011). These tributaries are inhabited by native ESA threatened Mid-Columbia steelhead

and Bull Trout and re-introduced spring Chinook Salmon. The planning process will expand upon existing information

from the Touchet River Geomorphic Assessment (GeoEngineers, 2011, PRISM #09-1593); conduct habitat surveys;

identify priority stream reaches and habitat enhancement potential; and develop conceptual restoration designs. The

guiding principle of this restoration plan will be to focus on improving the habitat factors limiting salmonid production

and survival. To meet this goal, we will work closely with the Snake River Salmon Recovery Board, Regional

Technical Team, co-managers, Walla Walla Co Cons Dist, Bonnevilee Power Administration, landowners, and other

partners at all stages of the project to ensure high priority salmonid limiting factors and restoration actions are

identified. This project is identified in the Snake River Salmon Recovery Plan and regional work plan in WRIA 32

Assessment and Planning Restoration. Deliverables will serve as the basis of future restoration project development

in both the MSA and mSA..

Goals and Objectives: The goal of this project is to expand upon the geomorphic/watershed assessments, build a

prioritized conceptual restoration plan for the identified watersheds and to produce at least conceptual reach designs

for as much of the project areas identified throughout the project that addresses the current degraded habitat

condition and function by increasing channel complexity and confinement, restoration of riparian areas, and

implement BMP’s on distinct potential project areas. Specific project objectives are:

Use existing data and support from the existing Touchet Geomorphic Assessment while filling in the gaps of information to complete a conceptual restoration plan.

Develop a citizen work group and work with the Voluntary Stewardship Program’s Watershed Work Group (WWG) to develop working relationships and seek input and feedback on the conceptual restoration plan to make it implementable.

Coordinate and collaborate amongst local technical partners and landowners throughout the project to assist in scoping and developing the assessment and to provide input and vet project details.

Develop discrete conceptual habitat restoration plans for middle and upper Touchet MSA and Patit mSA stream reaches. The conceptual restoration plan will be used to communicate project concepts that address the identified limiting factors incorporating information that has been gleaned through the assessment process with input from project partners. This plan will include project prioritization for the watersheds identified in this proposal and will provide the basis to move forward to final design and project implementation.


Witnessed good spawning below Boles Bridge, will project go below? Staying within the MSA, budget limited.

Fundamentally this project is important, RTT comments and two letters of support (BPA and CTUIR) for the project were passed along.


None. Previously discussed in March, see notes above.

This application includes a logical approach for prioritization of work in the Touchet River using a similar strategy to that used in the Tucannon basin to develop a conceptual restoration plan. This plan will allow for more effective long-term planning and implementation of projects in that basin. Due to the larger number of land owners in the Touchet Basin, additional information should be included on the plan for land owner outreach and how land owner involvement and approval will be facilitated. Additionally, scoping of the project will likely be straighter forward if the criteria for project selection/prioritization in the basin are defined early on in the process. Involvement of landowners or other stakeholders in this process would likely help to facilitate support at the local level. Please include some examples of potential selection criteria in your final application. Lead Entity – Final Scoring and Ranking Meeting (7/20/17):

Alpowa Creek Instream PALS – Phase II

Sponsor: Brad Johnson – Palouse/Pomeroy Conservation District

Location: Alpowa River MSA – Priority Restoration and Protection Reach

3 Year Plan: Yes


Request+Match: 83,300 + 14,700 $98,000


Description: The Pomeroy CD will use this grant to improve instream wood and pool habitat for juvenile and adult

wild steelhead in the Alpowa Creek watershed west of Clarkston, Wa. The CD will install approximately 200 Post

Assisted Logs Structures (PALS) in a 2 mile reach located in prime steelhead spawning and rearing habitat that was

identified with SRFB Project 11-1576 Alpowa Habitat Assessment. Expanding restoration efforts of SRFB Project 13-

1399 Alpowa Instream Post Assisted Log Structures that installed 202 PALS upstream in the 2014/15 field seasons.

PALS are a cost effective way to install instream structure without damaging the existing riparian habitat and leaving

a small footprint. SRFB Project 11-1576 identified a need for more wood and pool habitat within the Alpowa creek

watershed; the proposed project will increase pool habitat from the current 2.8 pools per 100 meters to over 8

suitable pools per 100 meters. No fishing is allowed within this watershed, yet landowners understand the importance

of this population and have agreed to the installation of instream habitat to support wild steelhead.

Goals and Objectives: The goal of this project is to increase habitat quantity and quality in Alpowa Creek,

specifically pools, bars and wood which appear to be low compared to similar surveys in Asotin Creek. Specific

project objectives are:

Install 200 PALS between 2018 and 2019 where there are available floodplain and landowner support.

Increase the available pool habitat from current condition of 2.8 pools/100meters to more than 8 pools/100 meters over the two year period.


MOU between Palouse and Pomeroy CD’s on project

Project is currently in CREP, no disturbance planned in riparian.

Landowner intereste after seeing VSP.

What are the numbers of adult steelhead in Alpowa? ~162 wild adults/year at weir over the last several years.


This project is focused on installation of additional PALS in Alpowa Creek, a steelhead stream. This builds on the work of the Pomeroy CD which installed Phase 1 already. The number of pools in the creek was increased as a result of the first phase. Please provide data on the effects of Phase 1 on the level of steelhead spawning in the creek – did the project lead to increases in spawning? The difference in the photos included in the application is striking – be sure to identify that those are only one month apart! Alpowa does not seem to have a temperature issue or a sediment issue as it is spring fed, so these structures would be primarily for pool formation. That being said, there is also a fairly intact riparian corridor along the creek. The land owner stated that the CREP funding he is receiving is not matching what he would earn from allowing cattle to graze in the area. He also stated that if the area came out of CREP he would likely thin the area to open it up for cattle. Thinning the riparian area (light touch) would likely provide some benefits to the creek in terms of introducing some larger, more complex (branched) trees to this system. It is recommended that the design approach include some addition of larger trees (on site trees would work) to the creek and not just install PALS to add further diversity and structure to the stream. Please also comment on the priority of this creek as compared to others in the area/basin. This creek seems like it is in pretty good shape, so maybe there are others that need help more right now?

Tucannon salmonid survival & habitat utilization 2

Sponsor: Ethan Crawford – Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife

Location: Tucannon River MSA – Priority Restoration and Protection Reach

3 Year Plan: Yes

Project Type: Planning (Assessment)

Request+Match: 218,958 + 55,000 $273,958


Columbia River Bull Trout (DPS)

Description: WDFW will use this grant to perform an assessment that will evaluate the abundance of juvenile spring

Chinook salmon and summer steelhead in the fall, their survival through four segments of the Tucannon River and in

the Snake River between its confluence with the Tucannon and Lower Monumental Dam, their seasonal distribution

within CHaMP monitoring sites and treatment/control strata, as well as winter habitat utilization via mobile PIT tag

detection. The proposed project builds upon two previous SRFB-funded projects (15-1322; 16-2095) to yield life-

stage-specific survival rates for wild-origin juvenile sp. Chinook salmon and summer steelhead in the Tucannon

based on survival and distribution of PIT tagged fish. This suite of information will provide critical information to

identify limiting factors and prioritize restoration actions being implemented in the basin. In addition to the

overwintering survival that past projects have investigated, we would quantify egg-to-parr survival which may identify

deficiencies in incubation, high flow, or summer survival. This project will attempt to identify if, when, and where the

population bottlenecks exist and will provide a prioritized list of restoration actions to address emerging limiting

factors.

Goals and Objectives: The goal of this project is to identify life-stage- and reach-specific survival, abundance, and

habitat utilization (i.e., seasonal distribution of fall-tagged fish), and to use this information to identify restoration

priorities and potential population limiting factors. Specific project objectives are:

Estimate survival of fall-tagged parr to the lower Tucannon River and Lower Monumental Dam.

Calculate reach-specific survival rates in the upper, middle, and lower Tucannon River according to

successful migration of tagged individuals past instream PIT tag detection sites.

Describe the spatial distribution of overwintering juvenile spring Chinook salmon and steelhead within the

Tucannon River mainstem with fine-scale habitat associations determined through mobile detection surveys.

Produce unbiased estimates of fall parr abundance that can be used to infer egg-to-parr survival and build

fish-habitat relationships from associated CHaMP habitat information.


Pursing additional BPA funding for this.

The Lower/Middle Tucannon is a migratory corridor designation for sp. Chinook, do you see them there? Yes, wintering in the middle Tucannon reach.

What would we like to see for juvenile survival? At least 2-3 times higher than current number suggest. Project is to identify where and why.

What is the time period of fish movement? After tagging, late fall-overwinter.

Make sure we are clear on what data has been collected to date and what additional data will provide. 2018-19 is critical for project; additionally lifecycle of steelhead is such that we need 2018-19 data for more complete picture.


This application describes a well thought out approach to monitoring salmonid survival and utilization in the Tucannon River. These data could be used to further define the relative survival of life stages in the Tucannon, which would help to focus the restoration efforts more specifically. This is an important data gap to be filled for the refinement of restoration strategies in the basin and could be used as an example for other basins. Please identify in the application

32

how partnerships with other programs – BPA AEM, CTUIR – might be integrated to provide additional observations of tagged fish as a part of localized project surveys for restoration effectiveness. Lead Entity – Final Scoring and Ranking Meeting (7/20/17):
