YAKIMA BASIN FISH & WILDLIFE RECOVERY BOARD

Quarterly Report

Oct – Dec 2014

Board Activities Report for October1 – December 31, 2014

Lead Entity Program

Board staff travelled to Olympia to present the Ranked Lead Entity Project list that was approved in August to the State Technical Review Panel (on 10/28) and the SRFB (on 12/3). The State Technical Review Panel did not identify any projects of concern, and on December 3, the SRFB approved a total of $1,289,758 to fund the 10 projects on the 2014 Yakima Project List. The approved list is included in this quarterly report. Several area newspapers ran stories on the funding award (see copies of newspaper stories in outreach section of the report). The Lead Entity Coordinator has also been working with the review committees and project sponsors to review and improve the grant process for 2015. The 2015 grant round schedule and the revised Lead Entity Manual will be released soon.

Recovery Planning and Implementation

Board staff continue to actively support implementation of priority actions identified in the Yakima Steelhead Recovery Plan through participation in multiple working groups. During this quarter, staff participated in the 10/22 and 12/17 Yakima Basin Integrated Plan Workgroup meetings and the 12/11 YBIP Joint Subcommittee meeting, the Little Naches Collaborative Group, the Gold Creek and Yakima Delta Technical Working Groups, the Yakima Tributary Access and Habitat Program and the Upper Yakima Working Group. Staff also worked with partners to support City of Yakima Floodplain Projects and other funded SRFB projects.

The Board submitted comments on the USFWS’s draft Bull Trout Recovery Plan, and on the Bureau of Reclamation’s proposed Upper Yakima Bull trout Enhancement Program. The Board co-convened a Bull Trout working group meeting with USFWS on 11/18 that focused on next steps in implementing priority actions identified the 2012 Yakima Bull Trout Action Plan developed by the Board and its partners.

Recovery Monitoring and Evaluation

During this quarter, the Board worked with partners and NOAA Fisheries to assemble biological data on steelhead population status for use in NOAA’s upcoming five year review of the listing status of Mid-Columbia Steelhead. A coordinating meeting was held on 11/7 and information was submitted by the 11/30 deadline. Staff continue to work development of a Threats Assessment report that reviews progress towards the fish and habitat goals identified in the Middle Columbia Steelhead Recovery Plan. The Board will provide the final report to NOAA Fisheries prior to the March 30 deadline for input to the NOAA 2015 Five Year Review. Staff also worked with an intern from Central Washington University who completed an analysis of floodplain restoration progress in the Gap to Gap reach of the Yakima River. The Recovery Program Coordinator resigned at the end of November.

Outreach

The Board’s draft Outreach and Communication Plan was reviewed by the Executive Committee during this quarter. A letter of interest was sent to GSRO requesting funding to continue to develop and implement communications plans. An outreach committee meeting was held on 10/31. More detail on outreach activities is provided in the Outreach Section of this report.

Statewide Coordination

The Lead Entity Coordinator is the chair of the Washington Salmon Coalition, which represents all of the Lead Entities in the state. The WSC met on 10/1 and 12/2. Both the Lead Entity Coordinator (as chair of WSC) and the Executive Director participated in monthly coordinating meetings aimed at improving statewide coordination among salmon recovery programs. The Executive Director participates in the Council of Regions, which met on 10/2 and via phone.

Board Logistics

The Board has run smoothly during this quarter. A Board meeting was held on October 9, and the Executive Committee met

on Nov 24. The final audited financial statement and draft IRS 990 for the last fiscal year were completed in this quarter.
