Description
There have been two prior projects funded to plan, scope and implement projects. Those two projects were funded from the 2004 (008 04 SA S1) and the 2005 PCSRF (037 05 SA S2) appropriations. This is the third project approved to continue planning, scoping and oversight of projects in the Upper Salmon Watershed Basin. Funding from this project provided resources to the Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Project to continue the effective use of PCSRF monies, including but not limited to identifying priority PCSRF habitat restoration projects. The primary objective of the Upper Salmon Basin Watershed Project was to focus on limiting factors under the Endangered Species Act listed anadromous fish in pre-implementation planning and scoping. The USBWP continued to build on accomplishments achieved through previous PCSRF grants and continued to work with willing landowners, local Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the USBWP Technical Team, Idaho Department of Water Resources, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, BPA, Fish and Wildlife Service, BLM and other partner agencies to effectively plan and implement habitat restoration projects benefiting ESA listed anadromous fish in the upper Salmon basin.
During this project period the Whitefish Ditch Closure project/Alternative Stock water project # 012 07 SA and the next phase of Planning and Technical PCSRF project 051 08 SA S4 were planned, submitted for funding to the Idaho PCSRF Board and funded from the Round 7 request for projects held on October 30, 2008. An education and outreach project was planned and submitted for PCSRF funding but was not approved. It was then submitted for BPA funding and approved.
Oversight and implementation work continued on the following PCSRF projects. 1. Sulphur Creek/P-13 Barrier Removal-050 05 SA, 2. Big Timber Reconnect and Upper Lemhi Flow Enhancement via Whitefish Ditch-007 06 SA Ph2, 3. Lower Iron Creek Culvert-053 05 SA, and 4. Lower Lemhi Side-Channel Enhancement-054 05 SA. During this project term, the Sulphur Creek/P-13 Barrier Removal -050 05 SA project was completed.
In addition, the staff prepared and presented informational and educational programs about PCSRF projects and related resource issues to various local agencies, schools, and community groups. There were some milestone delays during this project due to staff vacancies, but those delays did not significantly impact the project.
Project Benefit
This project will identify and implement Salmon Habitat Protection and Restoration projects that will remove fish barriers, improve fish passage, reconnect disconnect flows, and improve riparian habitat for Snake River Basin ESU steelhead and Snake River ESU spring-summer run Chinook salmon, bull trout, westslope cutthroat, and redband rainbow trout in the Salmon sub-basin.

Description and scope of the plan implemented | |
The Salmon Subbasin Management Plan is the third volume of the Salmon Subbasin Plan. The Salmon Subbasin Plan was developed as part of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s (NPCC) Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program to help direct Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) funding of projects in the Salmon subbasin that mitigate for damage to fish and wildlife caused by the development and operations of the Columbia River’s hydropower system. The Salmon Subbasin Management Plan was developed in an open public process that included the participation of a wide range of state, federal, local, and tribal governments, local managers, landowners, and other stakeholders.
The Salmon Subbasin Plan includes three interrelated volumes that describe the characteristics, management, and vision for the future of the Salmon subbasin:
Assessment (Volume 1)—The assessment examines the biological potential of the Salmon subbasin to support key habitats and species, and limiting factors that reduce this potential. The assessment describes existing and historic resources and conditions within the subbasin, focal species and habitats, environmental conditions, out-of-subbasin impacts, ecological relationships, and limiting factors, and it provides a final synthesis and interpretation.
Inventory (Volume 2)—The inventory summarizes fish and wildlife protection, rehabilitation, and artificial production activities and programs within the Salmon subbasin over the last five years or that are about to be implemented. The inventory includes a GAP analysis that analyzes the ability of existing projects to address needs identified in the management plan.
Management Plan (Volume 3)—The management plan defines a vision for the future of the subbasin, and outlines biological goals and strategies to restore and protect aquatic and terrestrial species and habitats to be implemented during the next 10 to 15 years. The management plan includes a research, monitoring, and evaluation plan to determine the success of implemented strategies in addressing limiting factors and to reduce uncertainties and data gaps. The management plan also includes information about the relationship between proposed activities and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Clean Water Act (CWA). The management plan prioritizes objectives and strategies and concludes with final management recommendations. The completed Salmon Subbasin Management Plan was submitted to the NPCC by the Nez Perce Tribe Watershed Division and the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes on May 28, 2004.
