Construct 1.0 miles of riparian fence and associated stream crossings to protect approximately 15 acres of riparian habitat and 0.5 miles of stream affected by livestock grazing, within the riparian areas on South Fork Murderers Creek. Fence will be designed/mapped by Grant Soil and Water Conservation District. The USFS will provide 100% of the fencing materials and all maintenance after project completion will be the responsibility of the USFS Allotment Permittee. OWEB will fund 50% of the fencing contractor labor costs.
The lower portion of the South Fork John Day River is ranked as a Tier 2 priority watershed within the John Day Basin Atlas prioritization. Mid-Columbia steelhead are the focal species for this riparian protection. Riparian condition is fair and the riparian fence will help reduce grazing impacts which in return should help reduce sedimentation and stabilize water temperatures for juvenile fish species. The lower 0.50 miles of Orange Creek is identified as steelhead habitat and roughly another 1.0 mile upstream Redband habitat.

Construct 3.1 miles of riparian fence and associated stream crossings to protect approximately 30 acres of riparian habitat and 1.5 miles of stream affected by livestock grazing along Starveout Creek. Fence will be designed/mapped by Grant Soil and Water Conservation District and installed under a subcontract the SWCD administers.
The North Fork of the John Day watershed is identified as a Tier 1 (highest priority) watershed under the Atlas prioritization for the John Day Basin. Starveout Creek is listed as Essential Salmonid Habitat and steelhead utilize Starveout Creek and chinook are found immediately downstream in Desolation Creek. The riparian area is in fairly good condition and the riparian protection will help promote riparian vegetation growth to provide shade to help maintain cool water temperatures in the late summer months for juvenile fish.
Starveout Creek is a tributary to Desolation Creek and this project will build on riparian protections installed by the program on private lands in the watershed which includes over 14 miles of riparian fence. In addition CTUIR has several restoration projects that have been or will be implemented within this watershed.

Construct 1.30 miles of riparian fence and associated stream crossings to protect approximately 15 acres of riparian habitat and 0.65 miles of stream affected by livestock grazing, within the riparian areas on Fox Creek. Fence will be designed/mapped by Grant Soil and Water Conservation District and installed under a subcontract the GSWCD administers.
The Cottonwood and Long Creek Watersheds were ranked as a Tier 2 priority under the Atlas prioritization framework for the John Day Basin. This portion of Fox Creek is utilized by steelhead. The riparian area is degraded and riparian shrubs and trees are lacking within this section of the watershed. The area to be fenced does however contain a better riparian plant community then much of the nearby area and is an important reach to protect as it is not as severely degraded. Many years of annual grazing has depleted the riparian vegetation throughout the immediate area. The riparian fence will reduce impacts to vegetative growth, which should decrease water temperature and reduce sediment transfer. Many riparian protection and floodplain enhancement projects have been completed in the last few years within this watershed.

Complete a 15 year Cooperative Agreement on Long Creek / Neal property. The John Day Fish Habitat program will provide technical assistance for the 0.55 miles riparian fence and hold with the landowner the 15 year Cooperative Agreement for maintenance. This is a continuation of work from the prior contract (74313 REL 26) and a map of the fence location was uploaded to that contract.
The north side 0.55 miles of riparian fence was constructed in 2018. Logging/thinning was scheduled to occur in upslopes plands during 2018, and then 2019, so the construction of the south riparian fence was put on hold. The logging/thinning is now scheduled for 2020 and the fence will be installed upon completion.
Restoration has occurred within the project area consisting of large wood placement and riparian habitat enhancement and will be fully completed once the fencing is installed. The North Fork Watershed Council is primary sponsor and has received an OWEB grant for construction of in-stream structures and riparian fence materials and labor costs. The ODFW fencing program work will be limited to assistance with fence design and future maintenance.

Plant approximately 500 potted trees and shrubs within the riparian area along Mac Creek. Planting will be phased over several years 2020-2022 with 500 installed each year for a total of 1500 plants installed.
This planting will enhance the riparian condition within a riparian fence installed in 2019 work period. The riparian area is currently lacking in vegetation and planting will help speed riparian recovery. This is a high elevation short growing season area so rooted stock of red osier dogwood and willow will be planted by ODFW Habitat personnel to help jump start vegetative growth. This section of stream is mainly for juvenile rearing for Mid-Columbia steelhead.
Plants will be provided by the CTWS nursery in Prairie City, Oregon.

The is a continuation of work initiated in the last contract and the riparian fence along the north side of Wind Creek was completed in 2019. In 2020 a cattleguard will be installed at the upstream end of the project between the two private landowners. Cattleguard will be provided by the ODFW Wildlife area field office and installed by project staff. Construct 1.0 miles of riparian fence and associated stream crossings to protect approximately 25 acres or riparian habitat and 1.2 miles of stream affected by livestock grazing along Wind Creek, a tributary of the South Fork John Day River. A 15 year Cooperative Agreement will be completed. Fence will be designed/mapped by Grant Soil and Water Conservation District and installed under a subcontract the SWCD administers.
The lower portion of the South Fork John Day River is ranked as a Tier 2 priority watershed within the John Day Basin Atlas prioritization. Riparian conditions within the Wind Creek project area are fair and vegetation protection is intended to help stabilize or reduce stream temperatures and sediment sources. This project will occur on private land and the buffer width is expected to average 40 feet on each side of the creek. While steelhead are the focal species for this project Mid-Columbia Chinook have been sighted at the mouth of Wind Creek.

The lower portion of the South Fork John Day River is ranked as a Tier 2 priority watershed within the John Day Basin Atlas prioritization. There is mid-Columbia steelhead use within this area. The riparian area is in fairly good condition. With the addition of the riparian fence the vegetation should produce more shade and improve late summer water temperatures and help reduce sedimentation.
