Description
Project 2002-035-00:
https://www.cbfish.org/Project.mvc/Display/2002-035-00
The mission of the Gilliam Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is to conserve, protect, and develop soil, water, and other natural resources for the economic and environmental benefit of the residents of Gilliam County. In partnership with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) the district has the ability to develop and implement scientifically sound and economically feasible resource management plans for private landowners at the local level.
This project will implement riparian buffer/herbaceous buffer systems in Gilliam County and address limiting factors identified in the John Day Subbasin Summary. One FTE will be dedicated to the outreach and promotion of state and federal funding programs along with the technical planning support needed to implement approximately 15 riparian buffer agreements in this contract year. Buffer widths will average from 35 to 180 feet on each side of qualifying streams and will include such practices as fencing, riparian plantings and off stream watering facilities to benefit livestock and wildlife. Existing programs, i.e. Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CCRP) and Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), will cover actual implementation costs on a cost-share basis, lease payments, and maintenance costs. Incentive payments are also available to the contract holder. A cost-share incentive amount has been included in the project budget for first year agreements to entice adjoining landowners to participate in the programs when incentives are unavailable from other funding programs. Other funding may also be used as available. Leases will be for 10-15 year periods.
This program meets a critical need in the Lower John Day Basin. Technical staff shortage for conducting assessments and developing plans has created a growing backlog of potential buffer projects. This proje

This WE was carried over from the previous contract (82500 WE I) where ownership complications prevented it from enrollment. Milestones completed under the prior contract have been removed from this scope of work. The SWCD is working to complete the agreement under the prior contract. Milestones included in this contract have been canceled and will be activated if the agreement is not completed under the prior contract. Please contact the COR if the milestones need to be activated.
A new 15 year CREP agreement will be signed resulting in riparian protections. BPA funding is utilized only to cover CREP technician time for conducting outreach, preparing the conservation plan, and providing technical assistance prior to and during implementation. Riparian planting and other management actions are paid by the FSA through a contract with the landowner. The landowner is responsible for all implementation.
A completed water survey form will be uploaded if water rights are associated with the CREP buffer.
Under this CREP Conservation Plan approximately .2 miles of stream will be protected on Thirtymile Creek for 15 years.
Thirtymile Creek represents an important spawning tributary for the summer run Mid-Columbia River
steelhead that utilizes the watershed and is the focus of collaborative restoration efforts intended to support fisheries restoration, improve stream habitat, restore natural stream processes, enhance streamflow, and enhance surface water during base flow conditions.
The ecogeomorphic impairments on Thirtymile Creek are the combined result of historic human-induced impacts that include intensive grazing, intensive agriculture, and the eradication of beaver. Intensive upland grazing has increased surface runoff and reduced rates of precipitation infiltration and aquifer recharge. In addition, grazing has resulted in the reduction of riparian vegetation, which may be slow to reestablish on degraded streams such as Thirtymile Hay Creek.

In addition, grazing has resulted in the reduction of riparian vegetation, which may be slow to reestablish on degraded streams such as Rock Creek.
Although this project has previously been planted continued Riparian protection is need to continue restoration of this reach. This project lies in on of the lower precipitation zones (9 to 10 inches) in Gilliam County where plant growth is extremely slow. In addition on going Technical Assistance will be needed to assure restoration progress is moving in a positive trend.
ODFW is currently doing very extensive Steelhead monitoring and surveys on this reach. In addition ongoing temperature monitoring is being conducted by the Gilliam SWCD on this project reach.

This project does not enroll anadromous fish habitat. However, it is a direct tributary to critical habitat and just above streamnet mapped distribution. The District and ODFW believe that this project will have cumulative effects on downstream habitat by reducing sediment inputs and shading surface water. Thereby improving water quality.
Fencing and fence maintenance will be provided by the ODFW John Day Fish Habitat Enhancement Program and Riparian plantings and herbaceous seedings will be provided by FSA. Landowner is unable to maintain the fence on this project therefore ODFW fencing is needed to complete this project.

Under this CREP Conservation Plan approximately 2.59 miles of stream will be protected on Lonerock Creek for 15 years.
Lonerock Creek (tributary to Rock Creek) represents an important spawning tributary for the summer run Mid-Columbia River steelhead that utilizes the watershed and is the focus of collaborative restoration efforts intended to support fisheries restoration, improve stream habitat, restore natural stream processes, enhance streamflow, and enhance surface water during base flow conditions.
The ecogeomorphic impairments on Lonerock Creek are the combined result of historic human-induced impacts that include intensive grazing, intensive agriculture, and the eradication of beaver. Intensive upland grazing has increased surface runoff and reduced rates of precipitation infiltration and aquifer recharge. In addition, grazing has resulted in the reduction of riparian vegetation, which may be slow to reestablish on degraded streams such as Lonerock Creek.
Riparian Fencing has previously been installed to exclude livestock and the project reach will be heavily planted. With these practices installed it will allow for plant development and natural regeneration to increase shading and reduce sediment input into Lonerock Creek.
This project is directly above a Riparian Fencing project by the BPA funded John Day Habitat Enhancement project which provides Riparian protect downstream 1.16 miles on Lonerock Creek and an additional 5.84 miles on Rock Creek. As a result of collaboration between The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, the Gilliam SWCD, OWEB and NRCS a large Upland Juniper burn occurred in the Fall of 2018 directly upstream from this project. Approximately 5,569 acres of Juniper where controlled with this burn.

Rock Creek represents an important spawning tributary for the summer run Mid-Columbia River steelhead that utilizes the watershed and is the focus of collaborative restoration efforts intended to support fisheries restoration, improve stream habitat, restore natural stream processes, enhance streamflow, and enhance surface water during base flow conditions.
The ecogeomorphic impairments on Rock Creek are the combined result of historic human-induced impacts that include intensive grazing, intensive agriculture, and the eradication of beaver. Intensive upland grazing has increased surface runoff and reduced rates of precipitation infiltration and aquifer recharge. In addition, grazing has resulted in the reduction of riparian vegetation, which may be slow to reestablish on degraded streams such as Rock Creek.
Although this project has previously been planted continued Riparian protection is need to continue restoration of this reach. This project lies in on of the lower precipitation zones (9 to 10 inches) in Gilliam County where plant growth is extremely slow. In addition on going Technical Assistance will be needed to assure restoration progress is moving in a positive trend.
ODFW is currently doing very extensive Steelhead monitoring and surveys on this reach.

A CREP agreement will be renewed for 15 years resulting in continued riparian protections. BPA funding is utilized only to cover CREP technician time for conducting outreach, preparing the conservation plan, and providing technical assistance prior to and during implementation. Riparian planting and other management actions are paid by the FSA through a contract with the landowner. The landowner is responsible for all implementation.
A completed water survey form will be uploaded if water rights are associated with the CREP buffer.

Through collaboration between The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, OWEB and the Gilliam SWCD in 2017 a large irrigation diversion was removed on this project reach. As a result of this project we were able to restore the stream, eliminate fish entrapment concerns, and develop this area as a high-flow side channel that will offer passage and refuge to migrating steelhead.
In 2019 through collaborative efforts from The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, the BPA funded John Day Screen Shop, OWEB and The Gilliam County SWCD a second irrigation diversion was removed on this project reach. . As a result of this project again we were able to restore the stream, eliminate entrapment concerns, and develop this area as a high-flow side channel that will offer passage and refuge to migrating steelhead.

CCR-44614 - Work transferred from prior contract (82500 WE D).
A new CREP agreement will be developed and signed resulting in new riparian fence exclosure funded through the FSA. BPA funding is utilized only to cover CREP technician time for conducting outreach, preparing the conservation plan, and providing technical assistance prior to and during implementation. Fencing installation and other management actions are funded by the FSA through a contract with the landowner. The landowner is responsible for all implementation.
A completed water survey form will be uploaded if water rights are associated with the CREP buffer.
Under this CREP Conservation Plan approximately 1.69 miles of stream will be protected on the North Fork of Butte Creek for 15 years. This project does not enroll anadromous fish habitat. However, it is above critical habitat The District and ODFW believe that this project will have cumulative effects on downstream habitat by reducing sediment inputs and shading surface water. Thereby improving water quality. This project is within the John Day partnership Focus area and will be enrolled adjacent to other owners participating in the program as well as additional conservation work.
