Description
Project 2006-003-00:
https://www.cbfish.org/Project.mvc/Display/2006-003-00
Complete two wetland enhancement projects on the Desert Wildlife Area that have been funded, in part, by BPA. In addition to completing enhancement modifications, the contract will provide funding to operate and maintain the enhanced wetlands for one year to insure that they remain functional. The TD-1 project, if completed, operated, and maintained will restore 7 former wetland basins (now dry or drying) by diverting surface water from the Frenchman Hills wasteway into the former wetland basins. Enhancement at the TD-1 project will include designing and installing a fish screen, excavating cell #2, armoring dikes, seeding disturbed soil resulting from construction activities, and tilling wetland cells. Operation and maintenance at TD-1 will include coordination with BOR and Quincy Irrigation District, inspecting/reparing enhancements, controlling undesirable vegetation, operating water control structures, producing required BPA reports, and administering the contract. The TD-2 project, if completed and maintained, will enhance 19 late-succession stage wetlands adjacent to the Winchester Wasteway by removing accumulated organic material from them and eliminating surface water connection to the wasteway which will allow management of fish populations in the project ponds/wetlands. Enhancement at the TD-2 project will include armoring dikes, removing fish from project ponds, and seeding disturbed soil resulting from construction activities. Operation and maintenance at TD-2 will include inspecting/reparing enhancements, controlling undesirable vegetation, developing and implementing methods to survey submerged aquatic vegetation, producing required BPA reports, and administering the contract. Management of the project wetlands will be used to maximize habitat quality for wetland obligate birds.

Tillage (disking or harrowing) within wetland cells at TD-1 will facilitate "volunteer" growth of desirable moist site vegetation during the growing season and aid in planting desirable moist soil vegetation. Disturbance (i.e., tillage) will stimulate early successional stage vegetation that produce more forage seeds than that of late successional stage plants. Early successional stage wetland vegetation is required by several species of wildlife and is rare on the Desert WA. This task may be done, in part, by a sub-contracted vendor. Activities are regular and ongoing.

Moist soil seeding in TD-1, Approx. center of TD-1 project site.
Additional Detail
Work Statement Element 149429:
https://www.cbfish.org/WorkStatementElement.mvc/Summary/149429
When determined that supplemental seeding would be beneficial, early successional stage moist soil vegetation will be planted primarily with native plants to replace undesirable plant species on approximately 20 acres at the TD-1 project site. Seeding activities would be primarily to provide wildlife food and to reduce the establishment of undesirable plant species. The seed application will be done by a sub-contractor hired by WDFW personnel, some follow up seeding may be performed by WDFW personnel. Seeding density will vary based on the method used, averaging approximately 40 lbs/acre. Heavy seeding will produce a dense stand of desirable vegetation and help prevent weed infestation (using cultural method for weed control). Seed will be planted or broadcast and the soil packed to ensure good seed to soil contact. Periodic disturbance (mechanical method of weed control through mowing and/or tillage) may be one management tool used to stimulate desirable moist soil plant species continued growth, once a seed bank is established. Activities are regular and ongoing.

Additional Detail
Work Statement Element 149432:
https://www.cbfish.org/WorkStatementElement.mvc/Summary/149432
WDFW staff will monitor and inspect the project area for presence of desirable and undesirable plants. WDFW staff will determine the best method for maintaining desirable vegetation and control of undesirable vegetation and will consult experts when and if needed for new methods of maintenance or control of plant species. The highest emphasis will be placed on the control of the most undesirable/invasive vegetation (e.g., Russian Olive, common reed, Canada thistle) in the project areas at TD-1, TD-3, and TD-5. Herbicides and mowing will be the primary tools used for vegetation control, although, adaptive management will include the use of mechanical, biological, and chemical treatments. In addition to controlling undesirable vegetation and invasive weeds; emphasis will be placed on prohibiting the establishment of all vegetation in ditches. Activities are regular and ongoing.
Travel and per diem is allotted for training required to maintain WSDA required Pesticide Applicator License(s) and other required or relevant training. Training may occur but is not specific to Washington (including: Wenatchee, Yakima, Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, Walla Walla, Pullman, Spokane, Mt. Vernon, Seattle area, Vancouver area); Idaho (Coeur d'Alene, Moscow, Boise); Oregon (Portland area).
