Description
Project 1992-061-05:
https://www.cbfish.org/Project.mvc/Display/1992-061-05
Natural resources, including flora and fauna have shaped the culture of the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho (Tribe) for thousands of years. The aboriginal territories of the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho people were far reaching with traditional hunting, fishing, and gathering activities extending into British Columbia, Western Montana, and all of Northern Idaho; many of the areas and resources traditionally used by the Tribe have been lost, anadromous salmonids no longer journey up the Upper Columbia River and its tributaries and wapato no longer blooms on the drained wet meadows. Even today, the Kootenai white sturgeon and burbot struggle to maintain historic spawning grounds. It is the goal of the Tribe to promote full mitigation of the impacts suffered by the people of the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho and the fish, water, wildlife, and plant resources which they depended, as a direct and indirect result of the development and operation of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS).
Coordination and cooperation between all agencies and Upper Columbia United Tribes (UCUT), including the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, will ensure Albeni Falls wildlife mitigation activities are consistent with the Northwest Power Conservation Councils (NWPCC) Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Program and the Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Authority (CBFWA). The purpose of this work statement is to provide funds to the Tribe to participate in the Albeni Falls Interagency Work Group (Work Group) and implementation of Albeni Falls Wildlife Mitigation Project - 9206100 (Project). The Kootenai Tribe of Idaho project work statement and process follows the newly adopted program (NWPPC 2000) and the 1995 Fish and Wildlife Program by focusing its efforts on the mitigation of fish and wildlife losses attributable to the development, operation and management of the Columbia River Basin hydroelectric facilities.

Promote, protect and maintain existing and regenerating native vegetation from depredating animals and other competitive vegetation. Reduce competition of grasses/weeds on woody and riparian deciduous vegetation by placement of ground cover, fencing, removal of undesirable species and spot application of herbicides (50+ feet from water) in localized patches of naturally reproducing desirable native and/or woody species. Emphasize plant diversity and early pioneering species (e.g., cottonwood and willow) along river edge depositional areas and sloping river banks on Conservation Units (CU) and new acquisition areas. Match site-specific project work to geologic and geomorphic characteristics, soils types, down woody debris, plant communities, plant associations and representative attributes of existing/historic wildlife habitats. Maintain isolated plant communities in dry terraces near wet meadow bottom patches on mitigation parcels.

Additional Detail
Work Statement Element 151318:
https://www.cbfish.org/WorkStatementElement.mvc/Summary/151318
Tribal personnel will work to control, exclude and relocate nuisance animals (skunk, beaver, coyote, etc.) to enhance reproduction, increase survival and maintain native terrestrial wildlife habitats (e.g., remnant mature cottonwood galleries) and species important to Tribal members. Similarly, ungulates and small rodents can impact isolated patches of native vegetation and new plantings, therefore various methods/techniques (WE 198 and WE186) may be utilized to protect and reduce these impacts (i.e., herbivory, rubbing and associated damage). Skunks, coyotes and other predators feed on nesting avian species, and removal and/or relocation trapping may be necessary where predator habitat manipulation is inadequate to control population increases of these nuisance species. Another area of concern is beaver damage and associated ground disturbance (e.g., dens) located on/near Tribal mitigation properties. Exact beaver numbers are unknown, change annually and den use is not consistent. Observational data show rotational den use, where size and locations of family groups are variable. Documented beaver activity impacts to mature cottonwoods (primarily near river edge and low gradient slopes) show trees are partially or totally girdled trees. Partially girdled trees and trees that are likely candidates for damage have been protected where possible (WE 190), and the remainder of cottonwoods are being monitored. Ungulate, small rodent and similar nuisance animals will be monitored and non-lethal techniques and methods will take precedence over removal/relocation activities to protect and reduce damage to important vegetation communities. Other opportunities may be employed, such as trapping problem beavers in project specific sites, and where feasible relocate beavers. Continual coordination with local entities and State wildlife agencies will be implemented where removal and/or relocation actions are necessary.

Removal of debris that poses threats to wildlife, diminishes the habitat value of the properties and may be utilized by nuisance and/or invasive species (e.g., skunk dens, etc.). Skunks prey on nesting avian species and certain farm related debris may provide suitable dens and cover habitat for skunks, small rodents (i.e., meadows vole damage young trees) and other nuisance animals. Removal and/or manipulation of these artifacts may assist in the control of nuisance animals (WE190).

Upon this Wildlife Mitigation property the objective is to further create floodplain connectivity by reducing topographic barriers (levee's) and increasing water transport (connector channels) to support overland flows and increase floodplain complexity (adding LWD & vegetative planting). During this contract period, Phase 1 of the Nimz North Quad restoration is to be implemented, where Albeni Falls Wildlife Mitigation Project will assist/augment (200201100; primary project funds) in enhancement treatments.
This first restoration phase will extend surface flows across a floodplain area (from the main-stem of the Kootenai River) approximately 1,175 feet (Phase 1-5 total 4,700ft.) to provide river flows through a wetland complex at 2 year flood return intervals. All EC and permitting tasks for the complete project will be completed under this Contract. Subcontractors & Tribal Tech Staff will be used to accomplish this WE.

Work Statement Element 151328:
https://www.cbfish.org/WorkStatementElement.mvc/Summary/151328
The Tribal Wildlife Division will implement small scale invasive species control treatments (i.e., Reed Canarygrass [RCG]). These actions will be guided by the Tribal Integrated Vegetation Management and Treatment Strategy that was based on a literature review. The Tribe determined that invasive species control, primarily RCG, must be controlled and integrated into a whole ecosystem management strategy. Following treatments, we propose to inventory, assess and monitor RCG locations in our application of an integrated vegetation management/treatment strategy to control RCG on wildlife mitigation properties (in association with BPA project #200200800).
Utilizing an integrated vegetation management/treatment strategy can enhance and accelerate the progress of RCG control over single-method approaches. The Tribal treatment strategy will involve mitigating underlying disturbances (e.g., hydrological, nutrient enrichment, sedimentation, land conversion), disrupting feedback mechanisms that reinforce invasion (construction removal/ litter removal), and strengthening community recovery and invasion resistance (active re-vegetation, post herbicide control applications, and after care).

Realize Kootenai River Operational Mitigation and Enhancement Project (#200201100) and Reconnect Project (#200200800) restoration and planting guidance for mitigation parcels, Project designs, and implement site-specific bioengineering techniques for simple, user-friendly, active and passive plantings.
Based on reconnection opportunities, restoration designs, and planting guide criteria delineated under project work for both 199206105 and 200201100, utilize suitable native plant species, in approriate (elevation) zones, and employ scientific information (i.e., Flood Return Intervals, wetland delineation characters, etc.) to implement project work for individual mitigation parcels (i.e., zones correspond to life requirements of willow, dogwood, and cottonwood cuttings/containerized stock). This work includes tree/shrub, grass, and sedge/rush planting, along with related Reed Canary Grass control areas (e.g., selective re-grading) under restortation work.
When and where appropriate, initiate small scale planting options under site-specific bioengineering techniques for riparian locations on erosion areas within mitigation sites. Additional site specific plantings/seeding designs will also be initiated as necessary.

Work Statement Element 151321:
https://www.cbfish.org/WorkStatementElement.mvc/Summary/151321
Promote, protect and maintain existing and regenerating native vegetation from depredating animals and other competitive vegetation. Reduce competition of grasses/weeds on woody and riparian deciduous vegetation by placement of ground cover, fencing, removal of undesirable species and spot application of herbicides (50+ feet from water) in localized patches of naturally reproducing desirable native and/or woody species. Emphasize plant diversity and early pioneering species (e.g., cottonwood and willow) along river edge depositional areas and sloping river banks on Conservation Units (CU) and new acquisition areas. Match site-specific project work to geologic and geomorphic characteristics, soils types, down woody debris, plant communities, plant associations and representative attributes of existing/historic wildlife habitats. Maintain isolated plant communities in dry terraces near wet meadow bottom patches on mitigation parcels.
