Description    


Project 2000-015-00:

https://www.cbfish.org/Project.mvc/Display/2000-015-00



The Oxbow Conservation Area was purchased as a high priority project in 2001 with BPA mitigation funds by the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon (Tribes). The Project has since received BPA annual funding for O&M as part of the Memorandum of Agreement between the Tribes and BPA.



The property is located in the within the John Day subbasin plan’s highest priority 5th Field HUC, Camp Creek, for Middle Fork subwatershed. The property holds a high concentration of adult spring chinook salmon through the high temperatures and low flows of the summer months, offers spawning and rearing habitat to chinook salmon, ESA-listed as Threatened Mid-Columbia summer steelhead and bull trout as well as access to the five fish-bearing perennial tributaries that come into the property from National Forest lands.



Past activities on the property severely impacted its habitat potential via overgrazing, dredge mining, invasive plants, and the clearing of trees and shrubs from riparian habitat. Since acquisition, the Tribes have been working to protect existing habitat, restore degraded habitat, and assess conditions within the property and its valuable fish and wildlife habitat. The Project will continue to follow the goals, objectives, and guidelines presented in the property management plan. Biological objectives for this Project target habitat for anadromous fish populations and other ESA-listed and sensitive species found on the property.



This Project will continue to address aquatic priorities outlined in the John Day Subbasin Plan:



•Protect High Quality Existing Habitat – achieved through various property O&M, education and outreach, riparian fencing, controlled access, monitoring trends, etc.

•Enhance Riparian and Instream Habitat – achieved through channel restoration of historically dredged and degraded streams, intensive riparian planting, adding large w

Additional Detail

Work Statement Element 151638:

https://www.cbfish.org/WorkStatementElement.mvc/Summary/151638



4,000+ planted tree containerized plants along portions of the river and creeks on the Conservation Areas. WE includes seeding work. Majority of plants will be grown from the Tribal nursery at the FCA and sources will be from local material. This work is an annual activity and can be considered both restoration and O&M, but as plants are placed in project sites and not widespread, this is labeled restoration action.

Cut and thin Juniper stands in Forrest uplands. Trees debris will be piled and burned at appropriate times in fall and winter. Annual activity includes cutting, piling and burning trees that were historically felled and left in-place. Removing trees on the ground helps to promote native forbs and shrubs and reduces noxious weeds. 2020 treatment area is in lower Slaughter House Gulch within the APE.
