Klickitat Watershed Enhancement Project proposal 199705600

FY07-09 proposal 199705600

Section 1. Administrative

Proposal title	Klickitat Watershed Enhancement Project
Proposal ID	199705600
Organization	Yakama Confederated Tribes
Short description	KWEP works to restore, enhance, and protect watershed function within the Klickitat subbasin. Project work is emphasized in watersheds and reaches that aid recovery of native salmonid stocks (rainbow/steelhead, sping Chinook, cutthroat, & bull trout).
Information transfer	Activities will be described in annual reports and quarterly PISCES reporting. RPA reporting will be completed annually at the direction of BPA. Project-specific data and information will be maintained on file (electronic and/or hardcopy as appropriate) and will be available upon request. Publications will be prepared for conference presentation and/or journal publication as time allows. Physical habitat data (streamflow, sediment, temperature, and habitat) will be stored in relational databases for rapid reporting and availability. KWEP staff are working with Klickitat Data Management staff to make physical habitat data summaries available over the internet.

Section 9. Project future

FY 2010 estimated budget: $550,000
FY 2011 estimated budget: $550,000

Comments: Assumes that matching funds will be available at similar or greater rates than currently.

Future O&M costs:

Termination date: 12/31/2025
Comments: It is estimated that it will take roughly 15 years to implement all wateshed/habitat actions in high and medium priority areas. An additional 5 years are anticipated for monitoring and maintenance. Some amount of O&M would be ongoing. The project will be complete once the extinction risk for listed species in the subbasin is determined to be 5% or less.

Final deliverables: A final report will be compiled of project accomplishments and monitoring results. Work sites, actions, and dates will be documented in maps and tables. Data will be provided electronically.

ISRP PRELIMINARY REVIEW (Jun 2, 2006)

Recommendation: Response requested

NPCC comments: The ISRP requests that certain issues be addressed before a final funding recommendation is made: The overall goal of the Klickitat Watershed Enhancement Project (KWEP) is to restore watershed health and stream habitat to aid recovery of native salmonid stocks in the Klickitat Subbasin. A response is needed to describe how the program will bolster and protect fish resources, i.e., how the goal will be met. This response thus needs to include a summary of results tied to fish. There has been a large amount of time and money spent on assessing the watershed (10 years). This is a long-standing effort with some $2.55 million invested since 2000, and over $3 million in non-BPA matching funds for active and upcoming projects; the cost-share is impressive. A large sum is requested once again. Other projects include the YKFP Klickitat Management, Data and Habitat (Project 198812035) and the Monitoring and Evaluation Project (M&E, 199506325). After this time, and considering the costs and several reviews over these years, by now there should be clear documentation of the assessments of fish habitat, prescriptions listed by priority, and much of the rehabilitation work completed or underway. In addition, a well-planned monitoring and evaluation plan should be available and presented in this proposal. If these are available, they need to be clearly summarized. Most of the work over past few years appears to have largely focused on planning, design, and data organization and reorganization. The latest annual report available electronically (2002-03) is similar in format to this proposal - itemized lists but no cohesive narrative putting results in terms of realized or potential benefits for fish and wildlife. It is good that the process used to prioritize reaches and tributaries that will receive initial restoration and protection was based on EDT and the subbasin plan. However, the proposal lacks any narrative explaining how the program will bolster and protect fish resources. No fish data is presented that indicates a fish response to past efforts.

ISRP FINAL REVIEW (Aug 31, 2006)

Recommendation: Fundable

NPCC comments: The response was comprehensive and helpful, answering ISRP concerns. At issue was the listing of results, for which there was apparently insufficient space allowed on the application, according to the proponent. Overall, the response provided adequate example and detail regarding the manner in which survey data is being used to prioritize and design habitat actions based upon knowledge of fish limiting factors. In the response, the project sponsors also noted that they stand ready to provide additional necessary information and to discuss its justification and pertinence with the ISRP. This project, important to the Klickitat subbasin plan, should provide these results in subsequent proposals and annual reports.
