Section 1. Administrative

Proposal titleProbabilistic Monitoring of the Status and Trends of Habitat, Water Quality, and Fish Presence in the Washington Portion of the Columbia River Basin
Proposal ID200726700
OrganizationInteragency Committee (IAC)
Short descriptionThe Washington State Office of the Interagency Committee (IAC) on behalf of the Governor’s Forum on Monitoring (FORUM) and in cooperation with the Department of Ecology, Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office (GSRO), and the Lower Columbia Fish Recovery Board
Information transfer·We propose to provide all data to the BPA Pisces system as it develops the capacity to receive it and to store it. Also, we propose to store information in the ECY databases where it can be accessed for future Washington State of Salmon in Watersheds. reports and for possible reporting to Congress through NMFS data sharing requirements. The data dictionary will be consistent with any Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund (PCSRF) reporting metrics provided to Congress and; The metadata will be provided through the use of the Bureau of Reclamation’s Protocol Builder software. We intend that GIS coverage be a necessary part of the overall data management system

Section 5. Relationships to other projects

Funding sourceRelated IDRelated titleRelationship
Other: WSRFB 03-1377 Effectiveness Monitoring Monitors randomly selected projects in Columbia Basin for effectiveness using EMAP protocols
Other: WSRFB 05-1232 Intensively Monitored Watersheds Monitors effects of habitat restorations on fish production in Germany, Mill, Abernathy Creeks using EMAP sampling design and protocls
Other: WSRFB 05-1439 Status-Trends Monitorng Framework Departement of Ecology is building a framework for Washington with over 20,000 EMAP sample sites statewide. This proposal would utilize the identified sample sites and protocols

Section 6. Biological objectives

Biological objectivesFull descriptionAssociated subbasin planStrategy
Monitor trends in watershed conditions and process Evaluate the condition of riparian and instream habitat at randomly selected sites throughout the non-federal lands in the Washington portion of the Columbia River basin Lower Columbia 7.5 Habitat status monitorng
Monitor trends in watershed conditions and process Evaluate the condition of riparian and instream habitat at randomly selected sites throughout the non-federal lands in the Washington portion of the Columbia River basin Okanogan Determine if there is a statistically significant difference in selected physical habitat parameters and characteristics for summer/fall, spring Chinook, sockeye, and steelhead in the Okanogan basin resulting from the cumulative benefits of habitat act

ISRP PRELIMINARY REVIEW (Jun 2, 2006)

Recommendation: Not fundable

NPCC comments: The principal thrust of the proposed work is to determine status and trends of habitat, water quality, and fish. The proposal, however, primarily describes and justifies the sampling design. In effect, there are no methods proposed to accomplish the stated objectives. The parameters that will be measured are simply mentioned, the specific metrics and sampling methods are not given, and the methods of data analysis and quality control are not presented. The proposal was not fully developed.
