Section 3. Relationships to other projects

Project IDTitleDescription
20516 Umatilla Subbasin Umbrella This project provides an overview of all FWP funded projects within the basin and cooridinates of hatchery production, marking, and releases with other projects.
198343500 Operate and Maintain Umatilla Hatchery Satellite Facilities Umatilla production of chinook and steelhead is transferred to acclimate facilities prior to release in the Umatilla Basin. Broodstock is collected, held and spawned to provide eggs to Umatilla and other basin hatcheries for fish productionng.
198902401 Evaluate Juvenile Salmonid Outmigration and Survival in the Umatilla River. Determine migration patterns, migrant abundance, and survival of hatchery and natural juvenile salmonids in the Umatilla basin using PIT tag and radio telemetry technology and investigate effects of environmental variables on fish migration.
199000500 Umatilla Hatchery Monitoring and Evaluation Evaluate juvenile rearing, marking, tagging, survival, stock life history, fish health, mass marking, straying, sport fishing and catch contribution for salmon and steelhead reared in oxygen supplemented and standard raceways at Umatilla Hatchery
199000501 Umatilla and Walla Walla Basin Natural Production M&E Project Monitor and evaluate natural spawning, rearing, migration, survival, life histories, age and growth characteristics, and genetic characteristics of adult salmon and steelhead and their natural progeny in the Umatilla River Basins.
198802200 Trap and Haul in the Umatilla and Walla Walla Basins Increase survival of migrating juvenile and adult salmon and summer steelhead in the Umatilla Basin by operating passage facilities, flow enhancement measures, trap facilities, and transport equipment to provide adequate passage conditions.

Recommendation:
Rank A

Comment:

Although BPA understands that the Annual Operating Plans are the product of multiple reviews involving several ODFW staff and extensive negotiations with CTUIR, the budget of $92,000 seems excessive. We also understand that total O&M funding for the hatchery has been consistent over the years and comparable to other similar hatcheries. It seems appropriate for the resource managers involved in this project to look for ways to reduce overall costs.

Might shift rearing from Little White Salmon to Umatilla next year. Check to see if that happens that funding would shift. Would be an efficiency, possible increase here and decrease in Satellite operations (198343500).

Comment:

FY2005 budget amount is assuming Idaho Power Company (IPC) will request rearing space to rear fall chinook for the Snake River. If IPC discontinues their fall chinook program, approximately $1,004,500 will be needed to operate and maintain Umatilla Hatchery in FY05.
