| Short description | Increase survival of migrating juvenile and adult salmonids in the Walla Walla Basin by operating passage facilities, flow enhancement measures, trapping facilities, and transport equipment to provide adequate passage conditions. |
| Target species | Spring chinook, summer steelhead, and bull trout. Summer steelhead are part of the listed Mid-Columbia ESU and bull trout are part of the listed Columbia River population segment. |

Section 3. Relationships to other projects
| Project ID | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 9601100 | Walla Walla River Juvenile and Adult Passage Improvements | Proposed project identifies passage improvements to be completed under project 9601100. Also provides technical input on facility designs and operational criteria and involved in operation and maintenace of facilities after completion. |
| 20138 | NEOH Walla Walla Hatchery Facility | After completion of hatchery facility, proposed project will provide adequate passage for juveniles produced at the facility and collect broodstock for production programs. |
| 20127 | Walla Walla Basin Natural Production M&E | Proposed project provides adequate passage for natural adults and juveniles to and from natural production areas. Also provides return data for natural adults and migration data on juveniles to project 20127. |

Section 8. Estimated budget summary
Itemized budget
| Item | Note | FY 2002 cost |
|---|---|---|
| Personnel | FTE: 3.42 - Combined Umatilla and Walla Walla Fish Passage Operations projects, ~20% for Walla Walla here | $29,104 |
| Fringe | 33% | $9,604 |
| Supplies | $5,009 | |
| Travel | $4,374 | |
| Indirect | 34% | $15,571 |
| Subcontractor | ODFW - subcontractor participates in all tasks in conjunction with CTUIR - ~.4FTE for Walla Walla | $45,889 |
| $109,551 | ||
Total estimated budget
| Total FY 2002 cost | $109,551 |
| Amount anticipated from previously committed BPA funds | $0 |
| Total FY 2002 budget request | $109,551 |
| FY 2002 forecast from 2001 | $124,500 |
| % change from forecast | -12.0% |
Reason for change in estimated budget
The decrease in budget from the forecast is due to the one time purchase of video monitoring equipment However, the actual NPPC approved budget for FY2001 was only $80,000 instead of the requested $118,607. It is assumed that this difference will be reimbursed in the FY2001 budget. If not, then the video equipment will have to be budgeted for in FY2002 which would result in a budget request of approximately the same amount originally forecasted.
Reason for change in scope
It is anticipated that the scope will expand beginning in FY2004 with the completion of the proposed South Fork Walla Walla Hatchery. At that time additional broodstock collection and transport tasks will be needed.
Cost sharing
| Organization | Item or service provided | Amount | Cash or in-kind |
|---|
Other budget explanation
The jump between outyear funding in FY2003 and FY2004 is related to additional broodstock collection and transport needs associated with the completion of the proposed South Fork hatchery. It is anticipated that additional manpower would be required at that time.

Fundable - no response required
Jun 15, 2001
Comment:
Fundable. The collection of Walla Walla River projects is aimed at restoring salmon and rehabilitating steelhead populations in the Walla Walla Basin. Fish passage is a prerequisite to developing and maintaining successful runs of anadromous fish. This work should be continued. Engineered structures are in place and require annual operations and maintenance. However, an audit of this and similar projects might be considered to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of some components.
This project should be tied to a basinwide monitoring and evaluation project, see general ISRP Preliminary Comments.

Comment:
Project split from Umatilla in January, accruals artificially low. Indirect and COLA increases.Comment:
In FY 04 CTUIR is seeking an increase of $3,472 to cover previous years of unfunded increases in Indirect rates. Unfunded 2002 Indirect rate increase @ 37.2% = $449. Unfunded 2003 Indirect rate increase @ 39.64% = $3,023.NW Power and Conservation Council's FY 2006 Project Funding Review
