Section 2. Past accomplishments
| Year | Accomplishment |
|---|---|
| 2000 | A total of 262 juvenile Pacific lamprey were captured during the 2000 field season. Preliminary findings indicate Pacific lamprey juveniles, while present, are not numerous or widely distributed. |
| 2000 | Lateral scour pool with sand/silt substrate was the most widely used habitat for ammocoetes. |

Task-based budget
| Objective | Task | Duration in FYs | Estimated 2002 cost | Subcontractor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Objective 1. Determine life history characteristics of ammocoetes and macrothalmia. | Task 1.1 Determine age, size, and timing of outmigrant juvenile lamprey by collecting and measuring captured fish in downstream migrant traps on Red, American and Crooked rivers | 1 | $7,300 | |
| Task 1.2 Determine relative abundance of outmigrants by marking juveniles at capture locations upstream of traps. | 1 | $7,300 | ||
| Task 1.3 Determine age distribution and density of ammocoets and estimate population abundance by capturing lamprey utilizing electroshocking techniques. | 1 | $7,300 | ||
| Task 1.4 Coordinate with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Washington Dept. of Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service and other personnel working at mainstem Snake River and Columbian dams for information on any marked juvenile outmigrants. | 1 | $7,300 | ||
| Objective 2.Determine habitat requirements of Pacific Lamprey | Task 2.1 At individual capture locations, as in Task 1.3, characterize habitat type by measuring substrate type, substrate temperature, water depth, water velocity, gradient, light intensity, and instream cover. | 1 | $57,900 | |
| Task 2.2 Upon random encounter of any adult Pacific lamprey, measure parameters as described in Task 2.1. | 1 | $7,300 | ||
| Objective 3.Determine distribution of Pacifc Lamprey in Clearwater River drainage. | Task 3.1 Electoshock potential habitat types in selected tributaries in the Clearwater River subbasin to expand knowledge of distribution. | 1 | $42,850 | |
| Task 3.2 Provide distribution on GIS overlays. | 1 | $7,300 | Yes |
Outyear objectives-based budget
| Objective | Starting FY | Ending FY | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Objective 1: Determine distribution of Pacific lamprey in Clearwater River drainage | 3 | 4 | $200,000 |
| Objective 2: Develop GIS overlays for Pacific lamprey distribution in the Clearwater River drainage and habitat restoration and preservation management guidelines for land management agencies. | 3 | 5 | $180,000 |

Section 8. Estimated budget summary
Itemized budget
| Item | Note | FY 2002 cost |
|---|---|---|
| Personnel | FTE: Graduate student, seasonal crew, biologist | $50,000 |
| Fringe | $18,250 | |
| Supplies | Field equipment, supplies, per diem, etc. | $32,000 |
| Travel | Coordination meetings; professional society | $2,000 |
| Indirect | $37,300 | |
| Subcontractor | University of Idaho | $5,000 |
| $144,550 | ||
Total estimated budget
| Total FY 2002 cost | $144,550 |
| Amount anticipated from previously committed BPA funds | $0 |
| Total FY 2002 budget request | $144,550 |
| FY 2002 forecast from 2001 | $97,800 |
| % change from forecast | 47.8% |
Reason for change in estimated budget
Increases in project budget for personnel are due to legislative mandate cost of living increases ,and more biologist time to insure timely and comprehensive completion of annual tasks. The project will move to other drainages within the Clearwater River subbasin, requiring more travel and logistical support.

Comment:
Fundable. No response needed. The methods, which are reasonably well detailed, are aimed at evaluation of background information for various life history stages of the animal. This proposal addresses a need for information in a systematic way. It provides good scientific/technical background and justification, and appears to be well coordinated with other projects. The proposal requests "full" ($160K) funding through FY 04 and then reduced funding for FY05. However, this study should be complete in no more than three field seasons (00 - 02) with some wrap-up on the end. At the presentation it was noted that a UI grad student will be on the project. If they have not yet started it might be reasonable to go another year, but this is approaching a point where the Council and CBFWA may want to consider if the project is too expensive for the information gained.Comment:

Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESUNone for RPA ESUs. But still important basic research for resident fish.
Comments
No direct connection to FCRPS BiOp, but necessary work on an anadromous species that is not currently listed, but has the potential to be.
Already ESA Req? No
Biop? No
