|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Monitor spawning activities of hatchery and natural spring and fall chinook and coho salmon, and summer steelhead in the Umatilla River Basin. | a. Document the number and location of redds and examine carcasses | on going | $26,417 | |
| b. Estimate survival to spawning and total egg deposition by species and reach. | on going | $26,417 | ||
| c. Collect and record length, sex, pre/post spawn mortality data, coded wire tags, marks, fin clips, kidney samples and scales from the appropriately marked carcasses examined on the spawning grounds. | on going | $26,417 | ||
| 2. Estimate timing and survival of juvenile salmon and steelhead migrating from the headwaters of the Umatilla River to the Lower Columbia (John Day and Bonneville Dam PIT tag interrogation sites). | a PIT tag natural juvenile chinook and summer steelhead collected in the headwaters of the Umatilla River Basin with rotary screw traps, electrofishing and other methods | 1 | $120,059 | |
| b Submit and extract tagging and detection files | 1 | $5,000 | ||
| c Estimate timing and minimum in-river survival from PIT tag detections at down-river sites | 1 | $8,000 | ||
| 3. Estimate juvenile salmonid abundance and rearing densities in index sites and selected stream reaches in the Umatilla River Basin. | a Electrofish established index sites. and selected stream reaches. Isolate the sites with block-nets and use depletion methods to estimate salmonid densities. | on going | $32,588 | |
| 4. Estimate tribal harvest of adult salmon and steelhead returning to the Umatilla River Basin (with contributed BIA funding). | a Design and implement a roving creel survey and phone survey depending on season and location of fisheries as determined by tribal authorities. | on going | $2,924 | |
| 5. Monitor stream temperatures in the Umatilla River Basin in cooperation with other monitoring agencies | a Deploy thermographs in April of 2001. Check status and function of thermographs regularly during deployment | on going | $4,100 | |
| b Retrieve and download thermographs in November. | on going | $4,015 | ||
| 6. Determine age, growth and life history characteristics of salmon, steelhead and bull trout (secondarily) in the Umatilla River Basin. | a Take scales from juvenile and adult salmon and steelhead during trapping, electrofishing and spawning surveys. | on going | $3,000 | |
| b Mount and press adult scale samples. Place juvenile scales directly between labeled acetate sheets at the time of sampling. | on going | $1,000 | ||
| c Determine the proportion of unmarked adult salmon that are of hatchery and natural origin based on circuli counts from the scale focus to the first annuli. | on going | $8,673 | ||
| d Determine age, growth, life history characteristics and the years of freshwater and saltwater rearing of adult natural steelhead and salmon. | on going | $8,673 | ||
| 7 Examine the movements of 30 adult fall chinook salmon after transport into the Umatilla River from Priest Rapids Hatchery and/or Ringold Hatchery. | a Radio-tag and release 30 adult fall chinook salmon into the Umatilla River in early to mid October. | 2 | $8,280 | |
| b Monitor the movement of tagged adult fall chinook with fixed site and mobile receivers | 2 | $14,558 | ||
| 8 Comply to the required administrative processes of BPA, GSA, ESA, USFWS, USFS, NMFS, CRITFC, CBFWA, ISRP, NWPPC, ODFW, WDFW, DEQ, TMDL, watershed assessments, master plans, sub-basin plan reviews, UMMEOC and AOP . | a Complete the necessary reports, permit applications and proposals. Attend the necessary coordination, planning, scoping and consultation meetings. | on going | $18,212 |

Reason for change in estimated budget
This project is operated in conjunction with the Walla Walla Natural Production Monitoring and Evaluation Program (one BPA contract but with two proposals and annual reports). Monitoring activities in the Umatilla Basin have decreased from a decade of intense evaluations to a more streamlined monitoring program. Monitoring in the Umatilla will decrease further after the radio telemetry and PIT tagging projects are completed in 2001. Habitat surveys will not be conducted and the intense spawning and electrofishing surveys have been reduced to index areas only. Monitoring activities in the Walla Walla Basin have increased in accord with the current and forthcoming restoration activities. Restoration planning and implementation will require more information about the Walla Walla Basin salmonids. Combined budgets for the two M&E projects have increased 3.7% from last years reduced funding level but are 20% lower than forecasted for FY2001 in the FY2000 proposals.
