| 1987 |
NPPC amended the F&W Program to include baseline stream surveys of tributaries located on the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation. |
| 1990 |
Conducted field surveys of Reservation streams. Documented location, accessibility, stream gradient, and habitat potential of 21 streams within the Reservation boundaries. |
| 1991 |
Used a modified Missouri method of evaluating streams in combination with information on biological indicators to select target tributaries for restoration and enhancement. |
| 1992 |
Compiled population and biomass estimates for westslope cutthroat trout and calculated community metrics for macroinvertebrate populations in each target tributary. |
| 1993 |
Identified limiting factors for westslope cutthroat and bull trout in target tributaries. |
| 1994 |
Mark-recapture effort initiated in Lake Coeur d'Alene to help describe fish assemblages in near shore areas and evaluate interactions between cutthroat and their predators. |
| 1994 |
Recommendations given by the Coeur d'Alene Tribe were adopted by NPPC (10.8B.20). |
| 1995 |
Used GIS technology to identify priority areas for restoration by overlaying information on riparian condition, fish population abundance and distribution, and land ownership. |
| 1995 |
Erected 2.8 km of exclusion fencing, installed bank protection structures, constructed pool habitat, and reestablished connections with historic floodplain channels at two locations. |
| 1995 |
Implemented the first compensatory harvest project by planting 1000 rainbow trout into Worley Pond. |
| 1995 |
Initiated annual creel census surveys at Worley Pond to help manage put and take fisheries on the Reservation. |
| 1996 |
Erected 1.9 km of exclusion fencing, placed LWD in a 300 meter test reach, installed two current deflectors, and planted more than 9,000 trees and shrubs. |
| 1996 |
Maintained and stocked Worley Trout Pond with over 3000 rainbow trout. |
| 1997 |
Completed 5-year management plan for enhancement of Tribal fisheries. Identified appropriate restoration techniques and projected anticipated program expenses for FY1997-2001. |
| 1997 |
Constructed and enhanced 4 acres of wetland habitat, constructed a side-channel rearing pond, built a bio-revetment to protect 100 meters of streambank, and planted more than 9,000 trees and shrubs. |
| 1997 |
Stocked Worley Pond with 2200 rainbow trout. |
| 1997 |
Initiated baseline water quality monitoring in Lake Coeur d'Alene to identify limiting factors for the adult cutthroat trout lifestage. |
| 1998 |
Constructed and enhanced 2 acres of wetland habitat and planted more than 9,000 trees and shrubs. Substantially reduced non-point source sediment pollution from over 300 acres of farmland. |
| 1998 |
Stocked Worley Pond with 1400 rainbow trout. |
| 1998 |
Compiled comprehensive lists of landowner contacts in each of the target watersheds. Signed 8 long-term easements to protect critical habitat in two target watersheds during the past three years. |
| 1998 |
Completed a gravel study in known spawning tributaries of each target watershed to quantify the quality and quantity of available spawning gravel. |
| 1998 |
Collected over 400 individual tissue samples from 13 location to determine stock purity and relatedness of westslope cutthroat trout stocks. |
| 1998 |
Completed supplementation feasibility report for westslope cutthroat trout on Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation. Determined the need for supplementation of natural fish stocks in order to meet goals of NPPC and Tribe. |
| 1999 |
Stocked Worley Pond with 1400 rainbow trout. |
| 1999 |
Rehabilitated more than 20 acres of riparian habitat and planted more than 11,000 trees and shrubs. Substantially reduced non-point source sediment pollution from over 300 acres of farmland. |
| 1999 |
Initiated a bathymetric survey of Lake Coeur d'Alene to quantify near shore habitat. |
| 1999 |
Completed a biological assessment for bull trout in waters of the Coeur d'Alene Reservation. Obtained an incidental take permit from the USFWS to authorize restoration and monitoring/evaluation activities and ensure compliance with ESA. |
| 1999 |
Completed a NEPA compliance checklist and supplemental analysis for watershed projects under the watershed management program EIS. |
| 2000 |
Completed hatchery Master Plan. Step 1 NPPC Hatchery Planning Process.
Completed hatchery NEPA process, Step 2 NPPC Hatchery Planning Process and Step 3 Final Design.
Completed genetic analysis of cutthroat trout in reservation waters. |
Planning to date has cost $199,490 and includes master plan completion and submittal, conceptual engineering designs and costing, partial staffing to complete necessary work for the submission of the master plan. The amount currently budgeted for additional planning activities (step 2 and 3) are $651,781 through September 2000. Construction of the Coeur d'Alene Trout Production Facility is estimated to cost $3,422,304 plus an additional $103,051 for support staff and includes the following items, construction of the facility, construction of four acclimation sites, construction of expansion of the well field to meet water needs and a 10 percent design and a 10 percent construction contingency fund. The project was reviewed in FY2000 and $1,500,000 was appropriated. Budget changes include an additional $700,000 for securing a long term water source, $570,388 in a design and construction contingency fund and $250,000 for the additional needs associated with the water reuse system.
The scope of work is still the same. The estimated costs for completion changed for the reasons stated above.
