Contract Description:
Project/Contract history:

This project is a part of the Clearwater National Forest-Nez Perce Tribe Watershed Restoration Partnership, and represents a merger of two ongoing projects and one new project in adjacent drainage areas.  The ongoing projects merged are Project #1996-077-03 Protect and Restore Waw'aatamnime to ‘Imnaamatnoon Analysis Area, and Project #2002-074-00 Protect and Restore Crooked Fork to Colt Killed Creeks Analysis Area.  The new project that will be rolled into these two ongoing projects is Project #2007-255-00 Protect and Restore the Middle Lochsa Watershed.  Beginning in FY 2007, project #2007-395-00 Protect and Restore the Upper Lochsa, will incorporate all three project watersheds which will greatly increase administrative and financial efficiency in order to maximize the direct benefit to fish and wildlife.  

Restoration follows a ridge top to ridge top approach with implementation focused on increasing aquatic habitat connectivity, decreasing resource impacts from roads, and exotic invasive plant control. The cost share on this project has been contributed by two other sources: the Clearwater National Forest and Idaho Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Funds.  The Clearwater National Forest provides an approximate 30% match including cash and in-kind.  In addition, the Nez Perce Tribe applied for and received two Idaho-Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund grants for 2005-2007 which provided $633,000 for implementation of road removal and culvert replacement. Our project planning, project costs, and implementation responsibilities are shared with the Clearwater National Forest.

FY 07 Contract summary:

FY 07 implementation includes 8+ miles of road decommissioning with the corresponding revegetation and erosion control, the technical review and monitoring and evaluation of up to 5 culverts that will be replaced by the Clearwater National Forest under a separate BPA-CNF contract of this project, invasive weed treatment, road decommissioning and culvert replacement monitoring and evaluation, an invasive weed inventory, and a comprehensive inventory of roads and culverts on private land and in the Middle Lochsa Watershed in order to identify fish passage barriers and road associated risks to aquatic species.  

Matching Costs Summary (2007):

Idaho PCSRF funds through the Idaho Office of Species Conservation will be expended this year on three culvert replacement projects and the Rock Creek road removal.  The total expended since 2005 will be $633,000.
Weed treatment costs are shared between the Nez Perce Tribe's BPA contract and three North Central Idaho RAC grants (federal Title II funds): $17,650 for Prescribed Grazing, $8,000 for Weed Inventory, and $17,000 for herbicides and weed treatment along the Lochsa.  The RAC funds are contracted through the Clearwater National Forest to the Nez Perce Tribe.

In addition, an environmental non-profit, Wildlands CPR, maintains a volunteer based project monitoring program in this area and the in-kind value of this monitoring is about $15,000.  Wildlands CPR collects monitoring data on roads and road removal, focusing on impacts of road removal to wildlife populations and stream habitat condition in the Upper Lochsa.

In 2007 the Clearwater National Forest will provide approximately 30% of project costs for road removal and culvert replacement, which includes project planning, contract administration, and implementation.
