Contract Description:
Project/Contract history:

This project is a part of the Clearwater National Forest-Nez Perce Tribe Watershed Restoration Partnership.  This project represents a merger of two ongoing BPA and NPT restoration projects, Project #1996-077-03, Project #20027400, and an extension of the project area to include the entire Lochsa Basin rather than just the upper watersheds.  This project unification greatly increases 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 plants. The cost share on this project has been contributed by the Clearwater National Forest who provides an approximate 30% match including cash and in-kind contributions. Project planning and implementation responsibilities are also shared with the Clearwater National Forest.

FY 10 implementation included the removal of up to seven miles of roads (to reduce sediment inputs to streams(, five miles of road drainage improvement (to reduce chronic sediment inputs to a priority spawning stream), three culvert replacements (to improve hydrologic capacity reduce potential sediment delivery, and provide connectivity), two culvert replacements (to provide for aquatic species passage), approximately 1.2 miles of road re-routing (to reduce sediment input to streams),  project implementation/effectiveness monitoring and evaluation, and continued planning and coordination for next year's projects and out-year habitat improvements. The implementation items also include associated erosion control and re-vegetation.

NPT Watershed personnel will also conduct invasive weed treatment, invasive weed inventory, and continue  inventory of roads throughout the Upper Lochsa watershed in order to identify fish passage barriers and road associated risks to aquatic species.  


Matching Costs Summary 2010: In 2010 the Clearwater National Forest provided approximately 30% of project costs for road removal and culvert replacement, which includes project planning, contract administration, and implementation.    

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.
