Contract Description:

The Sagebrush Flat Wildlife Area (SFWA) was approved as a wildlife mitigation project in 1992 and was re-approved for operations and maintenance (O%M) funding in 2002 as part of the Northwest Power Planning Council's (NWPPC) Provincial /Sub-basin Planning Process.  This project is located within the Columbia Plateau Province (Crab Creek Sub-basin) and partially addresses adverse impacts caused by the construction of Chief Joseph and Grand Coulee hydroelectric dams.  Wildlife habitat protection and enhancement efforts to meet mitigation objectives have been underway since 1995 on the Sagebrush Flat Wildlife Area.  Continued operation and maintenance activities funded by BPA are necessary to maintain and enhance wildlife habitat benefits and to ensure BPA's mitigation obligation is met.  These activities are essential to further the goal of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to protect and enhance shrub-steppe and other habitats necessary to recover and sustain populations of pygmy rabbits, sage grouse and sharp-tailed grouse.

Management actions planned for FY06 include continued weed control on all units and shrub-steppe restoration and maintenance activities on up to 205 acres of former agricultural fields including mowing, summer fallowing and seeding and interseeding as needed.  Additional actions will include enhancement and maintenance of riparian areas including planting riparian trees and shrubs, weed control on these areas and protection from deer browsing.  Up to 30 acres and 1.5 miles of riparian habitat will be enhanced and maintained.   Roads, fences, parking areas and signs will be maintained, repaired and replaced as needed.  Debris and garbage will be removed and disposed of.
Sage grouse and sharp-tailed grouse leks will be monitored during their respective breeding seasons.  Searches for pygmy rabbits and Washington ground squirrels will be conducted as needed and public use of the wildlife area will be monitored.  Other quotidian tasks will be performed as needed or required.
