Contract Description:
This contract will work to improve stream flows, habitat complexity, riparian and floodplain function, and water quality while reducing fish passage barriers in the Walla Walla Basin for the migration and rearing of summer steelhead, spring Chinook salmon, and bull trout. Limited stream flows and fish passage barriers are two primary limiting factors for aquatic species in the Walla Walla Basin. Under this BPA contract, the Walla Walla Basin Watershed Council (WWBWC) will work to address these issues in the North Fork Walla Walla River and Couse Creek with the North Fork Walla Walla River RM 3.6-4.3 Restoration Final Design, North Fork Walla Walla River RM 4.3-5.2 Floodplain Restoration 30% Design and Couse Creek RM 4 Floodplain and Aquatic Habitat Restoration projects. Additionally, the WWBWC will continue their work in assessing tributaries in the Walla Walla Basin with the Cup Gulch Assessment and Mill Creek Base Flow Assessment. The goal of the Cup Gulch Assessment is to develop strategies for increasing water quality and quantity, removing fish passage barriers, and providing rearing habitat for ESA-listed steelhead. The Mill Creek Baseflow Assessment will document the current conditions of groundwater sources during low summertime flows in the Mill Creek Municipal Watershed.

The WWBWC identified these projects through staff conversations with basin partners, working with property owners, and referring to fish recovery plans.  Additionally, the WWBWC will be working with several basin partners on these projects, including CTUIR, USFS, the City of Walla Walla, and the Umatilla National Forest.

WWBWC and the partners mentioned above will begin adding their most current, summarized empirical biological and physical habitat data sets to a GIS platform, such as ArcGIS Online, to determine priority areas and actions at the watershed level.  Areas that contain focal fish species and life stages will be the highest priority.  Specific habitat improvement actions will be prioritized based on their ability to meet the life stage-specific needs of the fish species, such as holding, spawning, summer rearing, winter rearing, and juvenile emigration.
