Contract Status:

Contract Description:
CCR-48319: Descoping of the Rock Creek/Black Wolf/Old Cabin habitat implementation (WE: AA), as this work was unable to be completed due to delays in Section 106 permitting, and a delicate relationship with the private landowner which necessitates additional time. The $123,000 budget for WE: AA will be moved to the newly added WE: AT (Remove/Breach Barrier - Rattlesnake Gulch Road Crossing) to initiate the purchase of bridge materials and supplies in advance of the bridge installation during the FY23 contract. Specifically, only the manufactures designs will be covered by this CCR. Fabrication of the bridge will occur during the next contract when all EC requirements are complete. The purchase of the bridge in advance is necessary due to the lead time needed to ensure on-time delivery for implementation in late June/ early July 2023. 90% designs have completed the HIP process for this project, and no changes to the designs are anticipated.
  

SOUTHERN TERRITORIES HABITAT PROJECT

The overall goal of the Southern Territories Habitat Project (STHP) is to restore watershed processes to aid the recovery of salmonid stocks in the Mid-Columbia Region.  The Yakama Nation Fisheries Program and Yakima-Klickitat Fisheries Project (YKFP) work throughout the Yakama Reservation, usual-and-accustomed and ceded areas, managing harvest, habitat, and hatcheries, and conducting research, monitoring and evaluation around salmon, steelhead, lamprey, sturgeon, bridgelip suckers and other fish of tribal and ecological importance.  The long-term and landscape-scale view of resource management held by Yakama people—that everything is connected— is reflected in the approach to protecting and restoring healthy and resilient habitats and is succinctly stated as a “watershed” or “ridgetop to ridgetop” approach. The proposed expansion of the geographic scope of this project is a reflection of the YN’s landscape level approach and a recognition that species of concern span administrative and watershed boundaries and thus recovery efforts benefit from a larger spatial scope.

STHP is sub-project within the YKFP.  The YKFP is a joint project of the Yakama Nation (lead entity) and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and is sponsored in large part by the Bonneville Power Administration with oversight and guidance from the Northwest Power and Conservation Council. The goal of the YKFP is to restore sustainable and harvestable populations of salmon, steelhead and other at-risk species that were historically present within Yakama Territories. In addition, to habitat protection and restoration work, YKFP pursues hatchery supplementation or reintroduction strategies to achieve the project goals.

Disclaimer: A new STHP proposal was submitted to the Council that expands the geographic scope. The proposal received a qualified rating by the ISRP and is anticipated to be recommended for funding in the Council recommendation due April 2022. This contract is being advanced under the STHP as conditionally approved in an e-mail from the Council staff dated October 11, 2021 (https://www.cbfish.org/Document.mvc/Viewer/P190627).

PROJECT GOALS

To achieve the broad goal of restoring watershed processes to aid salmonid recovery, STHP utilizes a three prong approach:
- Assess watershed, habitat and fish conditions/status to inform the prioritization of restoration activities.
- Protect, restore, and enhance priority watershed and reaches.
- Provide educational opportunities and public outreach related to salmon, habitat, and water quality and watershed health.
