General

Project Number:

2011-018-01

Title:

Pend Oreille River Basin Initiative (Land Acquisitions)

Summary:

The goal of this project is to identify and implement larger scale restoration projects to improve local watershed conditions within the Pend Oreille Subbasin. Funding will be used to implement necessary and appropriate restoration measures which could include, for example, land acquisition, conservation easements, or other habitat restoration actions in the watershed to support native ecosystem/watershed function. The Kalispel Tribe has a history of matching & leveraging funds from various sources (e.g. Salmon Recovery Funding Board, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, and FERC Licenses) to implement large watershed scale restoration projects. This project is unique because it can react fast to emerging cost share opportunities with stakeholders to implement projects. Many of these opportunities would not be
accomplished within existing Kalispel Tribe projects funded by BPA or by conservation partners alone. For example, in 2016 fisheries co-managers saw a need to develop a Bull Trout reintroduction feasibility analysis. Once the analysis was complete and identified Sullivan Lake/Harvey Creek as the best location, the emphasis was shifted to Harvey Creek for restoration measures and a risk assessment. This project is on track for implementation in the coming years. This project brings major cost share to the table, allowing projects to be accomplished in a timely manner with significant cost saving passed onto BPA.
