Walla Walla Basin Fish Habitat Enhancement Project CONFEDERATED TRIBES OF THE UMATILLA INDIAN RESERVATION

PROJECT GOAL To protect and restore riparian and upland habitat critical to the recovery of weak or reintroduced populations of salmonid fish within the Walla Walla River Basin

WALLA WALLA RIVER BASIN

PROJECT OBJECTIVES Objective 1. Identify, prioritize, and select habitat restoration and protection projects that provide long-term benefit to biological systems and the salmonid fish relying on them. Objective 2: Design and implement habitat restoration and protection activities that provide long-term benefit to biological systems and the salmonid fish relying on them. Objective 3. Improve benefit to salmonid species and biological life within habitat restoration areas by monitoring and evaluating physical and biological parameters over time. Results from this data will be used to adapt and improve project strategies.

PROJECT APPROACH AND METHODS 1. Develop list of potential projects Watershed Assessment, Subbasin Review, public outreach, interagency communication Watershed Assessment, Subbasin Review, public outreach, interagency communication 2. Conduct on-site visits Evaluate site potential, prioritize, select Evaluate site potential, prioritize, select 3.Identify limiting factors and design recovery efforts to best meet them

PROJECT APPROACH CONT 4.Secure cost share 5.Sign Long Term Conservation Easement 6.Develop and secure permits / clearances 7.Solicit bids and develop subcontracts
