Lake Roosevelt Rainbow Trout Habitat/Passage Improvement Project No Jason McLellan Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation January 18, 2012

Background Habitat surveys Restoration Projects Riparian fencing/planting Culvert replacements Channel reconstruction Road decommissioning Nutrient enhancement Water right transfers 2

Background Monitoring and Evaluation Spawning escapement Invertebrate – nutrient enhancement Limited due to small sample sizes Genetic Assessments Some “pure” populations New leadership Status and trend monitoring Project No

Goal and Objective Goal – restore healthy and harvestable salmonid populations Objective – rehabilitate stream habitat and restore ecological function in the riparian corridors 4

Management Questions 1.What are current habitat conditions? 2.Where are natural barriers? 3.Root causes of habitat degradation? 4.Highest priority restoration actions? 5.Current distribution and density of fish? 5

Project Design Inventory and Assessment Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment (EDT) Habitat Restoration and Protection Plan Plan Implementation 6 Concurrent Project Implementation

Inventory and Assessment Habitat Water Quality Discharge Invertebrate drift Fish presence, relative density, and species composition Level II – environmental attributes – EDT 7

Study Design – Habitat Conditions Current Conditions – census Habitat Inventory – ODFW protocol Natural barriers – WDFW protocol Degradations – census Culverts – National Inventory and Assessment Procedure Diversions, pumps, dikes, levees, rip rap, riparian clearing – WDFW protocol 8

Study Design – Other Components CHaMP 50 sites – two strata Sanpoil (n=25); E. side streams (n=25) 12 fixed, 13 rotating panel (3 yr) Balanced across 6 multi-density categories Land ownership (private, public) Valley segment (source, transport, response) 9

Habitat Protection and Restoration Plan 10 Process-based principles (Beechie et al. 2010) Sequence of actions (Roni et al. 2008) Empirical observation EDT Model results

Restoration Projects Riparian vegetation and streambank conditions Fish passage Channel migration potential & floodplain and sidechannel connectivity Instream flow & prevent entrainment or impingement of fish in irrigation structures 11

Restoration Project Prioritization 12 TIER 3TIER 1 TIER 4TIER 2 Biological Benefit Feasibility

Example Prioritization Criteria - Barriers Biological Quantity and quality of habitat upstream Extent of passage in current condition Number of focal species affected Other benefits Risk of catastrophic failure Feasibility Land ownership Size of road Cost 13

Summary Assessment Develop restoration plan Implementation 14
