new research projects from the Fish Disease TWG Five-Year Work Plan(pp. 140-142).Natural Propagation: A total of 31 ongoing habitat and tributary passageprojects in Section 703(c)(l) of the Program will continue or be completedin FY 1991 (pp. 51-71). These projects, located throughout Oregon, Idaho,and Washington, emphasize enhancement of anadromous fish spawning andrearing habitat and improvement of passage conditions, with the goal ofincreasing production of naturally spawning stocks. Three new habitatenhancement-related projects (pp. 49-50) are described in the AIWP.Supplementation: Three ongoing supplementation research projects from theSupplementation TWG Five-Year Work Plan will continue in FY 1991(pp. 151-152). Three additional research projects may start in FY 1991(pp. 153-154). The goal of supplementation research is to improveprograms for supplementing natural production areas with stocked fish,whether from hatchery or wild stocks, and to assess the potential ofsupplementation to increase natural production.Resident Fish: The resident fish projects begun in FY 1990 or before(pp. 171-206) will continue, as will the sturgeon studies being carriedout throughout the Basin (p. 193). Three new projects are planned foraddition to the resident fish program during FY 1991 (pp. 188 and 266).Wildlife: In FY 1991, the emphasis will shift from planning to actualmitigation projects. A "placeholder" project for wildlife mitigation inOregon, Washington, and Idaho has been included in the AIWP (p. 239).Upon development of priority mitigation objectives by the Council, theWildlife Scoping Group is expected to develop specific projects. BPA willcomplete wildlife loss assessments for Federal Columbia River Power System(FCRPS) facilities (pp. 213-214) and will continue funding mitigationplans (p. 222). Wildlife mitigation efforts for Libby and Hungry Horsedams in Montana will continue (pp. 224-233>, along with implementation ofa long-term mitigation agreement for these facilities (p. 244).Major Projects: This category includes major hatchery construction,passaqe improvement, and habitat enhancement projects implemented by BPA'sFish and Wildlife Project Management Branch. During FY 1991, constructionof the Galbraith Springs kokanee hatchery on Lake Roosevelt will becompleted (p. 176). Development of the Master Plan for the artificialproduction facility or facilities to be located in northeastern Oregon(p. 98) will continue. Construction of the Umatilla Hatchery (p. 102),preliminary design of the Nez Perce Low-Capital Propagation Facilities(p. 106>, and operation and maintenance of the Colville Hatchery (p. 172)will continue. New FY 1991 projects include the final design of theYakima Hatchery (p. 96>, six other tasks associated with theYakima/Klickitat production project (pp. 95-961, and a Umatilla Hatcherysatellite siting study (p. 103).Planning Activities: The IPP will continue to guide BPA's Programimplementation in FY 1991 (pp. 23-24), and BPA will continue toparticipate in the seven IPP Scoping Groups. BPA will also participate inii

the Council-managed System and Subbasin Planning and System Monitoring andEvaluation programs (pp. 25-26).iii

General1, INTRODUCTIONThe Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program (Program) was developed bythe Northwest Power Planning Council (Council> in accordance with PublicLaw 96-501, the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act(Act>. The purpose of the Program is to guide the Bonneville PowerAdministration (BPA> and other Federal agencies in carrying out theirresponsibilities to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife of theColumbia River Basin. The Act explicitly gives BPA the authority andresponsibility to use the BPA fund for these ends, to the extent that fish andwildlife are affected by the development and operation of hydroelectricgeneration in the Columbia River Basin. The Columbia River Basin Fish andWildlife Program Annual Implementation Work Plan (AIWP) presents BPA's draftplans for implementing the Program during Fiscal Year (FY) 1991.The AIWP reflects the primary goals of the Council's Action Plan (Section 140(of the Program>: to provide a solid, timely, and focused basis for budgetingand planning. In addition, the AIWP provides a means to judge the progressand the success of Program implementation. The AIWP is based on the outlinedeveloped by the Policy Review Group (PRG) during Step 1 of the annual cycleof the Implementation Planning Process (IPP>, which is described in SectionIII.This AIWP has been organized and written to meet the specific needs of ProgramAction Items 10.1-10.3. The AIWP includes schedules with key milestones forFY 1991 and beyond, and addresses the Action Items assigned to BPA in Section1400 of the 1987 Program and in subsequent amendments.All Program projects discussed in the AIWP are listed in Tables 1 and 2according to their status as of September 1, 1990. Table 1 (pp. 3-14) listscompleted, ongoing, and deferred projects. Table 2 (pp. 15-17) lists FY 1991new-start projects. "Ongoing" status indicates that the project started in FY1990 or before and that it is expected to continue through part or all of FY1991. "Deferred" means that BPA implementation has been postponed to FY 1992or later. "Completed" indicates completion during FY 1990. "New" denotesprojects planned for BPA implementation in FY 1991. However, several of thesenew projects were still under review by the Policy Review Group as the FY 1991AIWP went to press. The new projects still under review have been noted inTable 2 and in the text of the AIWP.A number of projects are expected to begin in late FY 1990 and have beenlisted in Table 1 of the Draft AIWP as "Projected FY '90 Starts," based ontheir projected start dates. Several other projects are expected to end inlate FY 1990. These projects have been listed in Table 1 as "Projected FY '90Completions," based on their projected completion dates.Section VIII describes BPA's non-Program, internal support projects. Theseprojects were not subject to review by the PRG and have been included in theAIWP to help the PRG and the public to better understand what BPA is doing.1

FY 1991 AIWPThe AIWP continues to focus on individual Program Action Items. Each ActionItem entry is accompanied by the relevant Program measure language (orabstract>, a statement of BPA's objectives in implementing the Action Item, adiscussion of background and progress to date, and a summary of implementationplans for FY 1991 to accomplish the Action Item.The AIWP also presents plans for individual project implementation. Projectlevel reporting has been condensed to tabular form wherever possible. Tablesare subdivided into:I. Completed ProjectsII.III.IV.FY 1990 Ongoing ProjectsDeferred Projects (if applicable>New ProjectsWithin each of these four categories, appropriate information is provided,e.g., Project Number, Project Title, Date Completed, Results/Conclusions,Project Status, Schedule and Milestones, Anticipated Start Date, Reason forDeferral, and Project Officer.Abbreviations UsedThe AIWP uses many abbreviations to identify various agencies, organizations,and technical terms. Table 3 (pp. 19-20) lists the full name of each group,or the technical term, and the corresponding abbreviation used in the AIWP.2

IL FY 1991 BPA BUDGET ALLOCATIONThe FY 1991 AIWP reflects strengthened coordination and prioritization throughthe Implementation Planning Process (IPP). Anadromous fish will continue tobe the area of focus of the AIWP (Figure 11, with the following highlights:1) hydro system operations/downstream migration reflects increased emphasis onfish passage; 2) fish health, artificial production, and supplementationprojects will be scrutinized and implemented at a reduced level due toemphasis on production rather than research; 3) the Umatilla Hatchery shouldbe completed during the year, and activities will continue on the Yakima andNortheastern Oregon production facilities.Resident fish activities, including first year operation of the Lake Roosevelthatcheries, will continue. Most of the existing resident fish measures in theCouncil's Program will be completed by the end of FY 1991.The wildlife program will be obligated at a higher level than in the past, dueto anticipated full implementation of the FY 1990 wildlife Program amendment.Many new mitigation projects are expected to be implemented in Oregon,Washington, and Idaho following the establishment of priority mitigationobjectives by the Council. The Montana wildlife trust payment will be made,and specific projects will be implemented through the mitigation agreementwith Montana.Operation and maintenance (O&M> will continue to increase as the Fish andWildlife Program matures, and more facilities that require O&M are constructed.21

III, IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING PROCESSBackqround: On October 19, 1988, Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) andthe Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Authority (CBFWA) signed a letterendorsing the Implementation Planning Process (IPP). The IPP is an annual,sequential, nine-step process by which BPA, in collaboration with the CBFWA,plans its implementation of the Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program(Program). The nine steps of the IPP are:Step 1. Program Policy ReviewStep 2. Project ScopingStep 3. Draft AIWP DevelopmentStep 4. Public Review and Comment on Draft AIWPStep 5. Publication of AIWPStep 6. Project SpecificationsStep 7. Project Selection and NegotiationStep 8. Contract AwardsStep 9. Evaluation of Implementation ProgressThe IPP relies on three types of working groups to accomplish the nine steps:1) the Policy Review Group (PRG); 2) the Scientific Review Group (SRG); and3) Scoping Groups (SGs), formerly called Technical Working Groups (TWgGs>.Responsibilities: The primary role of the PRG is to provide BPA with the bestpossible guidance and recommendations, from a policy perspective, on thedirection, emphasis, and funding of Program implementation. Most of the PRG'sactivities occur during Step 1 of the IPP, Program Policy Review. The PRG iscomprised of senior-level representatives from the CBFWA, BPA, Northwest PowerPlanning Council, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, utilities, and otherinterested parties.The SRG will provide the PRG and BPA with objective scientific/technicaladvice and recommendations related to implementation of the Program andevaluate implementation progress. Development of the annual evaluation reportduring Step 9 is the major task of the SRG. The SRG is comprised ofsenior-level scientists from the Northwest and other regions of the country.The SGs assist BPA with scoping of projects (Step 21, responding to publiccomments (Step 4), and development of project specifications (Step 6).Currently, there are seven IPP SGs: Wildlife, Resident Fish, Columbia andSnake River Flow and Passage, Artificial Propagation, Habitat, Supplementationand Genetics, and Tributary Passage. These SGs are comprised of the region'stechnical experts in specific areas of expertise. The IPP provides a processto create additional SGs if they are needed.23

BPA is responsible for developing the AIWP (Step 3), implementing the publicreview process (Step 4>, publishing the AIWP (Step 51, initiating procurementactivities (Step 6), selecting contractors (Step 7>, and awarding contracts(Step 8). BPA representatives also participate with the SGs in IPP Steps 2,4, and 6.Progress : The PRG was established in late 1988, held its initial meeting inJanuary 1989, and continues to meet as needed to accomplish IPP tasks. ThePRG prov ided BPA with funding-level recommendations on BPA's FY 1992-1993 Fishand Wildlife Program Internal Review Budget (IRB>. With the assistance of thePRG's ad hoc Work Group, the PRG developed the Outline of the Draft FY 1991AIWP. The Draft FY 1991 AIWP is based on this Outline, which represents thePRG's recommendations to BPA regarding FY 1991 Program implementation. SevenSGs were established in May 1990, and the SGs are expected to contribute tothe development of the final FY 1991 AIWP. The SRG continued to provide BPAand the PRG with objective advice on the scientific aspects of Programimplementation in FY 1991. The SRG will develop its first annual evaluationreport on Program implementation in July 1990. Because the IPP is a uniqueand relatively new program, BPA has conducted, and continues to conduct,educational efforts to familiarize IPP participants with their roles andresponsibilities.Plans: In FY 1991, the IPP will continue to provide an opportunity for thefish and wildlife agencies, Tribes, and other interested parties toparticipate with BPA in planning its implementation of the Program. Step 1 ofthe third annual IPP cycle, during which FY 1992 implementation will beplanned, is expected to begin in August 1990, and the prescribed 12-month IPPschedule will be followed for the first time since the inception of the IPP.The SRG's annual evaluation report is expected to provide valuable technicalrecommendations to the PRG for use in planning FY 1992 Programimplementation. The SRG and SGs will continue to meet as needed throughout FY199Copi es of the complete IPP document and the Terms of Reference for the PRG,SRG and SGs (formerly TWgGs> are available from:Publications ClerkBonneville Power AdministrationDivision of Fish and Wildlife - PJP.O.

IV, SYSTEM PLANNING ACTIVITIESBPA actively participates in two Council-managed system planning programs,System and Subbasin Planning and System Monitoring and Evaluation. These twoprograms will strongly influence future Program direction and will ultimatelyaffect BPA's implementation of the Program, its evaluation and monitoringefforts, and its future Fish and Wildlife Program budget levels. The currentstatus and plans of these two programs are presented below.System and Subbasin PlanningResponsibilities: The Council funds the activities of the fish and wildlifeagencies and tribes to develop an Integrated System Plan, including 31separate Subbasin Plans. The fish and wildlife agencies and tribes haveorganized committees at the system and subbasin levels for completing thistask. The system level committee, the System Planning Group (SPG>, has beenresponsible for developing the format for the plans, guiding the subbasinplanners, and reviewing draft plans. The SPG will develop the IntegratedSystem Plan. The subbasin level committees have been responsible forcollecting information and developing drafts of specific Subbasin Plans. TheCouncil has organized another committee at the system level, the SystemPlanning Oversight Committee (SPOC), that has identified and is addressingmajor issues that have been and will be part of the system planning process.Progress: The Council contract with the fish and wildlife agencies and tribesthrough the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission calls for nine productsover the life of the planning process. Planning began in September 1987, andseveral products have been completed to date. These products include thepreliminary information report that contains information needed to evaluatethe production potential of the subbasins and thereby identify realisticobjectives for production, draft Subbasin Plans above Bonneville Dam thatinclude proposed objectives for production, the preliminary system analys isreport above Bonneville Dam that analyzes the proposed objectives forconsistency, and final Subbasin Plans above Bonneville Dam that includerecommended and alternative strategies for meeting the proposed objectives.The same products have been completed for subbasins below Bonneville Dam. Thedraft Integrated System Plan has been issued for public review, with a finalexpected in early 1991.Plans: The Integrated System Plan will recommend objectives for salmon andsteelhead production in the 31 subbasins of the Columbia River Basin. It alsowill include recommended strategies for meeting those objectives. This plan,including the 31 Subbasin Plans, will be considered for amendment into theProgram in a process that will extend into early 1992. The results of thatamendment process should provide guidance for funding activities in BPA'simplementation of the Fish and Wildlife Program in the 1990s. BPA isparticipating in the system planning process to assist in the definition ofstrategies for meeting salmon and steelhead production objectives and to helpmake the link between the planning process and implementation scheduling infiscal years beyond 1991. BPA participation in the SPG and the SPOC willcontinue on a regular monthly basis through the end of the planning process.25

System Monitoring and EvaluationResponsibilities: The Council's Monitoring and Evaluation Group (MEG> ischarged with: formulating a System Monitoring and Evaluation Program (SMEP),maintaining the System Planning Model (SPM>, integrating Subbasin Plans,recommending formats for System and Subbasin Plan reports (including habitatcapacity, genetic impacts, production, and cost of alternative strategies>,developing a Coordinated Information System (CIS), and evaluating anddisseminating research results.Progress: MEG subcommittees have been formed to address: SPM maintenance,genetics, analytical methods, System Plan integration, and the CIS. Theseefforts are underway.Plans: The Council will prepare a work plan as the basis for direct BPAfunding. After the SMEP is adopted by the Council, BPA funding of MEGactivities will be formalized as a Program Action Item. MEG will focus ongaining public support for and eventual adoption of SMEP, CIS implementation,and System Plan integration.Long-Term Role: MEG functions will continue as a result of its role inmeasuring systemwide progress, monitoring compliance with Program policies,integrating system plans, maintaining the SPM, guiding development andmaintenance of the CIS, and evaluating research results for application toProgram actions.26

VI, PROGRAM PLANS BY ACTION ITEMSANADROMOUS FISH ACTION ITEMSAND TECHNICAL SUBJECTS

2.1WATER BUDGET MEASURES303(a)303(b)303(c)[Abstract] The Federal project operators and regulators shallprovide the fish and wildlife agencies and Tribes with a totalWater Budget of 78 kcfs-months (4.64 Maf). It is to be dividedinto 58 kcfs-months (3.45 Maf> at Priest Rapids Dam and 20 kcfsmonths(1.19 Maf) at Lower Granite Dam, and used during April 15through June 15.[Abstract] BPA shall fund the establishment and operation of aFish Passage Center, including funds for two Fish PassageManager positions and for technical and clerical support. Thissupport will assist the Fish Passage Managers in: 1) planningand implementing the annual smolt monitoring program called forin Section 304(d)(2); 2) developing and implementing flow andspill requests; and 3) monitoring and analyzing research resultsto assist in implementing the Water Budget and spill planning.The Fish Passage Center will function as the primary programcenter for housing data and information regarding juvenile fishpassage.[Abstract] The Federal project operators, Fish PassageManagers, fish passage advisor, and power system operators willcoordinate system operations for the current year and developexperimental use and accounting procedures for both themid-Columbia and Snake River Water Budgets. Experimental WaterBudget procedures shall be implemented for at least water years1987 and 1988. This committee also shall evaluate alternativeWater Budget implementation procedures and report to theCouncil.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To provide adequate flows for fish migrations, and to insure clearand timely integration of fish requirements and hydrosystemoperational decisions.Background and Progress to Date:The Council recognized that the agencies and Tribes lacked theexpertise to work with the owners and operators of the hydrosystem.The agencies and Tribes needed such expertise to assure that theWater Budget would be considered in all phases of hydrosystemplanning and operation. The Council therefore specified that BPAfund two Fish Passage Managers, one for the Tribes and one for theagencies. BPA has funded the operation of the Fish Passage Centerand the Fish Passage Data Information System since 1983.33

Plans:BPA plans to continue to fund the operation of the Fish PassageCenter, the Fish Passage Managers and support staff, and the FishPassage Data Information System to benefit the integration of fishand hydrosystem operational requirements, and to provide increasedadult returns by using supplemental flows in a timely fashion.34

2.22.2SMOLT MONITORING PROGRAM303(d)[Abstract1 BPA shall fund an annual smolt monitoring program tobe conducted by the agencies and Tribes. The monitoring programwill provide information on the migrating characteristics of thevarious salmon and steelhead stocks and will include:1. Field monitoring of smolt movement to determine thebest timing of storage releases;2. Coordination of runoff forecasts with water budgetusage and shaping;3. Continuous monitoring of runoff conditions and fishmovement at Lower Granite and Priest Rapids dams toprovide information to allow changes in water budgetusage if actual runoff conditions are inconsistentwith runoff forecasts; and4. Coordination of hatchery releases with water budgetusage.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To determine where all major groups of migrating, juvenile hatcheryand wild fish are in the hydrosystem. This information is used toimplement the Water Budget and communicate spill requests.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:Starting in the 197Os, spring flows in the Columbia River changeddramatically with the completion of major headwater storageprojects. This change helped flood control and power generation, butslowed the travel time of the outmigration. This resulted inincreased exposure to predation and increased mortality of thejuvenile salmon and steelhead. The Council sought to reduce themortality associated with the downstream migrations by increasing thespring flows. A Water Budget volume was derived from agencies' andTribes' recommendations and was specified for the mid-Columbia andlower Snake rivers. To be able to implement the Water Budgeteffectively, the smolt monitoring program has evolved to sample thedownstream juvenile migrations at numerous key locations throughoutthe hydrosystem.BPA plans to continue funding the smolt monitoring program to improvethe timely integration of the juvenile salmon and steelheadoutmigration with the operation of the hydrosystem.37

4.24.2 HABITAT AND PASSAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS(Consult with Project Sponsors on Need; Complete by 1991)703(c)(l)[Abstract] BPA shall fund habitat and tributary passageprojects as provided in Action Item 4.2. Upon Council approvalof system plans provided for in Section 205, System Planning,BPA shall fund habitat and passage restoration or improvementmeasures in those plans, including those measures identified inthe plans that are listed in Appendix A Table: PlanningInventory of Enhancement Projects.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To consult with project sponsors to determine whether projects listedin Action Item 4.2 are needed in the immediate future; to completethem by 1991 if they are needed.Background and Progress to Date:On May 7, 1987, BPA sent a letter to all habitat and tributarypassage project sponsors to determine whether the listed projectswere needed in the immediate future. All project sponsors, exceptWashington Department of Fisheries (WDF), stated that their listedprojects were needed in the immediate future. WDF (June 2, 1987)recommended the following actions:Subbasin Project RecommendationYakima ---- Thorpe Mill Screen Hold(USBR Project)87-57 Old Reservation DelayCanal Screen86-65 Snipes/Allen Screen DelayA total of 35 habitat and tributary passage improvement projects arelisted in the AIWP, including 31 ongoing projects, one deferredproject, and three new projects. Due to the large number of projectsinvolved in the implementation of Program Measure 703(c)(l), thediversity of activities included, and BPA's continuous implementationsupport of habitat and passage projects, a table format was developedand used to review BPA implementation in the FY 1987 Work Plan. Thesame table format (Table 4) has been used'in the current AIWP forprojects started before FY 1991. New projects that start in FY 1991and future FYs will be described using the same format as is used inthe rest of the AIWP, with completed, ongoing, deferred, and newprojects described in separate tables.47

Table 4 covers research projects, evaluation projects, and habitatand passage enhancement projects. The last group is listed bysubbasin, beginning with the Willamette/Clackamas River subbasin andproceeding upriver to the Salmon River subbasin. Informationpresented in the Table includes: the project description, currentproject status, and contract-effective period.In FY 1987, BPA developed an Implementation Plan outline for habitatand passage enhancement projects and asked Project Leaders tocomplete Implementation Plans in FY 1988. BPA funding in FY 1988 wascontingent upon completion of plans for all ongoing and newprojects. Plans were completed for ongoing projects funded inFY 1988.These habitat and passage enhancement project Implementation Planswill improve planning and scheduling of implementation efforts andwill clearly define the projects. The plans will also enable BPA toaccurately determine the funding required for completion of aproject. Each completed Implementation Plan contains:1) background information, such as specific project location,existing conditions, fishery resources, land use activities, andlimiting factors; 2) enhancement techniques and an implementationschedule; 3) expected increase in fish production due to the project;4) methods for monitoring physical habitat changes resulting from theproject; and 5) cost of the project, including total cost and cost byfiscal year. BPA expects projects to be implemented as planned andscheduled in the Implementation Plans.Plans:BPA will continue to implement the projects listed in Action Item 4.2(If they are needed in the immediate future> and plans to completemost of them by 1991.48

4.64.6 WATER EXCHANGE FOR UMATILLA RIVER(Support Beginning Spring 1987)(Report Evaluations: Annually)703(a>(17)[Abstract] BPA shall provide power or reimbursement for powercosts to USBR pumping plants designed to exchange Columbia Riverwater for Umatilla River water. The USBR must obtain consentfrom all affected water users and regulators and provideassurance to the Council that water exchanged to augmentstreamflows will be used to meet annual flow objectivesestablished by the ODFW and the CTUIR. The Oregon WaterResources Department (OWRD> will certify annually to the Councilthat the exchanged water will improve instream flows and willbenefit fish. The USBR shall fund state and tribal fish andwildlife agency monitoring and evaluation studies to determinethe biological effectiveness of this measure.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To support instream flow enhancement efforts, which will increaseUmatilla anadromous fish production by improving passage and rearingconditions.Background and Progress to Date:Federal authorizing legislation prepared by project sponsors wasapproved in fall 1988. The Council amended the Program to providefor BPA funding of power costs associated with interim pumping. USBRwill handle operation and maintenance, capital and evaluationactivities.Because the original Program language did not include interim pumpingand because USBR pumping plants are still in the planning/designstage, no water exchanges under this Action Item took place untilSpring 1989. Through passage-assistance projects (Projects 87-409and 88-50) under Action Item 4.2, BPA had provided for pumping powerto operate existing West Extension Irrigation District (WEID) pumpsto increase flows below Three Mile Dam during spring and fall 1987and during spring and fall 1988.In June 1989, the USBR, with assistance from BPA, OWRD, ODFW, Tribes,and the Basin Steering Committee, finalized a basin work plan thatincluded the schedule for interim pumping and project completion anddefined the scope of monitoring and evaluation activities. BPA andUSBR entered into an Interim Pumping Agreement in 1990 to provide forthe transfer of funds for power costs associated with interimpumping.The first interim pumping under this Program measure tookplace in spring 1989. In spring 1990, USBR and BPA began planningfor power needs for the CRB.81

4.6.14.6.1 EVALUATE NON-STRUCTURAL WATER MEASURES IN UMATILLA BASIN(Develop Workplan, Report to Council in April 1989)703(a)(17>[Abstract] BPA, USBR, Council, Oregon Water ResourcesDepartment, and other interested parties shall jointly prepare aworkplan for an evaluation of non-structural alternatives thatmay benefit fish and hydropower generation, and whether thecombined benefits of such measures can be quantified.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:Identify and evaluate alternative means of providing enhanced plans,other than pumping/exchange projects.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:ProjectsThis action item has been subsumed by the USBR "Section 213" study,mandated by Public Law 100-557. Section 213 instructs USBR to reviewUmatilla Project Operations to identify ways to further mitigatefishery losses. This study encompasses so-called "non-structural"measures in the Program, such as contracts, conservation, reservoirstorage allocation, water deliveries, water rights, and water leaseand purchase. USBR completed review of the report, finalized it andsubmitted it to Congress in late 1989.USBR to be prepared to follow up on any recommendations Congress maydirect.None.85

4.14.14.14.1 TEMPORARY JOHN DAY ACCLIMATION FACILITY(Upon Council Approval, Complete Construction by Spring 1988)703(f)(Z)(B) Upon the Council's approval of the plan, Bonneville shall funddesign, construction, and evaluation of the temporary facilities.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To build and test the effectiveness of acclimation ponds for upriverbright fall chinook salmon from John Day Mitigation Facilities.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:Acclimation facilities reduce the transportation stress of upriverbright fall chinook transported from John Day Mitigation facilitiesfor release above John Day Dam.During the first 2 years of the Fish and Wildlife Program,disagreements among affected parties over the location of theacclimation ponds made it difficult for BPA to implement thisMeasure. When the Council amended the Program in 1984, it providedfor: (1) an agency and Tribal plan to be approved before anyconstruction; and (2) an evaluation of temporary acclimation ponds.In FY 1986, BPA initiated a site survey of 10 candidate acclimationfacility sites (Project 86-82) to assist the agencies and Tribes indeveloping their plan. The joint agency-Tribal work group and theCouncil have been provided the completion report for the site studycompleted under Project 86-82. They will select the final site(s) tobe used for acclimation.BPA plans to fund the design, construction, and evaluation of theJohn Day Temporary Acclimation ponds, once the Fish and Wildlifeagencies and Tribes have developed the acclimation pond plan and theplan has been approved by the Council. BPA removed Project 89-16,Temporary John Day Acclimation Facility, from the FY 1990 AIWP andhas not included it in the FY 1991 AIWP. BPA will continue to fundProject 83-313 through completion.87

4.17.14.17.1 JUVENILE RELEASE/ADULT COLLECTION AND HOLDING FACILITIES ON UMATILLARESERVATION(Operate, Maintain)703(f)(l)[Abstract] BPA shall fund the Confederated Tribes of theUmatilla Reservation (CTUIR) to operate and maintain the Boniferand Minthorn juvenile release and adult collection and holdingfacilities on the reservation.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARYObjectives:To fund operation, maintenance, and evaluation of the Bonifer andMinthorn facilities.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:The facilities are to acclimate and imprint juvenile salmon andsteelhead before release into the Umatilla River, thereby increasingsurvival of juveniles and the homing ability of adults. Thefacilities are also used to hold adults before artificial spawning.When constructed, the Umatilla Hatchery (Project 84-33; ActionItem 4.17.2) will rear juveniles for acclimation at the Minthorn andBonifer facilities. Currently, juveniles from other hatcheries areacclimated at the facilities.BPA has funded the operation and maintenance of the Bonifer andMinthorn facilities since construction in 1983 and 1985, respectively.During this time, about 979,000 fall chinook, 660,000 springchinook, 307,000 coho salmon, and 192,000 steelhead juveniles havebeen acclimated and released. A study to evaluate the fisherybenefits and operation of the acclimation facilities was begun inFY 1987.BPA will continue fundthe facilities throughas long as there is aning operation, maintenance, and evaluation ofan Intergovernmental Agreement with the CTUIRAction Item calling for BPA funding. BPAexpects that results of the evaluation study will be used by theCTUIR to determine the actual fishery benefits of acclimation, toselect effective juvenile release strategies, and to improveoperational efficiency.99

4.17.24.17.2 EXPANDED UMATILLA HATCHERY(Fund, upon Council Approval>'03(f)(l)(A) [Abstract] BPA shall fund the construction of a facility totest the efficacy of oxygen supplementation hatchery techniquesto produce up to 290,000 pounds of summer steelhead and chinooksalmon smolts. These smolts shall be for release in theUmatilla juvenile release and adult collection holdingfacilities and for outplanting in the upper Umatilla River toenhance natural and hatchery production. Prior to constructionof this facility, the ODFW and the CTUIR will develop a facilitymaster plan for Council approval.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To provide an improved contribution of anadromous fish productionfrom the Umatilla River to the Columbia River Basin.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:The facilities are to produce 290,000 pounds of salmon and steelheadjuveniles for release in the Umatilla Subbasin to enhance natural andhatchery production. Hatchery production may also be used in othersubbasins. A secondary purpose of the hatchery is to demonstrateoxygen supplementation technology. BPA began funding hatchery designin FY 1986 and hatchery master planning in FY 1987. The CTUIR andODFW have been conducting a release program using fish from otherhatcheries since 1982, and intend to continue until this hatchery isoperational. The final design was completed during 1988, and theMaster Plan was approved in October 1989. Agreement was reached in1988 that the hatchery will be operated by ODFW as a joint facilitywith Irrigon hatchery and that the Umatilla Tribes will beresponsible for preparing the annual operating plan.The final design estimates revealed that the hatchery will cost morethan originally expected. The cost increases are due to designevolution, delays in project implementation, changing site conditionsat the well, and water production shortfalls. Costs have risen about$4.0 million to total $12.0 million. Construction began inMarch 1990.When the hatchery is completed in 1991, BPA will fund its operationand maintenance. After completion, BPA also expects to evaluatehatchery effectiveness. Planning for satellite facilities will beginin FY 1990, with the need to have one or two additional chinook adultholding facilities on line before the mid-1990s.101

HATCHERY EFFECTIVENESS----- IMPROVED HATCHERY EFFECTIVENESS(Former Action Item 34.23)703(e) [Abstract] Measure 703(e) concerns 'I Improved Propagation at ExistingFacilities" and gives priority to improving and reprogrammingpropagation at existing facilities, over construction of newfacilities. The measure includes: (1) research, development, anddemonstration of improved husbandry practices; (2) strategies for andrearing operations aimed at improved operating efficiencies ofhatcheries and increased adult returns; (3) genetic stock assessment;(4) improved fish health protection; and (5) developing sensitive andreliable indices of smolt quality and readiness to migrate.TECHNICAL SUBJECT ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To identify and fund research, demonstration, or other projectsnecessary to accomplish improvements in the effectiveness of existinghatcheries.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:This section of the AIWP contains four improved hatcheryeffectiveness and fish health projects begun under former ProgramAction Item 34.23. In 1987, the Council amended the Program todelete Action Item 34.23 and form a Hatchery Effectiveness TechnicalWork Group (HETWG) and a Fish Disease Technical Work Group (FDTWG).These groups, composed of experts in hatchery effectiveness and fis 1health, developed Five-Year Research Work Plans to address thetechnical needs of the Hatchery Effectiveness_.and Fish DiseaseResearch Areas of Emphasis, Section 206(b)(l)(c), and Program Measure703(e). These plans are discussed under Action Item 6.1 in the AIWP.BPA continues to fund to completion those projects begun under formerAction Item 34.23. One of the currently funded projects isconducting research on infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN)virus. This disease was rated as one of the most important diseaseproblems by the FDTWG in its Work Plan. Other projects are pursuingfish nutrition research and identification of the Ceratomyxa Shastalife cycle. Construction of the Regional Fish Disease Laboratory wascompleted in June 1990.BPA plans to continue funding ongoing multiple-year projects begununder former Action Item 34.23, after reviewing their progress. Nonew projects will be initiated under Action Item 34.23, as it wasdeleted from the 1987 Program.

4.17.54.17.5 WILLAMETTE BASIN STUDY PLAN(Fund; Coordinate with Supplementation Work Plan)703(h)(2)[Abstract] BPA shall provide funds to study the best method ofsupplementing natural stocks of spring chinook with hatcherystocks in the Willamette River.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To fund a study to supplement the Willamette spring chinook runswithout adversely affecting natural runs of resident fishery or thegenetic integrity of the Columbia Basin fish populations.Background and Progress to Date:Supplementation, or outplanting, has been identified by the agencies,Tribes, and the Council as one of the main ways to increase ColumbiaRiver salmon and steelhead runs. This project aims to develop thebest methods for supplementing spring chinook in the WillametteBasin, in order to develop and maintain maximum sustained yield andto maintain genetic diversity.Phase I, completed during September 1985, surveyed the literature ofoutplanting efforts and developed a detailed study design forevaluating possible Willamette Basin strategies. Phase II proposedplanting fry, presmolts, and adults in areas with differentproduction potential. The g-year evaluation would determine whichlife stage of spring chinook to outplant for maximum survival.A major review included the study design and the relationship toSection 703(h)(l), the overall work plan for supplementation.Section 703(h)(2) concerns only Willamette Basin spring chinook. Thereview, completed in FY 1986, concluded that the initial study designviewed outplanting as a potential continuing effort to supplementhatchery production by using hatchery surpluses. However, bothMeasures 703(h)(l) and 703(h)(2) view outplanting as a temporarymeans of enhancing natural production or re-establishing naturalruns. Rebuilding natural runs was not addressed in the study plan,though it is one of the highest priorities of the Program.The impacts of outplanting on resident fish will not be answered bythis study design. BPA believes, however, that these impacts shouldbe addressed in supplementation research.1 1 3

Plans:Projects:BPA submitted the study plan to the STWG for review, realizing therelationship with 703(h)(l) that this study should address. Measure703(h)(2) was not a high priority in the STWG Five-Year Work Plan.However, BPA will develop a work plan and initiate research when andif the STWG determines it is a high priority for achieving theobjectives of the Supplementation Research Work Plan.No BPA-funded projects are planned for FY 1991.1 1 4

This production shall be in additionto the fish propagated in the ladder by Portland GeneralElectric to mitigate the effects of Pelton and Round Butte damsand will not affect the mitigation responsibilities of thatcompany. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and theConfederated Tribes of Warm Springs will develop a master planfor Council approval prior to BPA funding of design andconstruction. The master plan should contain the same type ofinformation as in other hatchery master plans for Yakima,Umatilla, and northeastern Oregon facilities.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:Fund the design and construction of propagation facilities at thePelton Dam ladder; fund the propagation of salmon and/or steelhead.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:BPA is awaiting development of the master plan by the fisheriesagencies and Tribes. The Master Plan will be complete June 1990.When the Council approves the agency and Tribal joint master plan forthe Pelton Dam ladder rearing: BPA will form a work group to assistin the completion of this Action Item.

5.15.1 KNOWN STOCK FISHERIES FIVE-YEAR DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM(Co-Fund to Test Electrophoresis: Begin 1985 Ocean Fishing Season orSubsequent Seasons>503(b)(l)The Council supports in-season management of mixed-stockfisheries using electrophoresis to profile the contribution ofthe different upriver stocks. BPA shall share funding with thefishery management agencies of a five-year program thatdemonstrates the effectiveness of this technique in profilingthe ocean fisheries more accurately and in refining harvestregulations to protect Columbia River stocks. At the conclusionof the five-year program, the fishery management agencies willpropose a plan for further action.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To demonstrate the effectiveness of the electrophoresis technique forprofiling the contribution of individual Columbia River stocks inmixed populations.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:Projects:BPA contributed funds to a study to perfect the electrophoresistechnique to differentiate fish stocks and to demonstrate itsapplicability in the Columbia River Basin (Project 79-l). BPA fundedfurther application of this technique (Project 83-451) to determineseparate stocks of Columbia Basin anadromous fish. These efforts andthose of the fishery management entities have produced a provenelectrophoresis technique. This technique is now widely applied infisheries management and could be applied to profile mixed stockocean fisheries. The technique may also soon be used to determinewhether sturgeon populations in the United States stretches of theKootenai River are different from those in Canadian waters. BPAtherefore believes that further research to improve stockidentification methods as part of a hydroelectric mitigation programis unnecessary. Stock identification is now a matter of prescriptiveapplication.BPA has no further plans for this Action Item.None.1 1 9

6.16.1 TECHNICAL WORK GROUPS(Begin to Fund in FY 1987)206(b)(l)[Abstract] BPA shall focus its funding of salmon and steelheadresearch in the next five years in the following areas ofemphasis:1. Studying water budget effectiveness and reservoir mortality;2. Controlling disease problems affecting spring and summerchinook;3. Exploring methods for substantially increasing andimproving hatchery production at existing hatcheries withinthe next 10 years; and4. Improving supplementation techniques.BPA shall fund technical work groups composed of representativesof the Fish and Wildlife agencies, tribes, hydropower projectoperators and BPA, with technical input from other experts, todevelop Five-Year Work Plans for each of the areas listedabove.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To fund the establishment of a TWG in each of the four areas ofresearch emphasis and to fund the development of Five-Year Work Plans.Background and Progress to Date:BPA funded the establishment of four TWGs in FY 1987. Each has madeprogress in its tasks:1. Reservoir Mortality and Water Budget Effectiveness TechnicalWork Group (M/WBTWG>:The M/WBTWG agreed on four areas of emphasis: survival and flowrelationships, predation, smoltification, and dam operations.As opinion was distinctly divided on the focus of survival andflow relationships, two Work Plans were submitted to the Councilin September 1987. The fishery agencies/Tribes plan emphasizedlong-term monitoring to determine the effectiveness of the WaterBudget and examination of the mechanisms of reservoirmortality. The BPA/USACE/PNUCC plan emphasized shorter-termsurvival research and simultaneous research on both theand mechanisms involved in reservoir mortality. This latterplan also maintains a basal monitoring program. To date, BPAnegotiates and funds research projects. In FY 1990, three newprojects were, or will be, implemented.ext

2. Fish Disease Technical Work Group (FDTWG):The FDTWG submitted a work plan to the Council in September 1987.The plan focused on eight major diseases/pathogens and theirbiological, economic, and programmatic impact on the ColumbiaRiver anadromous fishery resources. Basic information needs wereidentified and categorized by the level of urgency in relationshipto the Fish and Wildlife Program. During 1988, the Councilapproved the FDTWG's Five-Year Work Plan.In FY 1990 this program area budget was reduced dramatically,causing the PRG to put four new projects into a contingency file.These projects were:90-46, Effects and Control of Whirling Disease90-47, Bacterial Coldwater Disease Research90-48, Ectoparasite Research90-57, Ceratomyxa ControlThe FDTWG did not change the priority of these projects.During FY 1990 the FDTWG reviewed, with outside assistance, threeongoing projects:84-43, IHN Sub-unit Vaccine Development and Evaluation83-312, Epidemiology of 5 Pathogens89-31, Control of BKD via ELISA3. Hatchery Effectiveness Technical Work Group (HETWG):The HETWG developed evaluation criteria and weighting factors forresearch and demonstration projects. They ranged from increasingsurvival of salmon and steelhead (5.7 weight> and increasingproduction (5.2) down to improving evaluation methods (2.4) andbasic research (1.0). These criteria were used to prioritizeresearch topics, ranging from husbandry practices to improvesurvival or production (ranked No. 1) and the meeting of futurenutritional needs (no. 2) down to the water quality standards'potential to limit artificial propagation (no. 10) and potentialfor modifying fish behavior to increase survival (no. 11). Planswere drafted for each topic. The HETWG Work Plan was submitted tothe Council in September 1987. The Council adopted this plan inJanuary 1988.During FY 1990 no new projects were started under the HETWG. Arevised Five-Year Work Plan will be completed in FY 1990 that willidentify 5-6 high priority projects. Priority status will bebased, in part, on the project's ability to directly increaseadult production and those projects whose results are not sitespecific.1 2 2

4. Supplementation Technical Work Group (STWG):During FY 1987, the STWG was formed in accordance with Sections206(b)(l) and (2) of the Program. The STWG has developed aFive-Year Research Work Plan addressing stock selection, time ofrelease, and other factors affecting the success ofsupplementation activities. The Five-Year Work Plan was submittedto the Council in June 1988. The Council approved the Plan inSeptember 1988 with the provision that they approve all projectsin advance of implementation.The STWG identified six research projects during FY 1989 thataddressed the research needs identified in the Work Plan. Threeof these projects were developed in sufficient detail for approvaland procurement activities to begin. The following three projectswere implemented in FY 1989:1. Project 89-96, A Genetic Monitoring and Evaluation Programfor Supplemented Populations of Salmon and Steelhead in theUpper Columbia River Basin.2. Project 89-97, Evaluation of the Success of SupplementingImnaha River Summer Steelhead with Hatchery Reared Smolts andAssessment of the Effect on Natural Production Performance,Life History Characteristics, and Genetic Characteristics.3. Project 89-98, Determination of Effectiveness ofSupplementation Strategies and Assessment of InteractionBetween Supplemental Hatchery Chinook Salmon and NaturalPopulations in the Salmon, Snake, and Clearwater Rivers inIdaho.The STWG identified five projects for possible implementation inFY 1990. Additional review by the STWG reduced the number ofprojects for possible implementation in FY 1990 to three. Theseprojects will need further development and refinement prior tosubmittal for approval and procurement. This activity will takeplace through September 1990. The STWG did not identifyadditional projects for implementation in FY 1991.Plans:BPA will continue to fund the TWGs as long as the Program containsa Measure calling for BPA funding.1 2 3

Measure 206(b) in the Program directs BPA tofocus its funding of salmon and steelhead research in the nextfive years in the four areas of emphasis described under ActionItem 6.1 in BPA's Work Plan. Technical Work Groups in each ofthe areas of emphasis will develop a Five-Year Research WorkPlan for Council approval and BPA funding beginning in FY 1988.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:The Council Technical Work Group (TWG) process was instituted tofocus research planning in four areas of technical emphasisconsidered fundamental to the success of the Fish and WildlifeProgram. BPA will incorporate the results of the TWG planning intothe annual work planning process and will pursue implementation ofthe research identified and prioritized by the TWGs and approved bythe Council.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:The four TWGs (Reservoir Mortality and Water Budget Effectiveness,Fish Disease, Hatchery Effectiveness, and Supplementation) submittedFive-Year Research Work Plans in 1987 or early 1988 for Councilreview and approval. BPA began funding projects from the Work Plansin late FY 1988.BPA plans to continue funding projects from the TWG Five-Year WorkPlans in FY 1991.1 2 5

The Councilexpects research planning consultation to occur among agencies,Tribes, and project operators and regulators. The Council willencourage improved coordination of fish and wildlife efforts byconsulting with the fish and wildlife agencies, Tribes, projectoperators and regulators, BPA customers, Federal and state water andland management agencies, irrigation districts, academic experts, andinterested citizens groups.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:In conjunction with the Council and the Ad-Hoc Roles Committee ofCBFWA, BPA has participated in the development of a formal processthrough which BPA and the Fish and Wildlife agencies and Tribesjointly plan! and BPA subsequently implements, the Fish and WildlifeProgram. This process provides for the involvement of the region'sFish and Wildlife agencies and Tribes at relevant decision-makingpoints and should improve coordination and consistency between BPA'simplementation actions and the agencies' and Tribes' existing andfuture management activities.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:In early April 1987, BPA staff began meeting with Council staff andan ad-hoc committee of CBFWA. The meetings focused on explainingBPA's process for implementing the Program, from inception throughcompletion. Participants agreed to continue discussion, with a goalof developing a collaborative and cooperative process through whichBPA would plan and implement the Program. As a result of thesediscussions, an Implementation Planning Process (IPP) was developed(see Section III of the AIWP).The IPP was endorsed by the BPA Administrator and the CBFWA Chairmanon October 19, 1988. The IPP's Policy Review Group (PRG) was formedin late 1988. In January 1989, the PRG began providing BPA withpolicy and funding recommendations related to Programimplementation. The PRG continues to serve a forum for policycoordination and consultation among BPA, fish and wildlife agencies,Tribes, utility interests, Council, and other interested parties.The AIWP is based on the outline developed by the PRG during Step 1of the annual IPP cycle.BPA plans to continue to use the IPP as a coordination andconsultation mechanism and to develop the AIWP.1 6 7

Resultswill be submitted to the Council by November 15, 1987.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To determine the effects of reservoir operations on fish in Libby andHungry Horse Reservoirs. Identify mitigation projects in theFlathead Basin in relation to construction and operation of theHungry Horse hydroproject.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:Projects at Libby and Hungry Horse Reservoirs have been funded since1983. Both projects were designed to document the effects of waterlevel fluctuations on resident fish. The fluctuations reduce primaryand secondary production in the reservoirs, hence they have a directimpact on fish production. Annual reports from 1983 through 1988document these effects. Mitigation alternatives for losses from theconstruction and operation of Hungry Horse Dam are described in thefinal report for BPA-funded Project 85-23. The models developedduring the project have been critically reviewed by researchers atthe University of Washington.Recommendations for further action will be submitted to the Councilafter completion of the studies. Biological models will be runconcurrently with the System Analysis Model to help guiderecommendations.2 0 5

FUTURE HYDROELECTRIC DEVELOPMENTACTION ITEMS AND TECHNICAL SUBJECTS2 4 5

9.19.1 APPLICATION OF PROGRAM SECTIONS 1204(a), (b), (c), AND (e) TO NEWPROJECTS1103 (a-c, e) [Abstract] These measures direct BPA and the hydroelectricproject operators and regulators not to license, exempt fromlicense, relicense, propose, recommend, agree to acquire powerfrom, grant billing credits for, or otherwise support anyhydroelectric development in the Columbia River Basin withoutproviding for numerous development conditions related toprotection of fish and wildlife resources.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To apply Program Section 1103(a-c, e) to all new hydro projects.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:Projects:BPA is applying these Program sections to the BPA Hydro OptionsProgram.BPA will continue to apply these program sections to the BPA HydroOptions Program and any future hydro development.No BPA-funded projects.2 4 7

9.39.3 ASSESSMENT OF CUMULATIVE EFFECTS(Complete Study; Develop Methods: June 1987)1103(b)(2)Develop methods for assessing the cumulative effects ofhydroelectric development upon fish and wildlife in the ColumbiaRiver Basin.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To review all pertinent literature on potential cumulativehydroelectric effects, for specific key fish and wildlife species; toanalyze existing techniques for assessment of identified cumulativeeffects; to develop an array of recommended pertinent assessmenttechniques for a cumulative effects method; and to develop ahypothetical example of a cumulative assessment using the method.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:Projects:Development of a cumulative effects method supported the Council'sdesire to have all applications or proposals for hydroelectricdevelopment reviewed in a consolidated manner. Project 84-4 1(completed in 1987) developed a methodology to assess potentialcumulative effects.BPA has no plans for further funding.No BPA-funded projects.2 4 9

9.4 TURBINE INTAKE SCREENS(Develop New Designs, Complete Tests, Report to Council: January 1989)9.41103(d)Bonneville shall fund studies to determine the effectiveness ofnew designs for turbine intake screens and their suitability forapplication at small hydroelectric projects.ACTION ITEM ACTIVITY SUMMARY:Objectives:To develop a new standard fish screen that is biologically efficientand cost-effective for hydro developers.Background and Progress to Date:Plans:ProjectsInstallation and maintenance of currently available screening systemsare expensive and must be tailored to the site. Most present screensystems have not been tested sufficiently to be characterized asproven. Existing designs and new designs must be evaluated todetermine which designs are biologically and economically efficient.The suitability of screen designs for application at smallhydroelectric facilities must also be determined. The intent is toprovide acceptable fish screen designs with general applicability forregional hydropower developers.Presently deferred, since BPA's adoption of Protected Areas in itsLong-Term Intertie Access Policy provides protection for fishinvestments through denying access to the Pacific Northwest-PacificSouthwest Intertie to any new hydroelectric projects located indesignated Protected Areas of the Columbia River Basin.No BPA-funded projects.2 5 1

The AIWP is intended to contain:1. A report on progress to date on each Action Item.2. A description of the activities to be undertaken under eachAction Item, including;Background and Proqress to Date:Plans:a. the objective of each activity, andb. the schedule for each activity, including kevdecision po nts and major milestones.Annually since FY 1986, BPA has completed a Program Work Plan andsubmitted this plan to the Coun Cil.In 1987, BPA began developing aProgram Implementation PlanningProcess (IPP) that would provide an opportunity for the agencies,Tribes, and other interested parties to become more involved inplanning the implementation of the Program. Development of thisprocess was completed in 1988, and the IPP (see Section III) wasendorsed by the BPA Administrator and the Chairman of the CBFWA onOctober 19, 1988. The IPP's Policy Review Group (PRG) was formed inlate 1988. In January 1989, the PRG began providing BPA with policyand funding recommendations related to Program implementation. TheAIWP is based on the outline developed by the PRG during Step 1 ofthe annual IPP annual cycle.The AIWP will continue to be developed through the IPP.2 5 5

United StatesDepartment ofAgricultureForestServicePacific319 S.W. Pine StreetNorthwest P.O. Box 3623Region Portland, OR 97208-3623Reply To: 2600Date: August 10, 1990Mr. John PalenskyBonneville Power AdministrationPO Box 21Portland, OR 97208Dear Mr.Palensky:My fisheries staff has reviewed the Draft 1991 Columbia Basin Fish and WildlifeProgram Annual Implementation Work Plan and agree with many of the HabitatImprovement and Passage Enhancement selections. These projects, aimed atrestoring stream habitat capability to full potential, will play an importantrole in maintaining the genetic viability of wild stocks in the Columbia.The selection of several hatchery augmentation, and/or supplementation programsgenerates some concern. Review of the CBFWA memorandum generated by theScientific Review Group on the Hatchery Effectiveness Work Plan indicates thatnumerous information deficiencies exist with hatchery effectiveness.Specifically, more information is needed on the potential impacts of increasedhatchery production on wild-stocks. In light of increasing concern onmaintaining genetic diversity and identity of these stocks, we suggest thatemphasis be placed on those proposals that serve to answer these questions, orpromote existing natural and wild-stock diversity.Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the 1991 Annual Implementation WorkPlan. Strengthening communication between Fisheries Management Agencies willserve to better meet the established Columbia Basin goals.b-d EBERNIE RIOSActing Columbia Basin Coordinatorcc:Harv Forsgren - R4Rick Stowell - RlGordon Haugen - WO Fish and WildlifeA - 3
