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.

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
