Book Description
The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) and Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) entered into a contract agreement beginning in 1996 to fund watershed restoration and enhancement actions and contribute to recovery of fish and wildlife resources and water quality in the Grande Ronde River Basin. The CTUIR's habitat program is closely coordinated with the Grande Ronde Model Watershed Program and multiple agencies and organizations within the basin. The CTUIR has focused during the past 4 years in the upper portions of the Grande Ronde Subbasin (upstream of LaGrande, Oregon) on several major project areas in the Meadow, McCoy, and McIntyre Creek watersheds and along the mainstem Grande Ronde River. This Annual Report provides an overview of individual projects and accomplishments.

Book Description
This Annual Report provides a detailed overview of watershed restoration accomplishments achieved by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) and project partners in the Upper Grande Ronde River Basin under contract with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) during the period July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998. The Contract Agreement entitled McCoy Meadows Watershed Restoration Project (Project No. 96-83-01) includes habitat restoration planning, design, and implementation in two project areas--the McCoy Meadows Ranch located in the Meadow, McCoy, and McIntyre Creek subbasins on private land and the Mainstem Grande Ronde River Habitat Enhancement Project located on private and National Forest System lands near Bird Tract Springs along the Grande Ronde River. During the contract period, the CTUIR and partners (Mark and Lorna Tipperman, landowners), Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) initiated phase 1 construction of the McCoy Meadows Restoration Project. Phase 1 involved reintroduction of a segment of McCoy Creek from its existing channelized configuration into a historic meander channel. Project efforts included bioengineering and tree/shrub planting and protection, transporting salvaged cottonwood tree boles and limbs from offsite source to the project area for utilization by resident beaver populations for forage and dam construction materials, relocation of existing BPA/ODFW riparian corridor fencing to outer edges of meadow floodplain, establishment of pre-project photo points, and coordination of other monitoring and evaluation efforts being led by other project partners including groundwater monitoring wells, channel cross sections, water quality monitoring stations, juvenile population sampling index sites, redd surveys, and habitat surveys. Project activities also included coordination with the U.S. Forest Service, Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, LaGrande Ranger District (USFS) on the Forest Road 2137 (McIntyre Road) Relocation and Obliteration Project and the McCoy Creek crossing. The USFS completed engineering designs under the cooperative effort for the McCoy Creek crossing. Project activities accomplished on the Upper Mainstem Large Wood Addition Project included placement of approximately 120 whole trees to enhance instream structural diversity, pool habitat quality, streambank stability, and improved floodplain morphology. Project activities accomplished on the Mainstem Grande Ronde Habitat Enhancement Project included coordination with landowners (Shauna Musgrove of Cuhna Ranches, Dean Stone, and the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, LaGrande Ranger District) to develop a habitat enhancement/restoration project opportunity along a 3 mile section of the mainstem Grande Ronde River and major tributaries including the lower reaches of Bear Creek and Jordan Creek. Upon securing an agreement with the landowners, project partners including the CTUIR, ODFW, NRCS, and USFS initiated development of project objectives and site-specific designs. By June 1998, project designs were completed and preparations nearly complete to initiate onsite project construction.

Book Description
"The CTUIR Grande Ronde Subbasin Restoration Project, initiated by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in 1996, is an ongoing effort to protect, enhance, and restore riparian and instream habitat for natural production of anadromous salmonids in the Grande Ronde River Subbasin. Project activities focus on improving juvenile rearing habitat with emphasis on restoring natural channel morphology and floodplain function, cold water refuge, complex aquatic habitat. During 2002-2003, the CTUIR, in cooperation with multiple partners, completed the McCoy Meadows Restoration Project, Longley Meadows Restoration Project, and the Mainstem Grande Ronde River Habitat Enhancement Project. Project activities included development of project designs, completion of environmental compliance and regulatory permitting requirements, procurement of construction services and materials, pre-construction preparations (survey and staking), project construction, and bioengineering/revegetation. Baseline and ongoing monitoring and evaluation activities were also completed during the reporting period on major project areas. Activities included collection and evaluation of water temperature data, groundwater data, vegetation plots and transects, channel cross sections and longitudinal profiles, and photo points. Ongoing project maintenance, including fence repair, vegetation management, and monitoring for trespass livestock, was accomplished."--From abstract.

Book Description
The Willow Creek watershed provides significant habitat for federally listed Snake River summer steelhead, potential spawning and rearing habitat for spring Chinook salmon, and supports a variety of native resident fish. The Willow Creek Fish Habitat Enhancement Project includes over 4 miles of spawning and rearing habitat with forested, higher gradient, C4 channels in the upper reaches of the project area and low gradient, wetland meadow, C4/C5 and E channel forms in the lower 2/3's of the project area. The area presents extensive potential to provide summer and winter rearing habitat for salmonids with suitable spawning habitat for steelhead in the upper project reaches. Project implementation began in summer 2012 with the stream bank shaping, placement of large wood complexes along project area streams, and excavation and reactivation of a 1 mile historic channel segment along lower Willow Creek. Following construction, disturbed areas, including streambanks, large wood sites, upland terraces and the re-activation channel reach were planted with a native grass seed mix and mulched with straw. An extensive riparian tree and shrub planting effort is scheduled to begin during spring 2013 to facilitate development of riparian vegetation. Additional activities planned for 2013 include weed control and replacement of 4 undersized culverts on fish bearing, spring fed tributaries. The following table provides an overview of the Willow Creek Fish Habitat Enhancement Project.
