Guide to Action Tables

The Action Agencies have developed a database for planning and reporting of BiOp 

implementation measures. This database was used to produce the tables included in this 

Appendix. The database is undergoing continual refinement and some errors may be apparent. 

The Action Agencies are working together to maintain and update this database.

The tables provide detailed information about the Action Agencies’ planned BiOp 

implementation projects. Each table shows a different grouping of the planned projects. To 

assist the reader, a sample of each Table is labeled below.

Table 3 includes five reports that provide cross-references between the Action Agency BiOp 

Project Id (a unique identifier generated by the database that is permanently assigned to each 

Action Agency project), NMFS and USFWS BiOp action numbers (assigned in the NMFS and 

USFWS BiOps), Provinces/Subbasins, and ESUs. Reports 1 through 4 are intended to be crossreferenced with the detailed Project summary information provided in Report 5. 

A brief description of each report is included below.

Report 1: Action Agency Projects for each NMFS BiOp Action

The report lists each Action Agency BiOp Project Id that is associated with a NMFS BiOp 

Action. A comprehensive description of each Project can be found in Report 5. 

Report 2: Action Agency Projects for each USFWS BiOp Action

The report lists each Action Agency BiOp Project Id that is associated with a USFWS BiOp

Action. A comprehensive description of each Project can be found in Report 5. 

Report 3: Action Agency Projects for each Province and Subbasin

The report lists each Action Agency BiOp Project Id that is associated with each subbasin within 

a Province. A comprehensive description of each Project can be found in Report 5. 

Report 4: Action Agency Projects for each ESU

The report lists each Action Agency BiOp Project Id that is associated with each ESU. A 

comprehensive description of each Project can be found in Report 5. 

Report 5: Action Agency Projects Summaries

In order by BiOp Project Id, this report lists the Action Agency project summaries. When used 

as a cross reference with Reports 1 to 4, the reader can glean more detailed project information 

about BiOp implementation than may be available in the narrative portion of the Plan.

A report detailing the location, description and number of migration barriers and unscreened diversions in ten Yakima subbasin tributaries. This report will be provided in 

increments as addenda to the management plan and as surveys are completed. Identify sites and structures that provide migratory access for juvenile and adult 

anadromous salmonids, in all tributaries deemed economically feasible for fixing. Install irrigation diversion screens to provide safe access to tributaries, by preventing 

entrainment into irrigation ditches. Develop conservation easements and property acquisition on habitats with high functional value. Coordinate with lasdowners on fencing 

to protect riparian habitat from improper grazing. Prepare quarterly and annual reports on project efforts and results, including number of miles of tributary rearing habitat that 

is regained through the fishway/screening and habitat protection efforts. Update the Project Management Plan.

remain in grass for 10 years to reduce erosion. Land that does not meet CRP criteria, or patches that are too small to be enrolled. 9) Pasture Planting - reduce erosion, but 

can be grazed. Usually used close to riparian areas to reduce near-stream erosion. Required to be pasture for 10 years. Often mets CREP criteria, but farmer was not 

interested in signing up with CREP (under which use for grazing is not be allowed). 10) Terrace rebuilding - reduce erosion by retiering land. 11) Pipeline and spring

Similar, based on budget submitted - Planning = 1) Complete Pataha Creek Model Watershed Plan (PCMWP). 2) Implement Pataha Creek MWPa) Set up program with 

individual landowners - See implementation. 3) Coordinate PCMWP with the public and others to inform them about the program - a) Newsletters/newspaper-magazine 

articles, as applicable, b) Sponsor tours/workshops/ conferences, conduct PCMWP meetings, provide information and education with students. 4) Work with WSU on 

monitoring water quality to compare no-till, 2 pass seeding, and conventional seeding methods - a) Coordinate data collection, b) Operate water sediment samplers and 

electronic thermographs, c) Collect soil erosion data. 5) Coordinate salmon habitat work - a) Meet with landowners, Technical Adviory Committees, and WDFW, b) attend 

training into keep up to date on new techniques and opportunities.Implementation = 6) No till seeding (0-33% soil distrurbance - drill used to plant seed and fertilize). 7) 

Direct seeding (34-66% soil disturbance - 2 pass method- fertilizer then plant). 8) Critical Area seeding - grass seeding onto productive, but highly erodable land. Must 

remain in grass for 10 years to reduce erosion. Land that does not meet CRP criteria, or patches that are too small to be enrolled. 9) Pasture Planting - reduce erosion, but 

can be grazed. Usually used close to riparian areas to reduce near-stream erosion. Required to be pasture for 10 years. Often mets CREP criteria, but farmer was not 

interested in signing up with CREP (under which use for grazing is not be allowed). 10) Terrace rebuilding - reduce erosion by retiering land. 11) Pipeline and spring 

development. 12) Write Annual Report

Test Null Hypothesis: survival of larval sturgeon released over sand substrate is higher than larvae released over cobble substrate. Determine how changes in Kootenay Lake 

elevation effects white sturgeon spawning location. Will cost share with USGS. Evaluate the use of artificial substrates and instream structures to improve white sturgeon egg 

and larval survival and relocate sturgeon spawning. Test null hypothesis that winter operation of Libby Dam does not effect burbot migration distance or travel rate. Measure 

test and control in travel time, km/day. Test null hypothesis that high winter flows do not cause stress in burbot and impair reproductive fitness. Test null hypothesis under 

laboratory conditions that various flows and temperatures do not cause stress in burbot and impair reproductive fitness. Estimate the number of burbot from Bonners Ferry, 

ID, to Kootenay Lake, BC. and provide estimate of recruitment and survival. Determine affective means of sampling larval burbot and white sturgeon. Determine the 

contribution of mainstem rainbow, Westslope cutthroat, and bull trout spawners to the Idaho reach of the Kootenai River downstream of the Montana border. Enhance 

spawning habitat in the mainstem Kootenai R. and/or tributaries and evaluate. Large scale sampling, within two refernence reaches, to determine the pre-fertilization and postfertilization status of the fish community, trophic structure, densities, standing stocks, and the population dynamics of salmonids.
