Salmon Corp projects keep numerous crews busy- by Carol Craig (This article submitted by the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission) Late last fall a kick-off celebration for the Salmon Corps, a 1.6 million partnership between federal, state and tribal organizations, and a division of the AmeriCorps Program was held at the Wanaket Wildlife Refuge located near Umatilla, OR and the Columbia River. Five tribes, Umatilla, Nez Perce, Yakama, Warm Springs and Shoshone-Bannock have enlisted the help 72 young adults from the tribes to work for a one-year period on fisheries and wildlife projects on their home reservation. The celebration was held at the Refuge which is also the training site for the young adults. Once their training is complete, the young adults will be assigned to a specific areas on each of the reservations. Corp crews will do restoration work in these area: Nez Perce Projects Two-ten person crews will work on 1 1 projects including: 1) watershed restoration on roadbed and logged areas in the Upper Lochsa tributary to complement the nearly undamaged ecosystem conditions within the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness portion of the Middle Clearwater Basin. 2) Fencing and replanting in the McComas Meadows area of the South Fork Clearwater Basin. (Important project for the Nez Perce, not only for its spawning habitat, but includes a mountain sacred to the tribe.) 3) Restore the Mission Creek Limestone quarry by cleaning out the creekbed, rebuilding pools and replanting streambank vegetation. 4) Lolo Creek, damaged by mining and logging will be restored. 5) Lawyers Creek suffers from high water temperatures creating major problems for fish. Trees will be planted along stream to provide shade needed by spawning salmon. 6) Fish passage improvements for Slade Creek along with east side of the South Fork. 7) Streambank restoration for Secesh Creek where more shade trees are needed. Trees will be planted near the 'indicator species streams.' Additional areas include the Snake River Rehabilitation Projects; Potlatch Creek Salmon Predator Reduction; Powell's District Restoration; and Sweetwater Spring Hatchery where they will work on pipeline repair, erosion control and habitat improvement. Yakama Nation has six projects The Yakama Nation will also have two 1 -person teams working on six projects including: 1) Netting and hook-and-line fishing will reduce predator numbers and increase salmon survival. Populations of bigmouth minnow (squawfish) and other salmon predators are increasing in the lower and middle Yakama rivers raising the numbers of extensive mortality to young salmon. 2) Data collection for stream temperatures and sedimentation on 25 streams on and off the Yakama Reservation will be done. That information will assist the state and tribal TimberFishWildlife Program in improving the condition of streams for salmon production. 3) In the Klickitat River watershed crews will fence off the stream from cattle grazing and replant native vegetation to restore this important salmon spawning river. 4) Satus Creek has one of the best remaining wild steelhead runs left in the basin, but the numbers are dropping quickly. Crews will fence off the stream to prevent further damage from grazing and replant alder and native plants. 5) For the Forest Zone Fish and Wildlife Enhancement project, crews will fence off existing springs now being damaged by grazing. They will develop new springs and watering devices for wildlife and revitalize aspen and oak forests and rehabilitate streambeds. 6) The Range Zone Fish and Wildlife Enhancement project will also fence off existing springs, develop new watering devices for wildlife and construct range enclosures for research. Warm Springs Crews have three projects The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon will have a 10-person crew working on three projects: 1) They will fence off sections of the Deschutes and Warm Springs Rivers including sections of the Beaver and Mill Creeks to prevent further stream damage from cattle. 2) The crew will monitor and collect research data in the tribe's ceded area along the Deschutes and John Day rivers and Fifteen-Mile creek. 3) Rehabilitation of tribal campgrounds, day-use facilities and trails will also be worked on. Umatilla has six projects Two crews of 10-people will work on six projects for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation: 1 ) The Wildhorse Creek Watershed Restoration project will have the crew fencing off and replanting a stretch of Wildhorse Creek owned by a rancher who has agreed to cooperate with the tribe to repair the damaged shorelines, replant trees along the stream and return salmon to this now-muddy, but former salmon-spawning area. 2) Salmon no longer come up this Subscribe to Spilyay Tymoo Send subscription to: Spilyay Tymoo, P.O.

Work on this watershed includes fencing off the riparian zone to keep cattle out, cabling trees into the creek to rebuild pools, adding structure to aid fish survival, and replanting willows and cottonwoods along the stream. 3) Corps crews will enable the tribe to complete the two additional miles needed toreach tribal lands on one end of the completed section, as well as begin work in the other direction. 4) In the South Reservation Restoration project, crews will complete reforestation efforts. Crews will also develop springs to provide water for wildlife and lure cattle away from streams in the Spring Development project. 5) Monitoring projects will measure water temperatures and collect data to help determine the success of the projects and improve future work. 6) Erosion from cut roads has hurt salmon runs throughout the Columbia Basin. Several Road Removal projects will control erosion and return roads to a more natural state in the areas of the Walla Walla, Grand Ronde and Umatilla watersheds. Sho-Bans have two crews Three projects will be completed for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe using two 10-person crews: 1) In the Ross Creek Restoration project, crews will replant vegetation along bank areas, develop buffer strips in dry farming areas by planting chokecherry, willow, buckbrush and aspen as well as fencing those areas to protect streams. 2) The crew will also rebuild the irrigation ditch flume to keep water in the creek and restore the fishery. 3) They will also be busy pulling trash out of Clear Creek and restoring the creek below Harrison Baker and Calico Crossing and installing fences for riparian protection. 4) Fish will also be restored to the Twitchcll Meadows with the help of hatch boxes and by re vegetating riparian area.
