Summer Subyearling Survival standards. Current

evaluations are scheduled for 2020, 2021 & 2022.

Completed

Reduced No-Net-Impact Fund contributions for subyearling summer

Chinook by $105,857.94 annually through the use of existing data.

Based on a revaluation of the estimated NNI liability a $2.7M NPV

over the life of the agreement/license term will be realized.

In Progress

Statement of Agreement presented to PRCC to defer survival and

behavior evaluations. Deferment is based on life history and

technology challenges.

Utes Ladies Tresses discovered on Grant

PUD Property Near Wanapum Switch Yard (in

2017).

Issue: Utes Ladies Tresses is a perennial orchid

listed as threatened under the Endangered Species

Act.

Activities Completed and/or In Progress

8/14/19).

Biological control implemented in 2019.

Mapping population.

Next Steps

Include into Grant PUD’s 5-year Rare, Threatened, and

Endangered Plant Monitoring Program (Article 413).

2019 Business Activities

Avian Predation in the Columbia River Plateau.

Issue: Avian predators (Caspian Terns) have a substantial

impact on juvenile steelhead migration through the Priest

Rapids Project.

Implement strategy for ensuring that avian predation outside

the project area is being addressed by federal entities prior to

2025-2027.

FW Staff worked with USBOR to preclude terns from nesting on

Goose Island in Potholes Reservoir (dissuasion & plantings).

Secured NNI Funds (in 2019) to continue regional M&E activities.

Ensure that avian predation requirements and funding are

included in the Biological Opinion for the Federal System (NW

River Partners, NWPC, BPA, PRCC, etc.).

Work to secure Caspian tern take permit via the USFWS.
