Kootenai River Habitat Restoration Project 2017 Update TMT Year-End Review Jason Flory US Fish & Wildlife Service

What is the Kootenai River Habitat Restoration Program? Multi-year habitat restoration program in Idaho portion of Kootenai River Data collection, analysis and modeling Multiple habitat restoration projects to address reach-specific limiting factors Compliments other efforts to restore fish and wildlife populations and their habitats

Major Types of Treatments Implemented 2011-2016 Pool forming structures & pool creation or enhancement to encourage Kootenai sturgeon to migrate to upstream habitat & to provide holding habitat for sturgeon, burbot & other native fish In river & bank structures to create more diverse & complex habitats for sturgeon & other native fish

Major Types of Treatments Implemented 2011-2016 Side channel reconnection & floodplain creation or enhancement to enhance the food web & provide habitat for juvenile Kootenai sturgeon & other native fish Riparian enhancement (& riparian buffer fencing) to enhance the food web & provide cover for native fish

2011 through 2018 10 projects on the ground

Thanks! Kootenai Tribe of Idaho thanks the TMT for reviewing and approving the 2017 SOR that lowered Kootenai River flows for the Lower Meander Project Another, very similar SOR will be coming in 2018 for Phase 2 of the Lower Meander Project A great big “THANK YOU” to Sue Ireland and the Kootenai Tribe for helping with this presentation
