Implement the Grande Ronde Model Watershed Program Administration and Habitat Restoration Projects Project Lyle Kuchenbecker, Project Planner

Grande Ronde Model Watershed Program Selected by the NPPC in 1992 to be the Model Watershed for Oregon Mission: … to develop and oversee the implementation, maintenance and monitoring of coordinated resource management that will enhance the natural resources of the Grande Ronde Basin.

Forest Service Wilderness Area National Recreation Area Bureau Of Land Mgmt Indian Reservations State Lands Private, Other Grande Ronde Basin Wallowa Subbasin Lower Grande Ronde Subbasin Imnaha Subbasin Upper Grande Ronde Subbasin

Grande Ronde Model Watershed Program Goals Protect and restore riparian and upland habitats. –Direct BPA F&W Mitigation Funds toward high priority restoration work. –Coordinate basin-wide restoration activities and programs. –Increase landowner involvement Conduct project effectiveness and basin-wide water quality monitoring. Conduct educational outreach to increase public awareness and involvement. Protect the customs, culture and economic stability of the citizens of the Basin and the Nez Perce Tribe and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.

Grande Ronde Subbasin Assessments Grande Ronde Model Watershed Program Operations – Action Plan 1994 Stream and Riparian Conditions in the Grande Ronde Basin – Clearwater Biostudies 1993 Lower Grande Ronde Subbasin Review – BLM and USFS 1998 Historical Changes in Anadromous Fish Habitat in the Upper Grande Ronde River, McIntosh 1992 Application of the Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment Method to the Grande Ronde Model Watershed Program – Final Report Upper Grande Ronde River Sub-Basin Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) 2000 Biological Assessment for Bull Trout, Summer Steelhead, Spring/Summer Chinook Salmon, Upper Grande Ronde Assessment Area, USFS, BLM 1999 Lower Grande Ronde Subbasin Multi- Species Biological Assessment USFS Grande Ronde Cooperative River Basin Study, Union County, Oregon NRCS 1997 Wallowa County – Nez Perce Tribe Salmon Recovery Plan, 1993 & 1999 USFS Watershed (Ecosystem Analysis) Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board Watershed Assessments Stream Surveys ODFW, USFS

Limiting Factors - Habitat Stream and Riparian Conditions in the Grande Ronde Basin – Clearwater Biostudies Application of the Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment Method to the Grande Ronde Model Watershed Program Water Quality Limited Streams, DEQ 303(d) List –Riparian habitat degradation –Sedimentation –Low late season stream flows –Elevated summer water temperatures –Reduced in-stream habitat complexity –Loss of wetlands and riparian function –Passage barriers

Results Habitat Restoration Projects (GRMWP , 269 projects) Developed a network of Restoration Partners Established project implementation and effectiveness monitoring program Implemented a basin-wide water quality monitoring program Maintained a basin-wide restoration project database Increased landowner awareness and involvement in watershed restoration
