| Proposal Name: |
Kettle River Tributaries Riparian Habitat Improvement Project |
| Agency, Institution or Organization: |
Ferry Conservation District |
| Short Description: |
Working in cooperation with the Colville National Forest, we will install off-stream water sources for livestock grazing on National Forest land in the northeast corner of Ferry County. This will improve water quality, and enhance upland game range. |
| Information Transfer: |
The IMP Subbasin Plan for the Upper Columbia notes excessive sedimentation and subsequent low dissolved oxygen levels as detrimental to native redband trout populations. By inducing range cattle to stay out of riparian areas, we will determine how much we can reduce sedimentation from stock traffic. We will assess water quality before and after project installations, and we will share the information with any agency that strives to balance fish habitat needs with other forest uses. |

| Future Operations & Maintenance Costs |
| Working with a start date in FY 2007, project will be completed, with one year of post-project monitoring, by 09/30/09. By this date, we will know the benefit to cost ratio for other riparian rehabilitation projects within the subbasin. |
| |
| Termination Date |
Comments |
| 09/30/09 |
The timetable we are using takes into account previous resource inventory work done by the Colville National Forest Fisheries Management Team. CNF will have NEPA documents for the treatment area in time to allow us to start work in FY 2007. Also, we will be ready to take on more work in FY 2010. |
| |
| Final Deliverables |
| 3.5 miles of riparian fence installed.
5 offsteam alternative water sources installed.
1.7 acres of streambank stabilized.
12.8 acres of riparian habitat restored.
6 presentations made in schools in the project area.
4 presentations made to general public. |
