Protect and Restore Little Salmon River
Project # 28050
Nez Perce Tribe
Fisheries/Watershed Program
By Chad Fealko
ESA Affected Species
Spring/Summer Chinook
Steelhead
Bull Trout
Sensitive species: Pacific lamprey, redband rainbow and westslope cutthroat trout.
Little Salmon River Basin
Little Salmon RiverLimiting Factors
Migration problems/blockages*
Riparian Alteration* Channel Alteration* Streamflow
Alteration* Water Temperatures* Other water quality
problems*
Bold and underlined entries indicate an elevated impact of that limiting factor.
Streambed sedimentation*
Reduced habitat complexity*
Wetland destruction*
Ecological interactions with exotics*
Toxics/Contamination*
Fisheries/Aquatic Needs
Protect, create, restore and reconnect riparian and floodplain areas
Reduce stream temperature. sediment and embeddedness…
Restore & augment streamflows
Reduce impacts from agricultural sediment and road runoff
Educate the public on natural resource restoration issues
Phase 1:
Circle C Ranch
Riparian Protection and
Restoration
Phase 2:
Completion of Watershed Assessment Identification of restoration action listImplement restoration action list
BenefitsImproved Water Quality– Reduced Stream Temperature– Reduced Sediment Inputs
Improved Riparian Health and Function
Increase Habitat Utilization– Increase Potential Rearing Habitat– Improve Available Spawning Habitat– Elevate Habitat Complexity
Improved PassageIncreased Stream Flow
