THIS AWARD WILL PROVIDE FUNDING TO THE STATE OF OREGON FOR PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT PROJECTS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN AND PROTECT HEALTHY SALMON POPULATIONS, MONITOR COMMERCIAL AND SPORT FISHERIES, INVESTIGATE AND TAKE ACTION ON THE THREATS TO PACIFIC SALMON. THE PURPOSE OF THIS FINANCIAL AWARD IS TO INVEST IN THE HEALTH OF PACIFIC SALMON BY ADDRESSING THREATS TO INLAND, COASTAL, AND MARINE WATERS. HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE POPULATIONS OF PACIFIC SALMON ARE KEY TO THE U.S. COMMERCIAL FISHERIES AND TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE DOMESTIC SEAFOOD SUPPLY CHAIN. IF THIS ACTION IS NOT APPROVED, THREATS TO PACIFIC SALMON WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE, THERE WILL BE A REDUCTION IN FISHERIES-RELATED JOBS, A REDUCTION IN ACCURATE DATA AVAILABLE TO FISHERIES MANAGERS ON WHICH TO MAKE DECISIONS, REDUCED FISHING OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE OF OREGON, AND AN ECONOMIC LOSS TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THIS FINANCIAL AWARD WILL GO TOWARDS SUPPORTING THE U.S. SEAFOOD INDUSTRY, FISHERIES JOBS, AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES BY ADDRESSING THREATS TO PACIFIC SALMON, MODERNIZING DATA COLLECTION, AND ACHIEVING EFFICIENCIES THROUGH THE STATE OF OREGONS FISHERIES PROGRAMS. THIS SUPPORT WILL EMPOWER THE STATE OF OREGON TO EFFECTIVELY OWN, MANAGE, AND PRIORITIZE FISHERY MANAGEMENT THAT MAKE AMERICAS INFRASTRUCTURE, COMMUNITIES, AND ECONOMY RESILIENT TO GLOBAL THREATS.

EFFORTS FOCUS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RECOVERY PLANS THROUGH INVESTMENT IN AND SUPPORT OF HIGH-PRIORITY ACTIONS ADDRESSING KEY LIMITING FACTORS TO SALMON AND STEELHEAD PRODUCTION AND HABITAT, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON RIPARIAN RESTORATION AND PROJECTS THAT RESULT IN LASTING IMPROVEMENTS TO ECOLOGICAL FUNCTION AND PROCESS; II) INVEST IN AND MANAGE GRANTS FOR LARGE-SCALE RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION STRATEGIES THAT ADDRESS MULTIPLE SALMONID LIMITING FACTORS INCLUDING CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS TO VULNERABLE SALMON AND STEELHEAD SPECIES THROUGH COORDINATED INVESTMENTS; AND III) CONDUCT CRITICAL MONITORING OF SALMON AND STEELHEAD POPULATIONS AND THEIR HABITATS AND LARGE-SCALE EFFECTIVENESS MONITORING, SUPPORT TRACKING AND REPORTING OF ECOLOGICAL OUTCOMES ASSOCIATED WITH COORDINATED INVESTMENTS IN SALMON RECOVERY, AND ENABLE STRATEGIC ACTION PLANNING THAT ENSURES PRIORITIZATION AND ULTIMATE IMPLEMENTATION OF HIGH-IMPACT RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION PROJECTS BENEFITTING SALMON AND STEELHEAD

THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS PARTNERSHIP WOULD BE TO WORK TOGETHER TO BETTER FACILITATE AQUATIC MANAGEMENT PROJECTS WITH PARTNERS, IN AREAS OF MUTUAL INTEREST. THE FOCUS OF THE WORK WOULD BE VARIED, AND WOULD INCLUDE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF INSTREAM RESTORATION PROJECTS THAT INCREASE HABITAT COMPLEXITY AND RESILIENCY, AS WELL AS THE REMOVAL OF BARRIERS TO FISH AND OTHER AQUATIC ORGANISM PASSAGE. INVENTORY, ASSESSMENT AND MONITORING ARE KEY COMPONENTS THAT INFORM AQUATIC RESTORATION. DATA COLLECTED FROM MONITORING AND ASSESSMENTS PROVIDE INFORMATION ON BASELINE ECOLOGICAL CONDITION, ARE USED TO DESIGN RESTORATION PROJECTS AND DETERMINE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROJECTS. ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC AND STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS PROMOTES KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED TO ADDRESS COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND ENSURES THE PUBLIC IS INFORMED ABOUT CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES.

DEVELOPMENT OF A FRAMEWORK FOR AN OREGON WETLAND MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT PROGRAM.

LINT SLOUGH ESTUARY RESTORATION: PHASE II AND III

SIMPLE BREATH TEST FOR AMMONIA FOR MONITORING BLOOD AMMONIA LEVELS FOR UCD PATIENTS - PROJECT SUMMARY THIS PROJECT PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY TO PROVIDE A QUICK, LOW-COST, NON-INVASIVE METHOD FOR MONITORING THE CONCENTRATION OF AMMONIA IN THE BLOODSTREAM FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH A UREA CYCLE DISORDER (UCD) BY A SIMPLE EXHALED BREATH TEST FOR AMMONIA. A UCD IS A RARE INHERITED METABOLIC DISORDER THAT IS CAUSED BY A GENETIC DEFECT IN THE UREA CYCLE THAT OCCURS IN THE LIVER THAT NORMALLY CONVERTS AMMONIA THAT IS GENERATED BY PROTEIN METABOLISM INTO UREA, WHICH IS THEN CLEARED BY THE KIDNEYS. IF UNTREATED, A UCD CAN CAUSE THE BUILDUP OF AMMONIA IN THE BLOOD STREAM TO LIFE-THREATENING NEUROTOXIC LEVELS. PERSONS WITH A UCD STRIVE TO MAINTAIN THEIR BLOOD AMMONIA LEVELS WITHIN A NORMAL RANGE BY A LOW-PROTEIN DIET AND MEDICATIONS. DESPITE THESE EFFORTS, CONDITIONS SUCH AS ILLNESS, STRESS, TRAUMA, OR SIMPLY CHANGE IN DIET CAN RESULT IN ELEVATED AMMONIA LEVELS (HYPERAMMONEMIA) WITH THE NEED TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM TO INITIATE IV TREATMENT ALONG WITH BLOOD TESTS TO ASSESS AMMONIA LEVELS. UNFORTUNATELY, SYMPTOMS OF ELEVATED BLOOD AMMONIA CAN BE NON-SPECIFIC AND SIMILAR TO NON-HYPERAMMONEMIC CONDITIONS, SUCH AS THE FLU (E.G., NAUSEA, VOMITING, HEADACHE, FATIGUE). HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE IF HIGH AMMONIA LEVELS ARE ACTUALLY OCCURRING, PATIENTS ARE RECOMMENDED TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR TREATMENT AND EVALUATION WHENEVER LIKELY SYMPTOMS OCCUR. THIS SITUATION LEADS TO UNNECESSARY TRIPS TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHEN HYPERAMMONEMIA IS NOT ACTUALLY CAUSING THE ILLNESS AND THE ASSOCIATED COSTS. A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE THE AVAILABILITY OF A POINT-OF- CARE TEST METHOD FOR ASSESSING BLOOD AMMONIA LEVEL THAT PERSONS WITH A UCD AND/OR MEDICAL STAFF COULD USE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT A HYPERAMMONEMIC CONDITION WAS ACTUALLY OCCURRING. THE SPECIFIC NEED FOR THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE 2018 FDA/NIH REPORT ENTITLED “UNMET MEDICAL DEVICE NEEDS FOR PATIENTS WITH RARE DISEASES.” AT THIS TIME, HOWEVER, NO SUCH TEST METHOD EXISTS. TO MEET THIS NEED, WE ARE DEVELOPING A SIMPLE EXHALED BREATH TEST FOR AMMONIA FOR ASSESSING BLOOD AMMONIA LEVEL. PRELIMINARY CLINICAL STUDIES CONDUCTED WITH TWO UCD PATIENTS AS PROOF-OF-PRINCIPLE OF THIS TEST HAVE SHOWN HIGH CORRELATION WITH BLOOD AMMONIA LEVEL AND THE ABILITY TO INDICATE WHETHER OR NOT A CONDITION OF ELEVATED BLOOD AMMONIA WAS OCCURRING. THE OVERALL OBJECTIVES OF THIS PHASE-I PROJECT ARE TO FURTHER DEVELOP AND OPTIMIZE THIS TEST SYSTEM SPECIFICALLY FOR THE UCD PATIENT COMMUNITY IN PREPARATION FOR SUBSEQUENT LARGE-SCALE CLINICAL STUDIES IN A FOLLOW-UP PHASE-II PROGRAM. SPECIFIC AIM 1 IS TO REFINE THE SENSITIVITY RANGE OF THE AMMONIA SENSOR DISCS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE UCD APPLICATION AND TO ASSESS THE POTENTIAL INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY, AND POSSIBLE INTERFERING SUBSTANCES ON THEIR COLORIMETRIC RESPONSE. SPECIFIC AIM 2 IS TO DESIGN AND PRODUCE A DEDICATED SENSOR-READING INSTRUMENT TO AUTOMATE THE TEST SYSTEM AND PROVIDE A QUANTITATIVE DIGITAL READOUT OF BREATH AMMONIA CONCENTRATION IN PARTS-PER-BILLION IN PREPARATION FOR LARGE-SCALE CLINICAL EVALUATION. THIS TECHNOLOGY ALSO HAS POTENTIAL FOR EXTENSION FOR KIDNEY AND LIVER DISEASE AND H. PYLORI INFECTION APPLICATIONS.

EMPOWERING ACTION

THE CARPENTER CREEK PROJECT WILL OPEN UP 8.67 MILES OF HIGH-QUALITY HABITAT FOR SALMONIDS BY REPLACING THE FINAL SIX BARRIER CULVERTS ON THIS STREAM SYSTEM, LOCATED IN THE SKAGIT WATERSHED. THESE CULVERT PROJECTS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY THROUGH A 10 YEAR COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN THE SKAGIT FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT GROUP, LOCAL TRIBAL ENTITIES (UPPER SKAGIT INDIAN TRIBE, SAUK-SUIATTLE AND SWINOMISH TRIBES), AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS (SKAGIT, AND SNOHOMISH). FUNDS REQUESTED IN THIS PROPOSAL WILL ENABLE ALL SIX NEW STREAM CROSSINGS TO BE DESIGNED AND FOUR OF THEM TO BE IMPLEMENTED.

MINNOW CREEK FISH PASSAGE

CORONAVIRUS AID,RELIEF, AND ECONOMIC SECURITY (CARES) ACT

THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL REPLACE A DIVERSION DAM THAT ACTS AS A BARRIER TO FISH MOVEMENT WITH A PASSABLE ROUGHENED CHANNEL, IMPROVING FISH PASSAGE, RETURNING ECOLOGICAL FUNCTION, AND REDUCING MAINTENANCE BURDENS FOR A PRIVATE IRRIGATOR. REMOVAL OF THIS BARRIER WILL IMPROVE FISH PASSAGE TO 4.8 MILES OF HABITAT IN THE LIBBY CREEK WATERSHED, A TRIBUTARY TO THE METHOW RIVER IN NORTH-CENTRAL WASHINGTON. LIBBY CREEK PROVIDES IMPORTANT HABITAT FOR ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT-LISTED STEELHEAD, SPRING CHINOOK, AND BULL TROUT, AS WELL AS RAINBOW TROUT AND COHO SALMON. IMPROVED FISH PASSAGE DURING THE IRRIGATION SEASON, WHICH OVERLAPS BOTH WITH THE CRITICAL SPAWNING PERIOD AS WELL AS THE PERIODS OF LOWEST FLOW, WILL ENSURE THAT FISH CAN UTILIZE WHAT WILL BE INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT COLD-WATER RESOURCES HIGHER IN THE LIBBY CREEK WATERSHED. THE CURRENT 45-FOOT ROCK DAM THAT IMPEDES FISH PASSAGE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A 120-FOOT ROUGHENED CHANNEL, WHICH WILL PROVIDE FISH PASSAGE AT ALL FLOWS, BENEFITTING NATIVE FISH THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE EXISTING, OUTDATED INTAKE STRUCTURE AND GRAVITY ROTARY FISH SCREEN WILL BE REPLACED WITH A PRECAST INTAKE STRUCTURE, HEADGATE, AND FISH SCREEN WHICH WILL REDUCE JUVENILE FISH MORTALITY. THE EXISTING DIVERSION SYSTEM REQUIRES DAILY MAINTENANCE OF THE FISH SCREEN AND FREQUENT MAINTENANCE MODIFICATION OF THE INLET PIPES BY THE PRIVATE LANDOWNERS. CHANGES TO THE DIVERSION SYSTEM WILL REDUCE THAT MAINTENANCE BURDEN, PROVIDING A BENEFIT FOR THE IRRIGATOR, WHO IS VOLUNTARILY COLLABORATING ON THIS PROJECT. THIS PROJECT WILL BENEFIT BOTH THE AQUATIC ECOSYSTEM AND IMPROVE PRIVATE IRRIGATION INFRASTRUCTURE IN A VERY RURAL REGION.

DIVING CATCH: SAVING WHITE ABALONE THROUGH CONSERVATION AQUACULTURE

PESHASTIN CREEK AND ITS WATERSHED HAVE EXPERIENCED A CENTURY OF RESOURCE EXTRACTION (LOGGING AND MINING) AND THE STREAM HAS BEEN FUNDAMENTALLY ALTERED DUE TO ROAD BUILDING, AGRICULTURE, LAND CLEARING, AND RURAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SHORELINE AND THROUGHOUT THE FLOODPLAIN. WATERSHED AND STREAM PROCESS ARE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE, A CHALLENGE TO RESTORE. DESPITE HABITAT IMPAIRMENTS, PESHASTIN CREEK IS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE STREAM FOR WILD STEELHEAD IN THE WENATCHEE SUBBASIN, AND THIS PROJECT WILL BENEFIT EVERY LIFE STAGE FOR THIS THREATENED SPECIES. THE CASCADE COLUMBIA FISHERIES ENHANCEMENT GROUP (CCFEG) WILL WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH PRIVATE LANDOWNERS TO RESTORE 4.8 ACRES OF NATIVE VEGETATION TO THE FLOODPLAIN OF PESHASTIN CREEK, INCLUDING 2.2 ACRES OF RIPARIAN HABITAT. THIS WILL INCREASE SHADE, DECREASE LOCALIZED STREAM TEMPERATURES, AND PROVIDE LONG-TERM INPUTS OF NUTRIENTS AND WOODY DEBRIS TO PESHASTIN CREEK WHICH IS SEVERELY LACKING THESE ATTRIBUTES DUE TO THE FACTORS AFOREMENTIONED. THIS WORK WILL COMPLEMENT OTHER COMPLETED AND PLANNED PROJECTS IN THE AREA WHICH COLLECTIVELY WILL INCREASE HABITAT QUANTITY AND QUALITY FOR THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SALMONIDS. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT A LARGE SCALE AQUATIC HABITAT RESTORATION PROJECT WITH COOPERATIVE PRIVATE LANDOWNERS.

PUGET SOUND AND NOOKSACK RIVER - SALMON

THE FIR ISLAND CREOSOTE REMOVAL PROJECT WILL REMOVE 17 DERELICT CREOSOTE PILINGS FROM A PRIVATE LANDOWNER?S PROPERTY ON THE TIDAL AREA OF SOUTH FORK OF THE SKAGIT RIVER DELTA AND IMPROVE THE RIPARIAN AREA ADJACENT TO THE CREOSOTE REMOVAL SITE LOCATED ALONG 500-LINEAR-FEET OF THE RIVER. THE PILINGS ARE NO LONGER USED BY THE LANDOWNERS AND ARE LEACHING CHEMICALS INTO THE SALISH SEA. THE PRIMARY COMPONENT OF CREOSOTE, POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAHS), CAN NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE HEALTH OF MARINE LIFE AND HUMANS, AND TOXICITY MAY BE MOBILIZED INTO HIGHER TROPHIC LEVELS VIA THE FOOD CHAIN (HEINTZ 2007). ACCORDING TO WA DNR PUBLICATIONS, CHEMICALS FOUND IN CREOSOTE PILINGS HARM JUVENILE SALMONIDS BY CHANGING PATTERNS OF GROWTH AND METABOLISM, AND FISH THAT ARE EXPOSED TO HIGHER DOSES EXPERIENCE DELAYED MORTALITY SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER EXPOSURE (DNR 2007). PAHS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE EGG HATCHING SUCCESS OF PACIFIC HERRING AND CONTAMINANTS HAVE ALSO BEEN SHOWN TO BIOACCUMULATE IN GREATER CONCENTRATIONS UP THE FOOD CHAIN TO LARGER MARINE LIFE SUCH AS SALMONIDS AND ORCAS (WEST ET AL. 2019).

THOMPSON CREEK IS A TRIBUTARY TO THE SKAGIT RIVER BETWEEN CONCRETE AND ROCKPORT NEAR HIGHWAY SR20. A BARRIER ( 994221) CURRENTLY BLOCKS FISH PASSAGE TO 0.75 MILES OF HABITAT UPSTREAM. THIS SUMMER WSDOT WILL BE CORRECTING A STATE OWNED BARRIER CULVERT LOCATED LESS THAN 500 FEET UPSTREAM. SFEG IS SEEKING FUNDS TO REMOVE THIS PRIVATE BARRIER CULVERT AND REPLACE IT WITH AN ATV LAWN MOWER CROSSING. THIS PROJECT ALSO BUILDS ON A BARRIER REMOVAL DOWNSTREAM ON SAUK STORE ROAD THAT SKAGIT COUNTY COMPLETED IN 2012. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING FISH PASSAGE TO CHINOOK, COHO, CHUM, PINK AND STEELHEAD, REMOVING THE BARRIER CULVERTS ON THOMPSON CREEK AND INSTALLING AN ATV BRIDGE WILL ALSO PERMANENTLY STOP THE CREEK FROM FLOWING OVER THE ROAD AND KEEP FOOT AND ATV TRAFFIC OUT OF THE CREEK. IT WILL ALSO ALLOW LARGE WOODY DEBRIS MOVEMENT FROM THE MATURE RIPARIAN FOREST DOWNSTREAM. THOMPSON CREEK IS CURRENTLY 100 BLOCKED TO FISH ACCESS ACCORDING TO WDFW CRITERIA BY THIS BARRIER AND IS LISTED AS A HABITAT FOR CHINOOK, COHO, CHUM, STEELHEAD, AND PINK SALMON ON WDFW S SALMONSCAPE. THOMPSON CREEK IS WELL FORESTED WITH A HEALTHY, MATURE, RIPARIAN BUFFER CONSISTING OF CONIFERS AND SHRUBS. THE CHANNEL HAS HIGH HABITAT COMPLEXITY AND SINUOSITY WITH ABUNDANT LARGE WOODY DEBRIS AND GRAVEL FOR SPAWNING. THE CURRENT CULVERTS ARE VERY DISRUPTIVE TO NORMAL SEDIMENT, WOOD AND WATER FLOW. IN WINTER WATER IS FREQUENTLY FORCED TO OVERTOP THE ROAD. REPLACING THIS CROSSING WITH A SMALL ATV BRIDGE WOULD RESTORE FISH ACCESS AND NATURAL PROCESSES. THE THOMPSON CREEK PROJECT WAS IDENTIFIED DUE TO WSDOT DOING A BARRIER REMOVAL PROJECT UPSTREAM OF THIS SITE.
