"The CTUIR Grande Ronde Subbasin Restoration Project, initiated by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in 1996, is an ongoing effort to protect, enhance, and restore riparian and instream habitat for natural production of anadromous salmonids in the Grande Ronde River Subbasin. Project activities focus on improving juvenile rearing habitat with emphasis on restoring natural channel morphology and floodplain function, cold water refuge, complex aquatic habitat. During 2002-2003, the CTUIR, in cooperation with multiple partners, completed the McCoy Meadows Restoration Project, Longley Meadows Restoration Project, and the Mainstem Grande Ronde River Habitat Enhancement Project. Project activities included development of project designs, completion of environmental compliance and regulatory permitting requirements, procurement of construction services and materials, pre-construction preparations (survey and staking), project construction, and bioengineering/revegetation. Baseline and ongoing monitoring and evaluation activities were also completed during the reporting period on major project areas. Activities included collection and evaluation of water temperature data, groundwater data, vegetation plots and transects, channel cross sections and longitudinal profiles, and photo points. Ongoing project maintenance, including fence repair, vegetation management, and monitoring for trespass livestock, was accomplished."--From abstract.
