Sample Design: CTWS Reservation Project-Specific Habitat Response Monitoring
  • Version History: v1.0 Finalized (11/18/2025)
Basics

The details of this Sample Design, including all the parameters used to generate it, are included below. Sample designs must belong to a Study Plan.

Description

This Sample Design is set up to accompany the Study Plan "CTWS Reservation Project-Specifc Effectiveness Monitoring" under the Protocol of "Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs On-Reservation Project-Specific Habitat Response Monitoring". Monitoring within this study design will be performed on project sites that have been volitionally selected by CTWS Fisheries Department personnel due to a combination of potential to maximize biological and ecological benefits and ease of access. Accordingly, this Sample Design is an 'Opportunistic Design' with an 'Ease of Access' spatial design category. Each habitat restoration project will have a monitoring plan tailored to its specific goals and objectives. Each monitoring plan will outline the techniques and methods to be used at each site, the purpose for collected data, the management questions or goals/objectives that data will be used to address, and how the data will be analyzed.

Plan Description

Headworks Dam Removal: Design and environmental compliance reviews for this barrier removal were completed in 2025. Pre-removal Pacific Lamprey ammocoete density data was also collected in 2025. Dam removal is slated to occur during the in-water work period in 2026. Post-removal Pacific Lamprey ammocoete density data will be collected in 2026, 2027, and 2028. 

Bennett's Reach Stage-0 Valley Reset: Design, environmental compliance reviews, equipment and materials acquisition, and internal Tribal reviews for this project are ongoing and slated to progress throughout 2026 and 2027. Pre-treatment physical and biotic data will be collected in the Bennett's reach and a designated control reach throughout 2026 and 2027. Project implementation is set to begin during the in-water work period in 2027 and will continue in 2028. 

Coyote Creek Beaver Dam Analog Construction: Design, environmental compliance reviews, equipment and materials acquisition, and internal Tribal reviews for this project are in early stages and slated to progress throughout 2026. Coyote Creek is a non-fish-bearing stream that contributes warm water and fine sediment into Beaver Creek and the Warm Springs River, two high-priority waterways on the Reservation. Beaver dam analog (BDA) construction in Coyote Creek will seek to slow down water velocities in Coyote Creek during ephemeral, high-flow events. Slower water velocities in Coyote Creek will reduce temperatures of water and quantities of fine sediment received by Beaver Creek and the Warm Springs River. BDA construction is set to begin in the summer of 2026. The planned treatment reach is approximately 15 miles long, and construction will be phased into multiple sections. Pre-treatment and control data collection will begin in early 2026.
