Description

CHaMP is designed as a Columbia River basin-wide habitat status and trends monitoring program built around a single protocol with a programmatic approach to data collection and management (RM&E Workgroup 2010). CHaMP will result in the collection and analysis of systematic habitat status and trends information that will be used to assess basin-wide habitat conditions. When coupled with biological response indicators, this status and trends information will be used to evaluate habitat management strategies. This program will be integrated with ongoing Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Program (PNAMP) recovery planning efforts and will be part of the collaborative process across Columbia Basin fish management agencies and tribes and other state and federal agencies that are monitoring anadromous salmonids and/or their habitat. The implementation of CHaMP will characterize stream responses to watershed restoration and/or management actions in at least one population within each steelhead and spring Chinook Major Population Group (MPG) which have, or will have, “fish-in” and “fish-out” monitoring (identified in RPA 50.6), thereby meeting the requirements of RPA 56.3, RPA 57, and RPA 3. CHaMP was designed to deliver trends in habitat indicators and requires that monitoring occurs for three cycles of a sampling panel (see section 1.6), at least 9 years.

John Day’s ChaMP design integrated several projects.  The overarching design covered 5 TRT populations (Steelhead) defined by each of the major basins making up the John Day (Lower John Day, South Fork, Middle Fork, North Fork, and upper mainstem). ODFW has conducted GRTS based habitat surveys for several years, providing an extensive list of legacy sites.   Two special studies were embedded within the overarching design.  An ISEMP Intensively Monitored Watershed (IMW) project, initiated in 2005, was set up to evaluate potential stream restoration by stimulating repopulation of beaver communities in Bridge Creek (Lower John Day, OR) with Murderer’s Creek (South Fork John Day) as a watershed-scale reference.  The ISEMP project designed a ‘staircase’ framework to evaluate the range of restoration projects to be implemented over time, with a set of reference sites on the mainstem of Murderer’s Creek.  A second project, initiated in parallel with CHaMP status and trend and the Bridge Creek IMW, intended to examine spatially intensive sampling (ISW = intensively sampled watersheds).  This study selected sites in several small watersheds (Strahler Order 3) across the John Day Basin.

2011 Design Notes:

Stratification:

The Greater John Day and Greater South Fork John Day designs were stratified by Valley Class (Source, Transport, Depositional) and Ownership (Public/Private).  

The Intensively Surveyed Watersheds were stratified by the Watershed Name (e.g. Rancheria Creek) and gradient classes that were used in a geomorphic classification by Tim Beechie et al. (2013) for large streams >8m.  Gradient classes were <1, 1-3, and >3. 

Murderers Creek was stratified into mainstem and non-mainstem area as defined by NHDPlus' GNIS Name =Murderers Creek as the 'mainstem' area.  This stratification is not listed in the Category Name used on cm.org, but was used during the initial GRTS design process.
