Publication Name Brown's Canyon Pump
Storage Project, Fish and Wildlife Study
ID # 123
Authors Overly, Robert
Publication Date July 1975
Produced By Douglas County PUD - East
Wenatchee, WA
Summary A preliminary fish and
wildlife study was conducted from 1 December 1974 to 30 January 1975 to
complete
the requirements agreed
upon by Douglas County P.U.D. and the Washington State Department of Game
pursuant to Article 9 of
the Federal Power Act, Contract No. 2723.
The objectives of this
preliminary study were: to map the
vegetation types and to compile a species list of
flora; to compose
checklists for mammals, birds, and fish; to develop a sampling technique for
future use in
gathering wi8ldlife and
fish data; and to tentatively locate sampling transects for any future
studies. The
above objectives were
accomplished using information gained through field observation and existing
records.
Vegetation Inventory

Name A Botanical Inventory and Rare and Sensitive
Plant Survey of the Rocky Reach Reservoir
ID # 63
Authors Caplow, Florence E.
Publication Date 1990
Produced By Florence E. Caplow
Summary Chelan PUD contracted a
qualified botanist to conduct a plant inventory of all vegetation within the
inundation zone. The survey identified the plant species
which will be inundated by the three foot pool rise.
During the survey, the
botanist emphasized searches for rare or sensitive plant species which could
occur
along the reservoir.

Chelan County to:
"…file the results
of a survey of all areas proposed to be disturbed by recreational development
or by project
operation and maintenance to determine the
location of any rare and sensitive plant species…." This
report is the result of
that survey.

Publication Name Monitoring the Vegetation
Resources in Riparian Areas
ID # 623
Authors Alma H. Winward
Publication Date April 2000
Produced By U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service - Rocky Mountain Research Station
Summary This document provides
information on three sampling methods used to inventory and monitor the
vegetation resources in
riparian areas. The vegetation cross-section method evaluates the health of
vegetation across the
valley floor. The greenline method provides a measurement of the streamside
vegetation. The woody
species regeneration method measures the density and age class structure of any
shrub or tree species
that may be present in the sampling area. Together these three sampling
procedures
can provide an evaluation of the health of
all the vegetation in a given riparian area.

Summary Pursuant to application
for Amendment No. 17 to License for Rock Island Project, Columbia River, F.P.C.
Project No. 943, wildlife
studies are being conducted to monitor the effects of an expected increased of
6.1
feet in pool elevation at
Rock Island Dam. This portion of the
wildlife study was designed to document
quantitatively the
existing vegetation, using techniques which would give reliable values. This data will
later be compared to
measured values taken at the same sites, by the same techniques, after the
project is
completed. This study also was designed to make
determinations of the number of acres of each of ten
vegetation types to be
inundated.

fungi, lichens,
bryophytes, vascular plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates of the interior
Columbia River
basin and adjacent areas.
Rare plants include many endemics associated with local conditions. Potential
plant and invertebrate
bioindicators are identified. Species ecological functions differ among
communities
and variously affect
ecosystem diversity and productivity. Species of alpine and subalpine
communities are
identified that may be at
risk from climate change. Maps of
terrestrial ecological integrity are presented.
