Abstract:

The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is required to protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife to the extent affected by the development and operation of any hydroelectric project in a manner consistent with the Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s (NPCC) Fish and Wildlife Program. Construction of the Albeni Fall Dam resulted in the loss of 6,617 acres of wetland habitat and the inundation of 8,900 acres of deep-water marsh. Estimated wildlife losses were 28,587 habitat units (HUs) for a variety of target species (Martin et al., 1988). The Albeni Falls Wildlife Mitigation Project was developed to protect, restore, enhance, and maintain the long-term quality of wetland and riparian habitat in northern Idaho and eastern Washington as ongoing mitigation. This report provides the vegetative monitoring and evaluation results for wildlife mitigation properties in northern Idaho, all part of Pend Oreille Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Monitoring was conducted from May 21 to August 29, 2007.
