AWARD PURPOSE: THUS, WE PROPOSE A TWO-YEAR PROJECT TO DEVELOP WATER-MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND ASSESS POTENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AT BOTH DAMS TO INCREASE PRECISION OF WATER DELIVERIES FROM ISLAND PARK DAM, THROUGH ASHTON RESERVOIR, TO POINTS OF DIVERSION AND THE TARGET REACH DOWNSTREAM. TO THIS END, WE WILL: 1) DEVELOP WATER-MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO MINIMIZE EFFECT OF TRAVEL TIME AND INTERVENING HYDROPOWER OPERATIONS BETWEEN ISLAND PARK RESERVOIR AND IRRIGATION DIVERSION POINTS, 2) UPDATE THE HENRYS FORK DROUGHT MANAGEMENT PLAN, A COLLABORATIVE DOCUMENT INITIALLY WRITTEN IN 2005 AND LAST UPDATED IN 2018, AND 3) ASSESS THE POTENTIAL FOR INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES TO FACILITATE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE STRATEGIES. WE REQUEST $189,653 IN FEDERAL FUNDS, MATCHED BY $66,528 FROM THE APPLICANT AND $16,120 IN THIRD-PARTY CONTRIBUTIONS. FEDERAL FUNDS WILL PAY CONTRACTORS TO ASSESS FEASIBILITY AND OF POTENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, AS WELL AS INDIRECT COSTS. THE APPLICANT WILL CONTRIBUTE STAFF TIME AND HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE TO SUPPORT NEW STREAM GAGING. IN-KIND CONTRIBUTION CONSISTS OF STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION IN STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT AND DROUGHT MANAGEMENT PLAN REVISION. SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED FOR UPGRADES IS LOCATED ON A FEDERAL FACILITY.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: WE PROPOSE A TWO-YEAR TASK A: WATER STRATEGY GRANT TO DEVELOP WATER-MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND ASSESS POTENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AT ISLAND PARK AND ASHTON DAMS TO INCREASE PRECISION IN STORING WATER IN IPR FROM OCTOBER THROUGH MAY, RELEASING WATER FROM ISLAND PARKDAM DURING IRRIGATION SEASON AND PASSING THAT WATER EFFICIENTLY THROUGH ASHTON RESERVOIR TO DIVERSION STRUCTURES AND A STREAMFLOW TARGET POINT. WE PROPOSE TO I) DEVELOP WATER-MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS DECISION POINTS AT WHICH ADDITIONAL PRECISION CAN BENEFIT FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES II) UPDATE THE HENRYS FORK DROUGHT MANAGEMENT PLAN (DMP) TO SERVE AS A WATER STRATEGY DOCUMENT AS DEFINED IN THE NOFO AND III) ASSESS THE FEASIBILITY OF INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES AND ADDITIONAL STREAMFLOW DATA TO FACILITATE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STRATEGIES, INCLUDING COST, ENGINEERING ASPECTS, SAFETY, AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.EXPECTED DELIVERABLES OR OUTCOMES: THE PROJECT APPLICANT IS THE HENRYS FORK FOUNDATION (HFF), A 501(C)3 NON-PROFIT FISHERIES AND WATERSHED CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION BASED IN ASHTON, IDAHO. WE ARE A CATEGORY B APPLICANT AS DEFINED IN THIS NOFO. OUR CATEGORY A PARTNER IS FREMONT-MADISON IRRIGATION DISTRICT (FMID), WHICH SERVES 1,900 SPACE HOLDERS AND AGRICULTURAL WATER USERS IN THE HENRYS FORK OF THE SNAKE RIVER WATERSHED (HFW). FMID IS THE SOLE ENTITY THAT HOLDS IRRIGATION STORAGE WATER RIGHTS IN GRASSYLAKE AND ISLAND PARK RESERVOIR (IPR), THE TWO RECLAMATION RESERVOIRS IN THE WATERSHED. IN ADDITION, FMID OWNS AND OPERATES IRRIGATION DIVERSION INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE AGRICULTURAL AREAS OF THE WATERSHED, 60 MILES DOWNSTREAM OF IPR. THE PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES AT IPR, FMIDS DIVERSIONS, AND AN INTERVENING PRIVATE HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES TO IMPROVE WATER MANAGEMENT TO BENEFIT FISHERIES THROUGHOUT THE HFW.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES. ALSO, ANGLERS AND GUIDES.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES (IF KNOWN OR SPECIFIED AT TIME OF AWARD):

AWARD PURPOSE: THE HENRYS FORK FOUNDATION (HFF), A NONPROFIT WATERSHED CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION, WILL PARTNER WITH FREMONT-MADISON IRRIGATION DISTRICT (FMID) TO IMPROVE FISHERIES IN THE SNAKE RIVER BASIN, THROUGHOUT IDAHO AND WYOMING, BY DEVELOPING NEW DATA INFRASTRUCTURE AND EXPANDING HYDROLOGIC MODELING.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: DEVELOP NEW DATA INFRASTRUCTURE AND EXPANSION OF HYDROLOGIC MODELING OF THE SOUTH FORK SNAKE RIVER.EXPECTED DELIVERABLES OR OUTCOMES: TO SUPPORT FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS IN WATER MANAGEMENT ON THE HENRYS FORK AND EXPAND THEM TO THE SOUTH FORK, THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE STAKEHOLDERS AND MANAGERS WITH THE DATA, MODELS, AND SHORT-TERM STREAMFLOW FORECASTS NEEDED TO MORE PRECISELY MANAGE STORAGE RESERVOIRS.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE OPTIMIZING DATA COLLECTION, DATA AVAILABILITY, AND STREAMFLOW FORECASTING TO ENHANCE FISHERIES IN THE SNAKE RIVER WATERSHED PROJECT (PROJECT) ACHIEVES THE PUBLIC PURPOSE OF THE ACT BY INCREASING WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY, PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY IN WATER OPERATIONS, AND IMPROVING WATER MANAGEMENT.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES (IF KNOWN OR SPECIFIED AT TIME OF AWARD): N A

THE HENRYS FORK FOUNDATION (HFF) IS A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION, ABILITY TO LEVERAGE ADDITIONAL FUNDING, EXPERTISE, AND SKILLS MAKE IT UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE ISSUES AT ISLAND PARK RESERVOIR. OUR MISSION IS TO CONSERVE, RESTORE, AND PROTECT THE UNIQUE FISHERY, WILDLIFE, AND AESTHETIC QUALITIES OF THE HENRYS FORK OF THE SNAKE RIVER WATERSHED. HFF IS SUPPORTED BY DONATIONS FROM ITS 2,500 MEMBERS AND GRANTS FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND PUBLIC AGENCIES. SINCE HFF FIRST HIRED FULL-TIME STAFF IN 1992, SCIENCE-BASED COLLABORATION HAS BEEN THE HFFS PRIMARY MODE OF MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENT. WITH FREMONT-MADISON IRRIGATION DISTRICT (FMID), HFF CO-FACILITATES THE HENRYS FORK WATERSHED COUNCIL, WHICH HAS BECOME A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED MODEL OF COLLABORATIVE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH. THE HFFS SCIENCE-BASED WORK IS SUPPORTED BY A SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM THAT INCLUDES AN IN-HOUSE WATER QUALITY AQUATIC ECOLOGY LABORATORY AND IS STAFFED BYFIVE FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT EMPLOYEES, ONE GRADUATE STUDENTS, AND AS MANY AS SIX UNDERGRADUATE INTERNS.OUR PROJECT GOAL IS TO PERMANENTLY ELIMINATE THE DRAWDOWN-DRIVEN OXYTHERMAL HABITAT SQUEEZE BY DESIGNING, EVALUATING, AND INSTALLING A HYPOLIMNETIC OXYGENATION SYSTEM. HYPOLIMNETIC OXYGENATION IS A PROVEN TECHNIQUE FOR IMPROVING FISH HABITAT (MCQUEEN LEAN 1986, HORNE 2019) AND DOWNSTREAM WATER QUALITY (HORNE 2019). IN 2021, A HYPOLIMNETIC OXYGENATION SYSTEM WOULD HAVE INCREASED TOTAL HABITAT FOR KOKANEE SALMON IN ISLAND PARK RESERVOIR FROM 1,000 ACRE FEET TO 3,500 ACRE-FEET, AN INCREASE OF 350%. ABSOLUTE HABITAT SAVINGS WILL BE EVEN LARGER IN YEARS WHERE ISLAND PARK RESERVOIR DRAWDOWN IS LOWERPRELIMINARY DATA FROM HENRYS FORK FOUNDATION MONITORING INDICATES UP TO 20,000 ACRE-FEET IN HABITAT IMPROVEMENT IS POSSIBLE IN YEARS WITH LOWER DRAWDOWN. HYPOLIMNETIC OXYGENATION WILL PERMANENTLY INCREASE DEEP, COLDWATER REFUGIA DESPITE ISLAND PARK RESERVOIRS SHALLOWNESS (MEAN DEPTH 5 M) AND CLIMATE DRIVEN UNCERTAINTY IN WATER REGIME. FUNDS PROVIDED BY THE RFHP WILL BE USED TO DEVELOP ASHOVEL-READY DESIGN PLAN. A SHOVEL-READY PLAN INCLUDES NECESSARY ENGINEERING DESIGN, STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH, PLAN EVALUATION, AND MONITORING. A SHOVEL-READY PLAN ALLOWS US TO LEVERAGE UP TO $3 MILLION IN USBR WATERSMART GRANTS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND JOBS ACT AND INFLATION REDUCTION ACT.

ISLAND PARK RESERVOIR IS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE WHEN THE QUALITY OF UPPER HENRY S FORK FISHERIES IS CONSIDERED. GIVEN THAT THE HENRY S FORK DOWNSTREAM OF ISLAND PARK RESERVOIR HAS CONSISTENTLY RANKED AS A TOP DESTINATION FOR FLY FISHING ANGLERS, MANY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED. HFF AIMS TO DEVELOP NEW MECHANISTIC AND PREDICTIVE MODELS OF WATER QUALITY AND FISH HABITAT, WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR FORECASTING OF WATER CONDITIONS AND FISH HABITAT IN ISLAND PARK RESERVOIR GIVEN KNOWN CLIMATIC, HYDROLOGIC, AGRICULTURAL, MANAGEMENT, AND LIMNOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. TRANSITIONING FROM REACTIVE MONITORING PROJECTS TO PROACTIVE PREDICTIVE MODELING ASSISTS IN MANAGING AND UNDERSTANDING MANAGEMENT ALTERNATIVES CONSEQUENCES. MODELS DEVELOPED THROUGH THE PROJECT ILLUSTRATE HOW EFFECTIVE DIFFERENT WATER CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES COULD BE, THEREBY ASSISTING THE HFF IN OPTIMIZING AND PRIORITIZING SMALL-SCALE, ON-FARM PRECISION MANAGEMENT AND WATER-CONSERVATION PROJECTS THAT BENEFIT ISLAND PARK RESERVOIR.
