Columbia River Power System Biological Opinion” (The Research, Monitoring and Evaluation Plan, http://www.efw.bpa.gov/cgi-bin/FW/welcome.cgi). Because of the M&E efforts already underway in the Grande Ronde (e.g., NPT NEOH M&E program and CSMEP), a template for cataloging data, similar to that currently being used in the other federal pilot programs (e.g.,Wenatchee, John Day, and Upper Salmon), is available for application (Appendix 9). The template includes consideration of Tier 1, 2, and 3 variables, which are consistent with the FCRPS BiOp 5.5.2 Terrestrial Research Monitoring and Evaluation The Grande Ronde Subbasin Terrestrial Team found preparation of the terrestrial assessment very challenging. Initial screening of IBIS and ONHIC data found both to be of questionable accuracy. Consequently the team spent much time analyzing the data for accuracy and validity. There is little if any local species population data for many of the selected focal species so changes in habitat from historic to current were the basis of the assessment. Data gaps and research needs are also addressed for each habitat type in the Synthesis section beginning on page 206. Suggestions for monitoring and evaluation are: • Determine population status in the Grande Ronde Subbasin of the American marten, olive-sided flycatcher, white-headed woodpecker, sage sparrow, Columbia spotted frog and yellow warbler. Data on these species is a prerequisite to meaningful discussions on the changes to habitats. • Inventory and assess condition of aspen and mountain mahogany habitat types. Access USFS data, although these are limited, for baseline information. • Conduct literature search and/or initiate studies to determine timing and type of use of these habitats by wildlife in the Grande Ronde Subbasin. • Access USFS data and inventory priority habitats to determine habitat quality with reference to dependent focal species. • Identify key wildlife habitat corridors/links. • Identify and protect wildlife habitat corridors/links Develop higher resolution habitat maps which accurately show location and extent of priority habitats (e.g., stringer wetlands). 6.
