Non-point source (NPS) pollution is water pollution that comes from many diffuse sources. As runoff from rainfall or snowmelt moves, it picks up and carries natural and human-made pollutants to streams, rivers, lakes, and wetlands, or ground waters. This assessment has four objectives: . Update the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation’s (CTCR) current NPS assessment from 1992. Assess the current status of water quality and NPS pollution on the whole reservation. To provide direction for ETD’s NPS control program. Identify information gaps that may exist. Reservation turbidity levels are a concern with 17 (of 59) monitored WMUs having average turbidity above a benchmark (6.45 NTU) that ETD considers the acceptable maximum. The Okanogan River also experiences turbidity levels above ETD’s level of concern. Bacterial contamination is also a concern with 16 of 59 monitored Watershed Management Units (WMUs) (25% of sampled WMUs) having exceedances of the tribal fecal coliform standard or an E. coli level of concern during this four year period. Road inventory work conducted by Environmental Trust indicates that significant sediment delivery from roads is occurring across the reservation (CTCR, 2010 A). Analysis shows that reservation turbidity levels are correlated with stream crossings. Additional study is needed to assess which crossing characteristics are responsible for increased turbidity. 68% of roads on the reservation are associated with silviculture. Despite showing a record of bacterial contamination, ETD has less data than needed to reveal the extent of contamination. Additional study is needed to differentiate contamination levels from the various potential sources such as ranching, wildlife, or septic systems. The following analysis attempts to give a thorough description of the reservation’s assessment methodologies, land cover and uses, soil, surface and ground waters, NPS concerns, NPS programs, and partnerships. Colville Reservation has a large land base and the assessment that follows is a reflection of that. This assessment identifies nine information gaps that need attention. 5 Colville Confederated Tribes Water Pollution Nonpoint Source Assessment Report January 2011 Introduction The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (CTCR) is home to twelve aboriginal tribes located on, or relocated to the reservation by the Federal Government. President Ulysses Grant established the reservation (approximately two million acres) by executive order in 1872. Through a series of federal actions the reservation was moved and cut in size multiple times. In particular, the Federal Government opened the remaining reservation (1,449,268 acres) to non-native settlement via the General Allotment Act of 1887 in 1916. By 1956 (the end of “the allotment era”), the reservation was less than 650,000 acres. The federal government subsequently returned 800,000 acres to the CTCR in 1956 bringing reservation close to 1.4 million acres. Presently, the Tribes continue to purchase fee land back in hope of one day owning the entire reservation in trust (Solomon, 2010). Allotted and tribal trust owned lands remain on the “North Half” north of the Colville Reservation and in surrounding areas including the Moses Agreement Reservation area to the west of the Columbia and Okanogan Rivers. The Tribe also purchases land outside the reservation boundaries for various purposes. The majority of purchased fee land has been for the purpose of fish and wildlife enhancement. Over 5,000 tribal members live on the reservation, centered in the communities shown in Figure II. However, most reservation lands remain in Forestry and Rangeland Management. Surface waters and wildlife were historically, and still are, an important part of Tribal culture and life. The Natural Resource Department’s Holistic Goal refers heavily to the cultural significance of natural resources on the Reservation. The Tribes have incorporated several programs into their government to manage and conserve natural resources. The Colville Indian Reservation is located in north central Washington State. The reservation spans 1.4 million acres and is bounded to the east and south by the Columbia River and to the west by the Okanogan River. Its landscape includes part of the Columbia Plateau and Northern Rocky Mountain ecoregions. About 800,000 acres are forested. The remainder is range land or is farmed. A small percentage of the land base is covered with urban or industrial development. About 7,000 miles of road exist within the Reservation. Approximately 80% of the Reservation area is in trust status with remaining area being fee land (20%). 6 Colville Confederated Tribes Water Pollution Nonpoint Source Assessment Report January 2011 Figure I: Location of the Colville Reservation within Washington State The Environmental Trust Department (ETD) administers tribal water quality standards and carries out monitoring aimed at fulfilling Clean Water Act requirements. Specifically, ETD carries out monitoring programs at the whole watershed scale including water quality testing, stream structure assessments, road inventories, riparian functioning condition assessments, etc. The Fish and Wildlife Department (F&W) monitors surface water quality by salmonid health, fecundity, populations and habitat. Anadromous fish are very sensitive to disturbance and water quality and are good indicators of restoration efforts. The Resource Inventory and Analysis Department assists both programs with GIS and data organization/storage. For reservation surface waters, bacterial contamination is a concern with 16 of 59 monitored Watershed Management Units (WMUs) (25% of sampled WMUs) having exceedances of the tribal fecal coliform standard or an E. coli level of concern during this four year period. This is a particular concern for beneficial uses including water supply, food supply, traditional and cultural use, and recreation. For instance, active religious and ceremonial sites exist within

    Tracing of Fish Farm Effects on Sediment and Food Web of Rufus Woods Lake, Columbia River 2009 Results Prepared For: Pacific Aquaculture Inc. Nespelem, Washington and Colville Confederated Tribes Natural Resources Department Environmental Trust Program Nespelem, Washington Date of submission: 21 August 2010 Principal Investigator: Jack Rensel Ph. D.1 1/ Research Scientist Rensel Associates Aquatic Sciences 4209 234th Street N.E. Arlington, WA 98223 Field Assistance: SCUBA Underwater Recovery Mr. Archie Dennis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fish farming of sterile steelhead trout in net pens has been practiced since 1989 in Rufus Woods Lake, a mid‐Columbia River reservoir downstream of Grand Coulee Dam and the large Lake Roosevelt storage reservoir (Shallenberger 2009). Before pens were first placed, I was asked to examine water quality and potential impacts of the first operation. This led to a report quantifying the dissolved and total nutrient flux of the river throughout Washington State and estimated effects of different levels of fish farm production on the system through water and nutrient budget analyses (Rensel 1989). It was clear at that time that Columbia River and even downstream locations were highly impoverished with respect to the important macronutrients nitrogen and phosphorus. This results from nutrient trapping in the large, upstream Canadian and American storage reservoirs in this river system. This process, common in rivers with numerous or extensive storage reservoirs, traps particulate nutrients, prevent remineralization and curtails “nutrient spiraling” (i.e., flux downstream of nutrients from dissolved to particulate and inorganic to organic, both repeating). Chlorophyll a concentrations in mid Columbia River reservoirs drop to very low concentrations and dissolved inorganic phosphorus becomes immeasurably low throughout most of the year.

August 19, 2021) – Recently, hundreds of adult summer chinook were released upstream of Grand Coulee and Chief Joseph dams. The releases are part of a huge undertaking by the Colville Confederated Tribes (CCT) to reconnect salmon to their historic habitat. In July and August, 235 adult chinook were released in the Sanpoil. On August 16, 107 adult chinook were released in Lake Rufus Woods just behind Chief Joseph Dam. The chinook were surplus hatchery fish from the Douglas County PUD’s Wells Hatchery. Casey Baldwin, research scientist for Colville Tribes’ Fish and Wildlife (CTFW), said that all of the fish were PIT tagged. “In the Sanpoil, the PIT tags will tell us if they move out of the river or up the West Fork. In Lake Rufus Woods, the PIT tags will tell us if they move into the Nespelem River, or if they fall back through Chief Joseph Dam and go to a hatchery or a tributary.” Since 2019, the CCT have held several cultural and educational releases to reintroduce salmon into blocked areas of the Columbia River. (MORE) “The CCT have been waiting patiently for salmon to return to the upper Columbia (above Chief Joseph and Grand Coulee dam) for over 80 years,” said Joe Peone, director for CTFW. “But now we are taking steps to make it happen.
