Graham Rocky Mountain Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-129 June 2004 Graham, Kathleen L. 2004. History of the Priest River Experiment Station. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS- GTR-129. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 71 p. Abstract In 1911, the U.S. Forest Service established the Priest River Experimental Forest near Priest River, Idaho. The Forest served as headquarters for the Priest River Forest Experiment Station and continues to be used for forest research critical to understanding forest development and the many processes, structures, and functions occurring in them. At the time the Forest was created, Idaho had been a State for only 11 years. The early Forest Service leaders, such as Gifford Pinchot, Raphael Zon, and Henry Graves, were creating a new department and making decisions that would impact the culture, economics, and history of not only the State of Idaho and the Northwest, but the nation. The location of the Forest, in a remote section of northern Idaho, was due partly to the need for research on tree species within the Pacific Coast forest region, but also because it contained large amounts of western white pine, the prized tree species for construction. Since the Forest’s establishment, numerous Forest Service researchers, educators from colleges and universities across the nation, and State and private forestry personnel have used the Forest to solve problems impacting forests and economics, not only locally and regionally but also worldwide.

    2019 PROJECT PLAN Priest River Coldwater Bypass Alternatives

    Project Operations Package Appendix T As recommended by the WRTAC on 1/22/2019 for MC consideration 2019 PROJECT PLAN Priest River Coldwater Bypass Alternatives Assessment Project Contact Kiira Siitari, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, (208)769-1414, [email protected] Project History This is a continuing project, first approved for 2018. There are no changes to the budget. Reporting timelines have been updated for 2019. The first phase of the project, contracted by the Kalispel Tribe with Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) funding, and completed in 2014, resulted in a stream temperature and flow model developed by the Water Quality Research Group at Portland State University (Berger et al. 2014). This hydrodynamic model predicted that replacing a portion of the epilimnetic water released from the Priest Lake Outlet Dam with cold water from the hypolimion would result in up to a 10°C decrease in late summer stream temperatures. Temperature reductions would primarily benefit the most stenothermic native salmonids in the Priest and Pend Oreille systems, namely migratory bull trout and westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkia lewisi) which inhabit Lake Pend Oreille. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game alternatives analysis is needed to better assess bypass feasibility, cost, and public interest, and ultimately inform whether or not they will further pursue this potential project. Background Lower Priest River begins at the outlet of Priest Lake in northern Idaho. The stream flows 45 miles south to its confluence with the Pend Oreille River, upstream from Albeni Falls Dam (Figure 1). Priest River is hydrologically connected to Lake Pend Oreille with no barriers to fish movement, and like a number of other Idaho tributaries to the system, provides spawning and early rearing habitat for Lake Pend Oreille bull trout.
