Plants Utilized in Paradise Creek Restoration............................. 145 6 Acknowledgements The Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) would like to thank the members of the Paradise Creek Watershed Advisory Group and the Clearwater Basin Advisory Group for their efforts to improve the water quality of Paradise Creek. The residents of the Paradise Creek watershed are fortunate to have many dedicated and knowledgeable individuals involved in the management of our natural resources. PCEI was especially fortunate to work with the Latah Soil and Water Conservation District as our partner in the Paradise Creek Total Maximum Daily Load Implementation Project. Thank you to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) Non-Point Source Management Program and to the IDEQ Regional Office in Lewiston, ID. IDEQ provided funding for the project, technical support, and leadership to guide our region through the TMDL and Implementation Plan process for improved water quality. We would like to thank our Paradise Creek watershed community, including our supporters in Moscow, ID, Pullman, WA, the University of Idaho and Washington State University. We would like to thank all of the generous landowners, farmers, and land managers who collaborated on restoration projects and continue to be examples of responsible stewardship. Thank you to the City of Moscow for providing funding and support throughout the process. We would especially like to thank the City of Moscow Parks and Recreation Department for collaborating on many stream restoration projects associated with City of Moscow property. Thank you to the staff of PCEI past and present whose hard work, long hours, passion for community service and commitment to environmental conservation led to these results. Special thanks go to the PCEI membership, community supporters, and dedicated volunteers. Their generosity, dedication, flexibility and enthusiasm are inspirational. The implementation of this project was truly a community effort. We learned about the little stream that winds through our forests, farmland, neighborhoods, and campus. We learned the meaning of watershed stewardship, we learned about our community, and we learned how much we could accomplish by working together. 7 8 Summary Through the collaborative Paradise Creek Total Maximum Daily Load Implementation Project, the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) completed watershed restoration projects on Paradise Creek and its tributaries from January 2000 to December 2004. The TMDL Implementation Project was a watershed effort led by the Paradise Creek Watershed Advisory Group, the Latah Soil and Water Conservation District and PCEI. This report covers restoration work by PCEI for the TMDL Implementation Project under two contracts, #QC060500 and #QC056200, with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act. Restoration efforts were designed to reduce nonpoint source pollution in Paradise Creek to reach the targets set by the Paradise Creek Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and TMDL Implementation Plan. Through these efforts, restoration projects were implemented by PCEI on public and private lands throughout the watershed. PCEI completed 39 restoration projects on Paradise Creek and its tributaries. The major project categories were: urban riparian restoration, animal waste prevention, roadside erosion control, rural riparian restoration, and wetlands restoration. In total, the restoration projects implemented by PCEI treated 8.9 miles of streambank and restored 35 acres of vegetated stream buffer area. To restore wetland and riparian plant communities, more than 27,500 woody plants were installed along with 13,000 emergent herbaceous plants, and 12.4 acres of grass. The restoration work engaged community volunteers and supporters to provide materials and labor. More than 19,000 hours of volunteer time went into the project. Following the completion of project implementation, PCEI is focused monitoring and evaluation to determine success and improve future efforts. 9 10 The Paradise Creek Total Maximum Daily Load Implementation Project Paradise Creek Paradise Creek is located in the Palouse Bioregion of northern Idaho and eastern

The event was the kick-off for the University of Idaho's Sexual Assault Awareness Week sponsored by the Women's Center and the ASUI Safety Task Force. The march, which began at Guy Wicks Field, took marchers on a winding tour of campus, lead by Safety Task Force Chair Angela Rauch and Vice-Chair Rhonda Anderson.

We need to increase awareness and help victims of these types of violent crimes to gain the courage to . speak out and get help," Anderson said. z'4w" 4. During the march a whistle was blown every 15 seconds, signifying the statistic of one woman battered in the United States every 15 ~A'!. seconds. Similarly, each minute a bell was rung, signifying the rape of one woman. The march ended on the steps of the Administration Building where poetry, written by victims, was read and family members and survivors spoke about loss and hope. The mes- t. sage alw'ays: "Fight back, it's not your fault, get help, you'e not alone" was heard as encourage- ment from the victims and their families.
