Section 2. Past accomplishments

Year	Accomplishment
1987	NPPC amended the F&W Program to include baseline stream surveys of tributaries located on the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation.
1990	Conducted field surveys of Reservation streams. Documented location, accessibility, stream gradient, and habitat potential of 21 streams within the Reservation boundaries.
1991	Used a modified Missouri method of evaluating streams in combination with information on biological indicators to select target tributaries for restoration and enhancement.
1992	Compiled population and biomass estimates for westslope cutthroat trout and calculated community metrics for macroinvertebrate populations in each target tributary.
1993	Identified limiting factors for westslope cutthroat and bull trout in target tributaries.

1994	Recommendations given by the Coeur d'Alene Tribe were adopted by NPPC (10.8B.20).
1995	Used GIS technology to identify priority areas for restoration by overlaying information on riparian condition, fish population abundance and distribution, and land ownership.
1995	Erected 2.8 km of exclusion fencing, installed bank protection structures, constructed pool habitat, and reestablished connections with historic floodplain channels at two locations.
1995	Implemented the first compensatory harvest project by planting 1000 rainbow trout into Worley Pond.
1995	Initiated annual creel census surveys at Worley Pond to help manage put and take fisheries on the Reservation.

1998	Stocked Worley Pond with 1400 rainbow trout.
1998	Compiled comprehensive lists of landowner contacts in each of the target watersheds. Signed 8 long-term easements to protect critical habitat in two target watersheds during the past three years.
1998	Completed a gravel study in known spawning tributaries of each target watershed to quantify the quality and quantity of available spawning gravel.
1998	Collected over 400 individual tissue samples from 13 location to determine stock purity and relatedness of westslope cutthroat trout stocks.
1998	Completed supplementation feasibility report for westslope cutthroat trout on Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation. Determined the need for supplementation of natural fish stocks in order to meet goals of NPPC and Tribe.
1999	Stocked Worley Pond with 1400 rainbow trout.
1999	Rehabilitated more than 20 acres of riparian habitat and planted more than 11,000 trees and shrubs. Substantially reduced non-point source sediment pollution from over 300 acres of farmland.
1999	Initiated a bathymetric survey of Lake Coeur d'Alene to quantify near shore habitat.
1999	Completed a biological assessment for bull trout in waters of the Coeur d'Alene Reservation. Obtained an incidental take permit from the USFWS to authorize restoration and monitoring/evaluation activities and ensure compliance with ESA.
1999	Completed a NEPA compliance checklist and supplemental analysis for watershed projects under the watershed management program EIS.
1999	Completed a stock assessment for westslope cutthroat trout in waters of the Coeur d'Alene Reservation.
