The project is on Deadman Creek, a tributary of the Snake River, which has a current Snake River Steelhead population. The stream currently provides water for approximately 150 animal units. The main objective is to establish a riparian buffer meeting NRCS specifications through an area that has been mainly used for winter livestock feeding and calving. The landowner has partially fenced the stream corridor, leaving water gaps for animal access: these areas are in need of rehabilitation. Bank sloughing and runoff contribute sediment and nutrients to the stream influencing fish habitat, water quality & riparian health. The goal of this project is to maintain cool water temperatures, reduce sediment & reduce nutrients, increase riparian habitat and diversity, & improve fish habitat, by developing an off-stream watering system and eliminating the need for cattle to enter the stream. Components are: livestock watering systems, stream crossing, 12,000 feet of riparian fencing, and complete 4 acres of riparian plantings. There is no existing power source, so a remote site generator will be used to pump from a well. The riparian corridor is now a near pure stand of hawthorn. The planting plan will be to remove a portion of the stand and interplant with species historically present in this plant community. There will be approximately 20 acres within the buffer. Project cooperators are the landowners, District, Natural Resources Conservation Service and Farm Service Agency.
