Description
This project is designed to improve fish = passage,=20 water quality and water quantity for listed steelhead through = riparian=20 restoration on urban properties. This project will increase water = quality=20 by discouraging the use of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides = on lawns=20 and by replacement of lawn turf with native grasses, shrubs and = trees.=20 Habitat improvement will also result from reduced sediment = transfer to the=20 creek through bank stabilization and increased shade, thus = reducing stream=20 temperatures. Water quantity will increase through water = conservation with=20 improved irrigation systems and reduction in water use in areas = where=20 native species are planted. Instream barriers to fish passage will = be=20 removed. Additionally, a primary project objective is to increase = public=20 awareness of the importance of Yellowhawk Creek and to improve = behavior=20 toward neighborhood creek reaches through development of a = Yellowhawk=20 Stream Keepers network.

Notes
PROJECT TASKS:
Task 1: Complete an in-depth = survey=20 of the condition of the approximately 150 properties associated = with=20 Yellowhawk Creek within the Walla Walla City limits. = Identification of=20 Yellowhawk Creek urban reaches and homeowners who are currently = providing=20 good care to stream banks, alternatives to chemical applications = to lawns=20 and reduced water use. Identification of problem areas, including = fish=20 passage barriers, degraded riparian areas and extensively = irrigated lawns=20 adjacent to properties where riparian areas areas are properly=20 functioning.
1.1 Update homeowner list through coordination = with Walla=20 Walla County GIS department staff who provided original ownership = map and=20 database.
1.2 Review Pledge Project information to identify = homeowners=20 who returned pledge cards.
1.3 Interview approximately 30 = homeowners to=20 determine those interested in establishing a stream keepers = network and/or=20 engaging in restoration for their backyard stream.
1.4 Update = map, and=20 illustrate with photo points at approximately 50 locations showing = hot=20 spots that need restoration and areas that need protection from=20 inappropriate development.

Deliverables/Due Dates: Due = September=20 2006.
=E2=80=A2 Data from interviews and plan for developing = Stream Keepers=20 network.
=E2=80=A2 A map and database of areas of Yellowhawk = Creek currently in=20 good health and managed properly.

Task 2: = Provide=20 information to homeowners regarding native plants, plant = guidelines,=20 alternatives to herbicides and pesticides and businesses that = provide=20 supplies and expertise for installation and maintenance. = Coordinate with=20 Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) Water Center classes and = ECOLOGY=20 staff to reinforce and provide additional information.
2.1 = Create an=20 information packet to provide information to homeowners regarding = native=20 plants, plant guidelines, alternatives to herbicides and = pesticides and=20 businesses (preferably local) that provide supplies and expertise = for=20 installation and maintenance.
2.2 Coordinate with WWCC Water = Center as=20 they develop curriculum for watershed restoration classes = beginning in the=20 fall of 2006.
2.3 Organize and conduct neighborhood group = meetings to=20 provide and discuss information.
2.4 Coordinate with ECOLOGY = staff,=20 City of Walla Walla and WWCC to organize and conduct water = conservation=20 workshop and advertise to homeowners on Yellowhawk=20 Creek.

Deliverables/Due Dates: Due December = 2006.
=E2=80=A2 Information=20 packets produced developed, including native plant species list = for=20 review.
=E2=80=A2 Documentation of distribution of packets = meetings to discuss=20 information.

Task 3: To complete design, agreements and = restoration of=20 a minimum of three backyards, example restoration projects by June = 2007.
3.1 Develop criteria and scoring system; select = landowners for=20 project implementation.
3.2 Aquire landowner agreements and = cooperation=20 cost share from landowners.
3.3 Design project and obtain = shoreline=20 management exemptions from ECOLOGY through the City of Walla Walla = and one=20 HPA permit for the entire project from WDFW.
3.4 Develop small=20 contracts and organize labor and volunteers for project=20 implementation.
3.5 Order plants.
3.6 Remove non-native = vegetation=20 and plant native plants.
3.7 Establish criteria for success and = monitoring measurement methods.
3.8 Obtain additional cost = share=20 funding and volunteer time from additional=20 sources.

Deliverables/Due Dates: Due June = 2007.
=E2=80=A2 List of=20 criteria and transparent scoring process for selection of = landowners.
