Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment in the
Columbia Cascade Province
Project Goal:
The Columbia Cascade Province will have an implementation strategy
that is consistent with the vision, scientific principles,
biological objectives, and schedules of the Northwest Power Planning Commission
Fish and Wildlife Program
and the Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board.
This plan will be developed by local governments
and stakeholder entities, consistent and in parallel
with State 2514 planning processes.
This presentation will cover:
Who-What-When-Where-Why Tasks and timelines Process for cost estimates Value of EDT to local processes Value of EDT to Provincial Planning Concluding Remarks Questions
EDT in the Columbia Cascade Province
Who: Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation Yakama Nation
What:
Provide the analytical foundation required to substantiallycomplete the aquatic assessment and management componentsof subbasin plans in the Columbia Cascade Province.
Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment (EDT) methodology will be used to provide the
framework for describing existing habitat conditions and providing
rational towards future management decisions.
Where:Okanogan, Methow, Entiat and Wenatchee Sub-basins
When:Begin Diagnosis October 2002 Conclude Diagnosis September 2003Begin Treatment October 2003Conclude Treatment Summer 2004
Why:
The “Technical Guide for Subbasin Planners” (NWPPC 2001) identifies an approach to subbasin planning that builds upon the coarse scale EDT analysis conducted by the NWPPC to develop working hypotheses on the condition and processes affecting a subbasin ecosystem, and to evaluate alternative management strategies.
Much information about habitat conditions is available for each of the sub-basins BUT no consistent and contiguous database exists across the larger geographic area, and over time.

EDT in the Entiat Sub-basin Value of EDT to local processes
Example 1: Tables showing “significant” attribute definition and attribute ratings for historic and current conditions.
Example 2: Side by side tables of Level 2 Physical Attribute Ratings and resulting Level 3 Attributes (factors towards mortality) by stream reach.
• Excellent tool for professional and non-professionals to see how stream reach attributes are viewed by “expert” understanding.
• Excellent tool to see how physical attributes “cumulatively affect” salmonid mortality by reach and by life history stage.
• Any component of tool can be challenged and modified if better information is available.
• All information generated, reviewed and ok’ed ON-THE-GROUND resulting in high comfort level in database.
Value of EDT to Provincial Planning
Systematic, logical and trackable.
Provides one location for the best available science (at Provincial level and at Sub-basin level) to be stored and evaluated.
Provides accountability in how information is interpreted and used in decision making.
Process provides excellent forum for information exchange between professionals and other stakeholders.
Process provides common framework for resource managers and decision makers to better understand potential effects of management actions.
Provides excellent base from which monitoring programs can be derived and evaluation of progress over long time-periods can be implemented.
