2 Study of the impacts of global climate change is an evolving field, and additional research is needed to understand the phenomenon’s likely
effects on estuarine habitats and processes with specificity. At this time, the Independent Scientific Advisory Board of the Northwest Power and
Conservation Council expects that the regional effects of global climate change in the next century will include more precipitation falling as rain
rather than snow, reduced snow pack, and late-summer/early-fall stream flows, and associated rises in stream temperature (Independent Scientific Advisory Board 2007). The climate-related management actions in Table 1 reflect these expected impacts. Although the management actions clearly would not change the threat of global climate change itself, they have the potential to lessen its impact on salmonids in the estuary.
Even if climate cycles and global climate change have effects different from those assumed in this document, the management actions that
Table 1 associates with climate would provide benefits to salmonids by addressing other threats, such as water withdrawal, urban and industrial
practices, and reservoir heating. All three of the management actions associated with climate in Table 1 are associated with other threats listed
in Table 1.
3 Unless otherwise noted, the term best management practices is used in the Estuary Module to indicate general methods or techniques found
to be most effective in achieving an objective. NMFS envisions that in implementation, specific best management practices would be developed
or recommended.
Note: Italics indicate an action’s second occurrence in the table, in connection with a different threat.
Identifying management actions that
could reduce threats to salmon and
steelhead as they rear in or migrate
through the estuary is an important step
toward improving conditions for
salmonids during a critical stage in their
life cycles. However, actual
implementation of management actions
is constrained by a variety of factors,
such as technical, economic, and private
property considerations. In some cases,
it will be impossible to realize an
action’s full potential because its
implementation is constrained by past
societal decisions that are functionally
irreversible. An important assumption
of the Estuary Module is that the
implementation of each of the 23
management actions is constrained in
some manner.
The Estuary Module makes another
important assumption about
implementation: although
implementation of actions is
constrained, even constrained
implementation can make important
contributions to the survival of
salmonids in the estuary and plume.
Within the context of these two
fundamental assumptions, the Estuary
Module evaluates the costs and
potential benefits of recovery actions.

Potential Survival Benefits
To help characterize potential
survival improvements, the Estuary
Module uses a planning exercise that
involves distributing a plausible
survival improvement target of 20
percent across the actions to
hypothesize the portion of that total
survival improvement target that might
result from each action. The primary
purpose of the survival improvement
target is to help compare the relative
potential benefits of different
management actions. The survival
improvement target does not account for
variation at the ESU, population, and
subpopulation scales, and is not
intended for use in life cycle modeling,
except as a starting point in the absence
of more rigorous data.

Time and Cost Estimates
Each action in the Estuary Module is
broken down into a number of specific
projects or units, and per-unit costs for
each project are identified. The costs
reflect assumptions about the
constraints to implementation and the
degree to which it is possible to reduce
those constraints.
Given those constraints, the Estuary
Module estimates that the cost of
implementing all 23 actions and
associated research and monitoring over
a 25-year time period is $592.15 million.
Costs of tributary actions and the total
estimated time and cost of recovery for
each affected ESU or DPS will be
provided in ESU- and DPS-level
recovery plans.
Monitoring and Adaptive Management
Research, monitoring, and evaluation
(RME) within an adaptive management
framework is a critical element of
recovery planning for ESA-listed
species. Monitoring for the Estuary
Module will build on ongoing efforts. In
particular, the Federal Columbia River
Estuary Research, Monitoring, and
Evaluation Program (Johnson et al.,
2008) is an appropriate monitoring plan
on which to base RME for the Estuary
Module, particularly because it links
Estuary Module RME to RME for the
2008 Federal Columbia River Power
System Biological Opinion and its 2010
Supplement (NMFS, 2008 and 2010).
The Estuary Module also identifies
other applicable monitoring plans and
guidance documents as well as
additional monitoring needs,
particularly in the area of action
effectiveness monitoring.
Conclusion
The Estuary Module contributes to all
the Columbia Basin salmon and
steelhead recovery plans by analyzing
limiting factors and threats related to
survival of listed salmon and steelhead
in the Columbia River estuary,
identifying site-specific management
actions related to those limiting factors
and threats, and estimating the cost and
time to implement those actions. NMFS
PO 00000
Frm 00017

will incorporate the Estuary Module by
reference into all Columbia Basin
salmon and steelhead recovery plans.
We conclude that the Estuary Module
provides information that helps to meet
the requirements for recovery plans
under ESA section 4(f), and adopt it as
a component of Columbia Basin ESA
recovery plans.

EBMS is a n-tier enterprise solution.
The solution will use COTS products,
installed at a Central Server location.
EBMS which is delineated in several
DoD issuances, including DoD Directive
6000.12, DoD Instruction 6480.4, and
AR10–64, has applicability at the
headquarters level allowing Armed
Services Blood Program (ASBP) and
Service Blood Program Office (SBPO) to
