View Source Document: Shoshone Paiute Tribes Climate Resilience Plan
Year: 2020
Topic: Ensure that the Riparian and Wet Meadow Ecosystem is thriving, vibrant, and resilient.
Explore drought protection measures for reservoirs on Duck Valley (e.g. connectivity to deep wells, aerators to inhibit algae growth).
Use game cameras to better understand the impact of cattle and wildlife on spring wellheads.
Identify opportunities to implement effective spring wellhead protections (i.e. using pipe fencing and off-site water troughs).
Utilize game cameras to document and monitor the use of off-site water troughs.
Monitor fish use of thermal refugia.
Map areas of historically large-scale snow deposition in mountains.
Develop a Watershed Protection Plan that considers the impact of climate change on headwater flow and water temperature.
Monitor areas where snowpack is expected to decline due to climate change.
Identify fish passage technologies (e.g., design of fish friendly culverts, bottomless arches and bridge) that support and encourage fish populations.
Install snow fences to maximize snow deposition and retention in areas where snowfall is projected to decline due to climate...
Fund fish passage technologies that support and encourage fish populations.
Improve ATV and vehicular crossings for sensitive streambed areas to support wildlife and limit erosion (i.e. bridges instead of culverts).
