Section 6. Biological objectives
| Biological objectives | Full description | Associated subbasin plan | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Increase survival of migrating salmonids | The biological objective of the project is to increase survival of migrants by ensuring adequate passage conditions exist for both upstream and downstream migration by monitoring river conditions and passage facility operations. The project also provides technical review and input on passage facilities and coordinates the overall passage program through development of the Annual Operation Plan. | Walla Walla | Section 1.1.5.2 of the Final Addendum to the Walla Walla Subbasin Plan |

Comments: WA recommends 0 for now. This project will be reconsidered if 199601100 is capitalized. OR recommends $105k. Recommend that sponsors and Bonneville consider combining this project w/ 200721700 and find budget efficiencies. ISRP fundable qualified: sponsors should address the ISRP M&E comments the next time they report to Bonneville (copy to Council staff).. |
