Section 1. Administrative
| Proposal title | Subbasin Scale Monitoring and Plan Implementation Monitoring for the Yakima Subbasin Plan |
| Proposal ID | 200710200 |
| Organization | Yakima Subbasin Fish and Wildlife Planning Board |
| Short description | Provide the Planning Board, with tools to contribute to the NPCC’s Fish and Wildlife Program, the Project Proposal /Review Process, meet the goals of the Power Act, the and move toward “normative” conditions in the Yakima Subbasin. |
| Information transfer | Information will be used to track success in plan implementation, “gap” analysis of projects or project types in the applicable strategies or plans which are not being implemented, project development, and prioritization or ranking processes for various funding cycles that occur within the Subbasin, including the SRFB and NPPC processes. |

| NPCC FINAL FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS (Oct 23, 2006) [full Council recs] | ||||||
| $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 | Expense | ProvinceExpense | Do Not Fund |
ISRP PRELIMINARY REVIEW (Jun 2, 2006)
Recommendation: Not fundable
NPCC comments: The proposal fell short of justifying the project’s need; i.e., what aspects of the current restoration tracking systems are not working and how will this project help correct these deficiencies? Although it would be good to have a central clearinghouse for information in the Yakima Basin, this proposal does not provide enough information to clarify what this activity would entail. The suggestion that this project would become responsible for reviewing proposed restoration projects and selecting those that are most appropriate seems to duplicate the processes currently being handled by the Council's review activities and other Yakima subbasin planning efforts. If the project proposed here is to assume these responsibilities, some indication of how this authority would be transferred and the method that will be used to conduct the scientific reviews of proposals should have been fully described. Although the title of the proposal implies otherwise, this project will not actually do any monitoring.
