Comments: ISRP fund in part: funding continues but part of funding contingent on outcome of a workshop with the ISRP to address ISRP concerns. Artificial production aspects of project need to have favorable step review (expense portion of project) see capital budget for capital recommendation |

ISRP PRELIMINARY REVIEW (Jun 2, 2006)
Recommendation: Fundable
NPCC comments: The Colville Tribes’ acquisition project has received high marks in the past, and the adjacent land proposed here for acquisition fits into long-term plans for wildlife mitigation. The proposal demonstrated a good history of acquiring land to meet the stated objectives at reasonable costs. Discussion of the strategy and implementation of land acquisition was thorough and well-justified, and specific pieces of land have been earmarked for priority purchase.
