Recommendation:
Not fundable under this solicitation

Comment:

Not fundable under this solicitation. This proposal is not a good fit with 2001 Action Plan Criteria -- no clear immediate on the ground benefits. The project offers long term habitat improvement. It does not appear to be urgent except for the possibility of losing public support. Monitoring is to be done in another project. The sponsors do not make a strong case that this project addresses imminent risk to ESA-listed species and it does not have an adequate description of immediate benefits. The project is low cost.
