Recommendation:
Fundable. B-list

Comment:
Fundable, ranked at the top of the B list. This proposal satisfies the scope and criteria for project proposals. It is a good proposal to improve fish passage at three sites on the Lemhi and Salmon rivers. A fish ladder will be constructed and installed at the two (L3 and L3A) diversions on the Lemhi River. They will construct stair-step pools in Kinnikinic Creek, and in Holman Creek at Highway 75 culverts. The sites were identified as significant barriers to migrating fish by NMFS. The projects should in the long term provide benefits for the broods and population affected by the power system emergency. The budget is modest for construction projects and includes good cost share.
Details are lacking on the type of diversions involved on the Lemhi River. In general, the ISRP encourages the type of passage structure on the Holiday Ranch, John Day River, or infiltration galleries rather than fish ladders over diversion dams, if feasible. Assuming the sponsors have selected the best alternative, i.e., fish ladders, this project is fundable.
