REVIEW:
ISRP Review (ISRP 2001-7)

Recommendation:
Not fundable under this solicitation

Date:
Jun 21, 2001

Comment:

Not fundable under this solicitation. The proposal does not meet the solicitation criteria. The proposal area is below the mainstem Columbia dams and the proposal does not demonstrate that there would be benefits to species that are impacted by this year's emergency operation. It does not offer immediate on-the-ground benefits. The proposal offers a logical assessment and prioritization process that would take advantage of low flow conditions to identify passage problems; the opportunity for such a safe and comprehensive inventory and evaluation may disappear next year. However, potential actions to improve passage would occur later.

One of the strengths of the proposed work is the linkages that have already been formed with other pertinent land and resource managers. This includes data sharing, utilization of in-place protocols and survey methods, and defined avenues for integrated decision-making. The budget looks appropriate to the proposed tasks. The Lower Columbia Province review is scheduled for the late fall and winter of 2001 and the proposal might be resubmitted for that solicitation.
