Comment:
Not fundable under this solicitation. This proposal does not relate clearly to the current power emergency, is planned to happen anyway in the future, and does not appear that it can be accomplished quickly. Thus, immediate benefits are not apparent. No compelling argument is presented to expedite funding under this solicitation. This is a proposal to improve what is perceived to be needed improvement in passage of bull trout in Pipe Creek, Kootenai River. The proposal shows bull trout numbers steadily increasing in recent years making it difficult to follow the sponsor's reasoning for the poor passage conditions. The proposal does not make a convincing argument that conditions altered in the Kootenai River by the emergency action exacerbated problems for bull trout destined for Pole Creek. The proposal contains appropriate detail on planning and methods of stream reconstruction.
