Comment:
Not fundable under this solicitation. Although this project meets the ESA criterion, it does not meet the criterion for a one-time, on-the-ground action for benefit of fish. It also does not meet any of the four functional criteria for this solicitation. This is a proposal to set up water and temperature gauging stations in eight critical reaches of the Wenatchee River. It is a long-term project that could be begin in 2001, but is intended to have ongoing operations (as reflected in budgets of outyears). There is no doubt that the objectives are good and the work is needed for benefit of fish in the basin. However, the benefits will be in the future as the data from these monitoring stations are incorporated into plans for future water right acquisitions, land purchases, etc. or the monitoring of current water-related actions. In addition, although the types of data to be collected are useful for river and fishery managers they need to demonstrate that managers will use the information the will generate. This project may be appropriate for submittal in the Columbia Cascade Province solicitation coming up in the fall of 2001. It should be included as part of a comprehensive project to provide temperature and flow data in the Columbia Cascade Province/mid-Columbia or larger area as part of a responsive management program. Projects 26016, 26017, and 26029 could be included in such a plan.Comment:
The Council also considered three Action Plan proposals which were not recommended in the first round of proposal consideration. Although the proposal sponsors did not respond to the initial ISRP comments in time for this review process, they have since done so. The Council agreed to seek the ISRP's review of these responses for an additional consideration for funding under the Action Plan solicitation. The proposals are:- 26016 Entiat Subbasin - Stream Gaging Installation and Operations
- 26017 Okanogan Subbasin - Stream Gaging Installation and Operations
- 26029 Wenatchee Subbasin - Stream Gaging Installation and Operations
These proposals address water quantity measures in important water quantity-limited tributaries. New proposals in these tributaries will not be considered until the completion of the Columbia Cascade provincial review next summer, which means that their benefits could not be realized until 2003. For that reason, the Council agreed to accept the sponsor's responses and to seek additional ISRP review. We will forward to you further recommendations for these proposals once the ISRP review is completed.
