Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Fundable. B-list
Date:
Jun 21, 2001

Comment:

Fundable, ranked at the middle of the B list. This proposal meets the solicitation criteria. Affected species are ESA listed, there are also non-ESA-listed species, and the work would be one-time, on-the-ground for fish, with the main emphasis on tributary passage improvement. Benefits to the species affected by the power system emergency from this project will likely be long-term rather than immediate. The project proposes to remove a critical downstream culvert in a tributary watershed in which several other BPA-funded road projects are removing migration barriers (mostly culverts). Twenty miles of upstream spawning and rearing habitat would be opened up where now only the rare steelhead can ascend. The project was ranked at top priority for culvert replacement in a county barrier inventory using WDFW evaluation guidelines. The existing culvert would be replaced with a concrete bridge, leaving a natural stream channel under the bridge (although requiring restoration after construction). Considerable preparatory work has been done, including obtaining permits and making specific plans. Alternatives were investigated and the present plans selected for good reasons. The proposal is complete except for resumes of key personnel (although the construction work will be contacted from the Chelan County offices). Monitoring is planned in coordination with other agencies using funds other than this proposal.
Recommendation:
Defer
Date:
Jun 29, 2001

Comment:

The council recommended that proposal 26036, Chumstick Creek (North Road) Culvert Replacement, be deferred to the Columbia Cascade provincial review after closely reviewing a recent within-year reallocation request for the same proposal. The council staff's recommendation in that decision was that the context of provincial review is necessary to devote the substantial funding requested for a culvert replacement project. The Council's Fish and Wildlife Committee agreed with the staff recommendation in the same meeting where it reviewed Action Plan proposals.
