Relevant RPAs based on NMFS/BPA review:
| Reviewing agency | Action # | BiOp Agency | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| NMFS | Action 149 | NMFS | BOR shall initiate programs in three priority subbasins (identified in the Basinwide Recovery Strategy) per year over 5 years, in coordination with NMFS, FWS, the states and others, to address all flow, passage, and screening problems in each subbasin over 10 years. The Corps shall implement demonstration projects to improve habitat in subbasins where water-diversion-related problems could cause take of listed species. Under the NWPPC program, BPA addresses passage, screening, and flow problems, where they are not the responsibility of others. BPA expects to expand on these measures in coordination with the NWPPC process to complement BOR actions described in the action above. |

Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Fundable only if response is adequate
Mar 1, 2002
Comment:
A response is needed. The Objectives, tasks and methods section is too brief to allow scientific review. More detail is required in the M&E section even if the monitoring may be conducted as part of another project. They should be able to provide before and after fish presence data. Requirements of the consultant and methods to be used should be provided in detail.Comment:
Needs better development of M&E. USFWS are currently performing spawning surveys in the Entiat subbasin. The reviewers do not believe that the contingency funds proposed are BPA fundable. NMFS has identified this project as a BiOp project.Comment:
Fundable. The response is adequate and includes a good breakdown of objectives, tasks, and methods.Comment:
Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESUIncrease survival by providing improved upstream and downstream passage within the side channels of a major irrigation diversion .
Comments
The proposal is presented by WDFW and the Yakima Screen Shop (see comment above) and would go along with a pump screening facility that was completed in 1998 and meets criteria.
Already ESA Req? No
Biop? Yes
Comment:
Recommend funding for implementation of RPA 149. Passage and screening proposals should be a coordinated program package for prioritization.Comment:
Project Issue 3: New proposals prioritized by the Columbia Cascade fish and wildlife managers to fit within the province allocation
After working with existing projects, additional funds remained within the province allocation. The prioritization group sought to add projects that advance their most pressing management objectives and also had broad support from the ISRP, CBFWA, Bonneville, and NOAA Fisheries for ESA needs. Three of the four projects proposed have across the board support from the entities that reviewed the proposals:
(a) Project 29040 OK-11 Develop and Propagate Local Okanogan River Summer/Fall Chinook (supported by ISRP, CBFWA, Bonneville; no ESA applicability),
(b) Project 29026 Hanan-Detwiler Passage Improvements (supported by ISRP, CBFWA, Bonneville, NOAA - RPA 149), and
(c) Project 29027 Comprehensive Inventory and Prioritization of Fish Passage and Screening Problems in the Wenatchee and Entiat (supported by ISRP, CBFWA, Bonneville, NOAA - RPA 149, 154).
The fourth project is 29033 Design and Conduct Monitoring and Evaluation Associated with the Reestablishment of Okanogan Basin Natural Production. (supported by ISRP, CBFWA and NOAA-RPAs 182, 184). Bonneville was the long dissenter, rating the project as a "C" and suggesting that this be deferred until after subbasin planning. The sponsor reports that recent discussions with Bonneville may yield a more favorable rating for this project. In any event, the Confederated Colville Tribes states that this project is critical for meeting its overall management objectives for the Okanogan subbasin.
Council Recommendation: The Council recommends funding for these four new projects at the levels identified in the attached projects table. These projects represent the highest priorities of the group working in the Columbia Cascade province. The ISRP supports each project, and two of the projects add ESA applicability as determined by NOAA Fisheries. The Council does not believe that deferring projects pending completion of a regional RM&E plan is appropriate given what appears to be the difficulty and delay the region, and particularly the federal agencies leading the effort, are having in making progress in that area.
BPA Funding Decision
Fund when Funds available. Not critical.
Apr 30, 2003
Comment:
Phase 3 will be initiated upon resolution of identified issues. This proposal would likely implement RPA 149. BPA has determined in coordination with NOAA Fisheries that this project is not critical for the FY03 - 05 check-ins. Projects may be funded when sufficient funds are available.Comment:
