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 that provides details of the monitoring plan. Effectiveness of a number of current and proposed management actions would be monitored under this project. A specific plan for each task needs to be described in addition to an overall plan. This is basically a proposal to develop a monitoring and evaluation plan. The response needs to take it to a detailed proposal that can be reviewed for scientific accuracy and precision.This is very long rambling proposal, but in the end the "Proposal objectives, tasks, and methods" section is too brief to allow complete scientific review. For example, Objective 2."Monitor spawning activities of ....." should include detailed plans for site selection including detailed data collection protocols. "Index sites" are not adequate for a long-term monitoring program. Selections of sites for monitoring all fish and habitat characteristics must include a probabilistic (statistical) sampling procedure in order to make statistical inferences to the larger areas. The ISRP strongly recommends that the proponents consider using the "Oregon Plan" as a model. This model plan is being developed for implementation in the John Day Basin. Other acceptable plans have been implemented in Northern California for juvenile coho and some of the national parks, e.g., North Cascades and Olympic. Also see the proposals, ISRP reviews, and proponent responses for fish, habitat, and water quality monitoring in the Salmon subbasin (199107300, 199405000, and 28051). Also, see the Council's draft recommendations on monitoring in the John Day of the Columbia Plateau Province (199801600). The proponents are referred to the programmatic section of this report on Monitoring, the specific comments on Aquatic Monitoring and Evaluation.
The specific sample areas, methods, and sampling frequency and intensity (i.e., how many samples of what type where and when) and data collection protocols need to be specified or referenced for each of the objectives. The relationship between aerial surveys of spawning areas and ground spawning surveys should be clarified. What are the objectives, tasks, sampling methods and data collection protocols?
The response should include a letter of support from the NMFS Science Center and the TRT staff for the final proposal.
The response should include a more complete discussion of the objectives, methods, location, and sponsor for Project #1991000501- Monitoring and evaluation statistical support. What is the relationship of the present proposal to Project #1991000501?
Comment:
Possible cost share for spring chinook through pacific salmon recovery funds. Objective 2-7, spring chinook monitoring, is unnecessary and Objective 7 monitoring is already covered by project# 29042. The budget has been reduced for 2003 by $290,000. Provides personnel funding for projects 29042, and 29050. NMFS has identified this project as a BiOp project.Comment:
Fundable with high priority. The ISRP appreciates the effort put into providing an excellent response to our concerns. If funded, the project would serve as a model for other monitoring and evaluation projects in the Columbia Cascade Province and elsewhere. This project would provide a model for monitoring and evaluation in the Columbia Basin of Washington much as the monitoring and evaluation program in the John Day Subbasin is evolving as a model in the Columbia Basin of Oregon. Both propose the use the EMAP sampling protocols as a basis for probabilistic sampling of the subbasins.The ISRP strongly recommends funding of this project. The response should be considered as an integral part of the initial proposal.
Comment:
Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESUIndirect benefit. Evaluation and monitoring of steelhead and fall/ summer chinook production (spawning, survival, abundance, distribution, rearing, life history) in the Okanagon Basin concurrent with proposed and implemented salmon and steelhead propagation initiatives. The project also includes monitoring and evaluation of tribal harvest and harvest methods.
Comments
The project outlines general monitoring of salmonids in the Okanagon basin along with the monitoring of propagation and reestablishment projects. This is important M&E that has the potential to increase our knowledge of runs in the basin and the success of propagation projects. However, the proposal lacks adequate detail on how the M&E will be carried out.
Already ESA Req? No
Biop? Yes
Comment:
Recommend deferral to Subbasin Planning. Recommend consideration of M&E activities upon completion of a Regional R,M&E Plan.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 180. 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:
Phase 3 project, delayed implementation, shift one year forward. If project started in 2003, 04 projection would be lower.Comment:
