Reviews and recommendations

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 2001-6)

Recommendation:
Fundability a policy decision - no response needed

Date:
Jun 15, 2001

Comment:

Funding of this is a policy question. The need for escape ramps is clear because of the estimated number of deer dying in canals, public concerns, and public safety issues, but the comparative priority under the Fish and Wildlife Program is low. BPA responsibility for funding is not clear. Why is this not a BOR related cost?
