| FY 2002 forecast from 2001 | $1,426,885 |
| % change from forecast | -32.9% |
Reason for change in estimated budget
The reduction from $1,482,885 to $956,849 is primarily due to the delay in completion of the Umatilla Hatchery supplement (UHS) and the NEOH/Walla Walla Hatchery. It was originally anticipated that the O & M costs for this facility would be provided under this project beginning in FY 2002. Outyear costs are projected to increase substantially in FY 2003 due to the anticipated completion of the UHS and NEOH/Walla Walla Hatchery and related O & M costs.

Comment:
Fundable. (We have several suggestions relating to this proposal that are found in our comments on the Hatchery Evaluation Proposal.) This project functions as part of the Umatilla Hatchery Project. There is an ongoing and probably increasing cost associated with O&M of these facilities. While one might argue that acclimation in the satellite facilities may or may not accomplish much in terms of producing a homing tendency of the adults to return to those satellite sites, the practicalities of the matter are that there is insufficient water at the hatchery proper to rear the number of fish resulting from the egg take, so some outside facilities are necessary. Monitoring and evaluation should be designed to address specific questions raised by assumptions involved in this project. (See our comments on the Hatchery monitoring and evaluation Proposal.)

Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESUIncrease abundance of existing populations and/or reintroduce replacements for extirpated populations in Umatilla River using hatchery techniques
Comments
Acclimation project for steelhead supplementation (MCR SH) and reintroduction/supplementation of coho, fall chinook, and spring chinook (Carson stock). Closely integrated with Umatilla Hatchery. Provides major fishery benefits.

Biop? NO
Comment:
On the surface, the maintenance costs for these juvenile and adult facilities appear high, given the newness of the facilities. However, this project is much more than maintenance - it includes transport from the hatchery and alloperational costs during the 4-8 week acclimation period. In addition, there has been considerable downward pressure on the budget over the last few years as it goes through CBFWA Review.Comment:

Comment:
Might be a little low on accruals, but multiple facilities, and prepared for catastrophic needs. 04 and 05 Indirect increase and overall utilities and maintenance.Comment:
In FY 04 CTUIR is seeking an increase of $88,061 to cover a combination of unfunded increase of Indirect rates in previous years and to cover overall increases in utilities and maintenance costs at all fish facilities. Unfunded 2002 Indirect rate increase @ 37.2% = $15,415. Unfunded 2003 Indirect rate increase @ 39.64% = $30,377. Utilities & maintenance costs increase estimated @ $42,269.REVIEW:
