Section 2. Past accomplishments

Year	Accomplishment
1989-2001	Trapping and transportation of juvenile and adult salmonids has occurred annually to increase survival of juvenile and adult migrants.

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 2001-6)

Recommendation:
Fundable - no response required

Date:
Jun 15, 2001

Comment:

Fundable. This proposal is a continuation of a 13-year project to operate fish passage facilities on the Umatilla River. The proposal is well written and complete. This appears to have been a successful project over a period of considerable evolution as fish populations have been progressively restored and water returned to the river. The long-range objective is to phase out this project as river flows improve and problems with in-river migration are dealt with.

They need to make the ties of how this fits with program's Monitoring and evaluation project 199000501. They state on page 6 that they participate in the Umatilla Management and Monitoring and Evaluation Oversite (sic) Committee. What we are looking for is a specific statement of how they work closely with both monitoring and evaluation projects to assure that any data collected are shared with them.

BPA Funding Recommendation

Recommendation:
Rank A

Date:
Oct 16, 2001

Comment:

Although these activities, e.g., operating and maintaining fihs ladders, bypasses, screens, and trap and haul equipment, are essential in the Umatilla subbasin, this project should consider cost sharing from the irrigation districts and /or BOR, since the work is mitigation for BOR irrigation activities

Comment:

In FY 04 CTUIR is seeking an increase of $16,493 to cover previous years unfunded increases of Indirect rates. Unfunded 2002 Indirect rate increase @ 37.2% = $6,478. Unfunded 2003 Indirect rate increase @ 39.64% = $10,015.
