Comment:

This is a very good, concise proposal that meets most of the Council's criteria. The project is a continuation of Ochoco National Forest's efforts to remove barriers to fish passage and improve water quality and will open up 3.1 miles of fish habitat. The proposal provides direct on-the-ground benefits to ESA listed individuals in the Trout Creek, Ochoco National Forest. The proposal includes good support by the Ochoco National Forest, is recommended by a Watershed Analysis, and long term O&M and M&E are apparently funded by the Ochoco National Forest. Furthermore, the project appears to be very economic for the benefits to be gained. Trout Creek is a key tributary for steelhead in the Deschutes, but the proposal did not describe this well. They should consider potential impacts on native resident stocks if any are present above the culverts.

Comment:

Proposal does not specify the kind of culverts. If the proposal is to replace round culverts with bigger round culverts, it is not worth it. The proposal was not coordinated with the tribe.
