Reviews and recommendations

Recommendation:
N/A

Comment:

This proposal does not address imminent risks to ESA stocks by offering direct on-the-ground benefits with one-time funding. This is a feasibility study. As demonstrated during the Columbia Gorge Province Review, Hemlock Dam is the number one limiting factor in the Wind River subbasin. The Wind River watershed assessment and restoration effort is sound and well coordinated, and this dam is clearly a significant limiting factor that would be a benefit to remove. Historically, the Wind River has been an outstanding steelhead stream. They should consider potential impacts on native resident stocks if any are present above the culverts.

Comment:

This proposal would fund assessment work and would not provide direct benefits.
