Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
This proposal received a low evaluation because the specific roads slated for decommissioning were not identified. The identification of ten miles seems arbitrary. If this is high priority why didn't it show up in the Columbia Gorge provincial review? Was it funded under Watershed Council efforts? Similarly, they do not specify the ESA-listed species, although they refer to winter and summer steelhead. There is inadequate discussion of potential benefits. They should consider potential impacts on native resident stocks if any are present above the culverts.Comment:
An in lieu concern was voiced in the technical review, that as a federal agency the US Forest Service has more ability to secure federal funds to correct problems arising from its management in order to comply with federal laws (ESA).
