Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
This proposal was reviewed favorably in the Columbia Gorge province and fits in the provincial review as well as in this innovative solicitation. It is innovative and provides an opportunity to critically examine fish passage problems identified in the Klickitat River and elsewhere. It is an excellent proposal with local and regional application. If there is concern about the degree of fish passage problems in the Klickitat, then this work should be undertaken before KFP proceeds with major expenditures on fish passage. The ISRP identified it as a high priority fundable project in the Columbia Gorge Rolling Review (for further comments, see that report). It should not fall through the cracks, and is recommended for funding either here or through the Gorge province. The proposal is well targeted and meritorious. We had some question as to whether the proposal is over budgeted. The proposal shows a duration of two fiscal years, with over $300k for the first year. If funded with the innovative proposals, then it should be assured that this work can be done for under $400,000 during the Council review and BPA contracting period.Comment:
This project has demonstrated very limited application for management decisions. The ISRP continues to propose that this research would direct placement of fish ladders and removal of passage barriers, however, the work has not been proven for that capacity at this time. The work has merit but is not considered a high priority at this time.Comment:
