Not fundable. The potential benefits to fish and wildlife are not apparent. The risks to migrating salmon associated with the proposed project are probably as likely as any benefits. The survival rates of salmon transiting through the City of Portland are not provided and no case is made that salmon would benefit from the project. There is no quantification or summarization of the environmental, social, and economic benefits from the proposed private-public partnership.Comment:
This is an innovative and untested approach towards maximizing urban growth while protecting riparian habitats. There is a lack of discussion regarding the risks of attempting this type of action (erosion, increased predation, etc.) and how those risks wComment:

Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESUPotential improvement to rearing habitat
Comments
Driven by development and mitigation requirements. Has merit. Speculative and may be better suited for research approach -- control with statistically significant sampling with multivariate methods.
Already ESA Req? No
Biop? No
Comment:
Project may be more appropriately addressed by ODFW and the City of Portland under section 4D of the ESA and to address urban planning issues raised in the proposal. We also note that these stocks are not directly affected by FCRPS actions.Comment:
