Comment:
Fundable, this is a continuation proposal for use of Creston National Fish Hatchery for the production of westslope cutthroat trout and rainbow trout for stocking in waters chosen by the MDFWP and CSKT. This is a clear, concise, well-written proposal and is much simplified from earlier proposals, and simply reflects the hatching and rearing components of the state and tribal management agencies' stocking programs. Gone is the plan for Lake McDonald rehabilitation, as proposed last year. Gone is specific responsibility for species and lakes to be stocked.The proposal is straightforward and clear. The background section is mostly history of the hatchery's involvement rather than scientific/technical background for stocking. The significance is given in the context of both the Subbasin Summary and the Fish and Wildlife Program (with sections cited). The proposal cites relevant projects in the basin and the constrained role of the hatchery in those programs. The project history is given well, including stocking data. Objectives and tasks are clear and limited. The essence of methods is provided with details referred to the HGMP. Monitoring and evaluation are discussed as the responsibility of the management agencies, and the essence of the approach is given. Facilities and equipment are appropriate, and the hatchery manager is experienced. Information transfer is to a limited audience—the management agencies. The benefit to fish and wildlife is largely to the fisheries in closed lakes and to wild stocks on which fishing mortality does not occur as a result of alternative fishing opportunities.
The management agency (MFWP) has studied the potential for doing damage to organisms such as amphibians in the stocked waters and concluded that it is not a problem.

Accrued $128068 - over rec amount. $7,500 added to 04 due to energy costs. 05 reflects base, plus 7500 for increased energy costs, plus $25k for operation of new treatment facility. SCOPE CHANGE for 05Comment:
Electrical costs increased 42% in FY 02 due to increased power rates from BPA operated power generating facilities. The requested amounts will help offset rising power costs.NW Power and Conservation Council's FY 2006 Project Funding Review
