Relevant RPAs based on NMFS/BPA review:

Reviewing agency	Action #	BiOp Agency	Description
NMFS	Action 152	NMFS	The Action Agencies shall coordinate their efforts and support offsite habitat enhancement measures undertaken by other Federal agencies, states, Tribes, and local governments by the following:
NMFS	Action 154	NMFS	BPA shall work with the NWPPC to ensure development and updating of subbasin assessments and plans; match state and local funding for coordinated development of watershed assessments and plans; and help fund technical support for subbasin and watershed plan implementation from 2001 to 2006. Planning for priority subbasins should be completed by the 2003 check-in. The action agencies will work with other Federal agencies to ensure that subbasin and watershed assessments and plans are coordinated across non-Federal and Federal land ownerships and programs.

Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 2001-9)

Recommendation:
Fundable only if response is adequate

Date:
Sep 28, 2001

Comment:

Response needed. What watershed assessment protocols are being followed? How complete is the subbasin assessment? Much data was revealed to be missing in the set of project presentations; e.g. details of roads, landslide etc. in subwatersheds. The PAC has broad membership and could be a lead in the Subbasin Planning effort, including M&E, which is missing here. See 199706000 - comments apply.

REVIEW:
CBFWA Funding Recommendation

Recommendation:
High Priority

Date:
Nov 30, 2001

Comment:

This project coordinates assessment and implementation activities in the Clearwater subbasin. The project does not fit the criteria well since most of the implementation activities that are coordinated by this project are implemented through other projects. This project addresses RPA 152 and 154.

REVIEW:
ISRP Final Review (ISRP 2001-12A)

Recommendation:
Fund

Date:
Dec 21, 2001

Comment:

Fundable, but they need to raise their level of effort in coordinating assessments, prescriptions, rehabilitation works, and particularly in monitoring and evaluation. The PAC has broad membership and could be a lead in the Subbasin Planning effort, including M&E, which is missing here. This project should demonstrate performance by the next review cycle otherwise it should be terminated. Help from a contract biometrician must be obtained in planning the overall M&E as well as stock assessment work.

REVIEW:
NMFS Review

Recommendation:

Date:
Feb 1, 2002

Comment:

Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESU
Benefits are indirect. This project objectives are to plan, coordinate, and prioritize restoration actions and projects in the Clearwater Basin.

Comments
Here is another $350K for planning and focus of watershed efforts in the lower Clearwater. This group should be doing more to focus and prioritize the projects in the Clearwater subbasin.

Already ESA Req? No

Biop? Yes

Recommendation:

Date:

Comment:

FY2005 project period has not gone through a second provincial review, consequently this figure is a rough estimate and will depend upon the status of the Clearwater Subbasin Plan.
