Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: The only constrains that may cause schedule changes or delays would be the problem of hiring a qualified FTE to participate in meetings. Also, the problem of possibly not being able to find sufficient juvenile fish for release.
Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Date:
May 13, 1998
Comment:
Criteria 1: Technical Criteria - Incomplete It is not clear from the proposal exactly what techniques are being proposed to restore anadromous fish.
Criteria 2: Objectives Criteria - Incomplete: There is insufficient information to determine the feasibility of this project. This project is listed inappropriately as a flow/survival study when it appears to be a supplementation study.
Criteria 3: Milestones Criteria - Incomplete The objectives are a mix of supplementation, watershed, and planning and there is insufficient information to judge the likelihood of their being met.
Criteria 4: Resources Criteria - Incomplete Insufficient information to judge.
Recommendation:

Comment:
Returning anadromous fish to the Owyhee is a worthy goal, but the proposed work is not technically convincing. Getting the fish over Hells Canyon Dam may be the easiest part of the proposed work. The effects of non-native predator fish, high water temperatures, and agricultural factors are not addressed in the proposal; these are likely of high importance and must be considered in designing a convincing plan.
