Comment:

The revised proposal did a good job of specifically addressing questions about technical benefits. Comments on the original proposal were that it was not clearly linked to the Fish and Wildlife Program, did not specify that the water saved will be reserved for instream uses, nor did not sufficiently describe the projected benefits to fish and wildlife. Some of these concerns were addressed in the revision. This is an irrigation improvement project and the ISRP wondered whether BPA was the right funding source.
