Schedule Constraints: Construction and installation pumping stations can most easily and effectively be accomplished during periods of low flows (normally beginning mid-July on the lower North Fork). May have to acquire brief extension on permits for instream work.


Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Pass (Fundable)
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

Technical Issue: Concerned that the only M&E is water temperatures behind the push-up dams. Need to provide more detail on the monitoring and evaluation plans.

Management Issue: Include an analysis of alternatives including transferring the water to an instream right.

Comment:

This proposal would eliminate adult and juvenile fish passage problems. The goals are reasonable. The objectives, tasks, and subtasks are not clearly defined. The objective is to improve water quality, but there are no measurable end points. It lacks a fisheries context. It is not clear how this proposal relates to the Fish and Wildlife Program.
