Do Not Fund

Comment:
Budget constraints. Proposal was found to be technically sound and appropriate but was deferred because other work was judged more urgent and funds were not adequate for all needed work.
Recommendation:
Inadequate
Date:
Jun 18, 1998
Comment:
Reviewers note that the proposal fails to reference existing water temperature data or that much of the work has been previously conducted by Oregon State University. Flow augmentation from Dworshak Dam is a prerequisite for the study, yet the proposal cites no agreements or contracts to assure those flow requirements.
