Comment:
Same proposal as FY98.Technical Issue: Provide specific details about how critically important lands will be chosen. Describe which areas and types of lands would be considered for acquisition. Provide an assessment of the availability of the critical properties. Provide a rationale for purchasing specific properties.
Management Issue: Explain the administrative infrastructure that will be used to implement the program, and the specific relationship with BOR.
Technical Issue: Proposal needs significant modification to clearly describe how the techniques are valid and appropriate to achieve the objectives, and the specific fish and wildlife benefit.
Recommendation:
Fund (low priority)
Date:
May 13, 1998
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:
Adequate
Date:
Jun 18, 1998
Comment:
Monitoring is not well described. The proposal indicates that purchases will be prioritized on an ecological basis but does not describe priority areas or ecological criteria. The proposal should describe its relationship to Bureau of Reclamation acquisitions. The proposal’s scientific approach is valid. The budget should be scrutinized and cost sharing should be considered.
