Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: Toppenish Creek and Satus Creek are tributaries of the Yakima River and flow through the Yakama Indian Reservation. It is assumed that for this reason there should not be any constraints other than natural causes, such as the weather, spring freshets.
Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Not fundable
Date:
May 13, 1998
Comment:
Presentation: A 1980 study surveyed resident fish in two tributaries of the Yakima River. Steelhead return to the Satus basin where there is an ongoing watershed project. Questions/Answers:
Will you look at non-salmonids? Answer: Yes, we will look at all species including bull trout. Historically there were no bull trout here.
Can you give a brief summary of the anadromous fish work in these two creeks? Answer: 80% of the steelhead in the Yakima River go into the Satus watershed. The Toppenish drainage has a lot of irrigation, unscreened diversions and a wildlife refuge.
Who operates the hydro project? Answer: It is a BOR irrigation project.
There is some frustration that anadromous fish projects have ignored resident fish. Why should we fund resident fish work here as opposed to other drainages? Answer: Satus Creek is a major steelhead stream.
Screening Criteria: No. The project does not address a specific resident fish measure.
Technical Criteria: No. The objectives and tasks are not clearly developed. There is nothing in the methods section.
Programmatic Criteria: Yes. The work may be valuable, but it should be assimilated into other work in the area from a watershed perspective. This is primarily an anadromous fish area.
General Comment: The project does not appear to coordinate with other ongoing or past work.
Recommendation:
Do Not Fund
