Other budget explanation

Schedule Constraints: Dependent upon weather and flow conditions, monitoring and in-channel work may be delayed. Late spring rains or runoff could hinder efforts to collect information on habitat conditions or construct in-stream structures. All construction work within the ordinary high water mark will need to be completed prior to spring chinook spawning (late August) or conducted the following year. Any identified cultural or archaeological sites will be avoided, which may change the location of some work.


Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Return to Sponsor for Revision
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

Technical Issue: Explain if this is an ongoing project, not submitted in FY98 watershed process.

Technical Issue: Explain what work has already been done? Explain how planning, and implementation will both occur in FY99.

Technical Issue: Need to sequence the actions into steps by year – clearly describe exactly what will be done each year and how much money each action will require.


Recommendation:
Fund (low priority)
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

In-lieu funding issue. Proposed tasks appear to be "in lieu of other expenditures authorized or required from other entities under other agreements or provisions of law". (Section 4.(h)(10)(A) of PNW Power Act).
Recommendation:
Adequate

Jun 18, 1998

Comment:

The proposal text leaves the impression that this is a continuing project so it needs to describe why more review is necessary after so much preliminary work has already been done. The proposal did not clearly describe how it arrived at the limiting factors nor whether the land management activities that led to these problems have been corrected. It is good that the major land managers are participating and that the entire system has been evaluated. Specific prescriptions from the watershed analysis need to be presented, specifically in regards to the use of instream structures. The description of monitoring is insufficient.
