Schedule Constraints: Improving and maintaining habitat requires long term commitments between landowners and all agencies involved. Long term cost-share availability on all projects and practices is necessary for continued landowner involvement in the watershed program.

Comment:

The revised proposal provides more information. The location of sediment sampling sites should be shown on a map. Since the project has a history, the proposal should present results obtained to date (pre-project temperatures, sedimentation, etc). The no-till practices may lead to more herbicide and pesticide use; they should describe to what extent they will limit herbicide and pesticide use. The proposal includes language about fecal coliform counts, but this is not the easiest or most relevant way to monitor fish habitat. The terms "clearing" and "snagging" raise a red flag; does this mean the removal of beneficial structures. The removal of fish migration barriers is not described in enough detail to ensure that they are not removing snags that are beneficial to fish. The benefits to fish and wildlife are not well explained. The methods and monitoring for this project are not well described.
