Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: Operation of the hatchery is dependant upon purchase of property, engineering/design, and construction. All phases of the three step NPPC review process have been completed.

Comment:
Presentation: The goal of this project is to produce native Yellowstone cutthroat trout, redband trout and rainbow trout. The first two phases have been completed and the project has been issued a FONSI through the NEPA process. The project is currently in Step 2 of the Council's 3-step process. The Tribe has signed an option to purchase the property on May 3, 1998. Construction should be completed in 1998. The 1999 budget covers start-up, maintenance, personnel, etc.Questions/Answers:
Have you secured the construction money? Answer: Yes, $1.7 million was allocated in 1995 and has been carried forward.
Where will the fish be stocked? Answer: For now, the project will supply fish for the reservations but after the project passes the second NEPA review, we would like to supply fish to other areas.
What does the $61,000 star-up money cover? Answer: It will be used to purchase of hatchery equipment, nets, buckets, etc. It may be high.
You are planning to replace native broodstock with wild gametes at 20-30% per year. Is this more than you need? Answer: We came up with that number from the literature. We want to maintain the integrity of these fish. Do you need to develop a broodstock management plan as well? In the first phase we will raise rainbow trout and do an inventory of the reservation.
Would you stock hatchery fish on top of wild native stock? No, our main plan is to stock rainbow trout on the reservation, we will only re-introduce fish where there are no pure Yellowstone cutthroat trout.
Screening Criteria: Yes
Technical Criteria: Yes
Programmatic Criteria: Yes . What is the link between the two tribes? Criteria 11 isn't adequately addressed.
General Comment: Exercise caution with pure wild stocks. Will costs for 9501500 and 8815600 decrease?
Comment:
A full complement of personnel is not needed during the first year of operationComment:
This proposal is for a hatchery facility, but the hatchery does not appear to be technically justified. The proposal is for hatchery production of native stocks of cutthroat trout and for production of rainbow trout for use in put-and-take fisheries. However, the area has a history of ecological problems with resident fish caused by introduction of hatchery rainbow trout. Also, it is not clear that hatchery cutthroat are needed, as native stocks are present, and the genetic and ecological effects of hatchery fish could be problematic. The proposal does give needed consideration to genetics, but, although tasks involve genetic analyses, no geneticists are listed and no methods for this are detailed.
