Project IDTitleDescription
8812001 Yakima/Klickitat Fisheries Project MGMT. Core Management/Admin. Support services for all YIN's YKFP Tasks.
8811500 Yakima Hatchery Construction Final design/construction of needed acclimation facilities/wells for YFP.
9701300 Yakima Cle Elum Hatchery O&M O&M costs for Cle Elum Supplementation and Research Facilities. Core Facility for the Yakima Fisheries Project.
9506300 Yakima/Klickitat M&E Program Covers the diverse M&E needs for the target species which are essential for the success of the YKFP.
8812008 Fisheries Technician Field Activities Provides essential technical support to fulfill the diverse needs of the YKFP i.e. M&E support, surveys, juvenile facility operations, marking, etc.

Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

Criteria 1: Technical Criteria - Yes

Criteria 2: Objectives Criteria - Incomplete: Reduce to approx. 10 pg. (submitted as 35 pg.), Relate Abstract and Description of Objectives (Sec. 7b.) to Sec. 4 (Objectives) and concentrate on describing this project specifically. Define methods for project tasks - i.e. What are critical stock identification techniques that will be employed (Objectives 1f, 2c, 4c), how will habitat inventory be done (Objective 2b), what new rearing and acclimation treatments will be tested and how (Objective 4b)?

Criteria 3: Milestones Criteria - Yes

Criteria 4: Resources Criteria - Yes

YKFP Inadequate proposal, adequate purpose as a set

Comment:

The proposal gives little specifics on fall chinook. It needs to provide better technical detail specific to the project. It uses the same boilerplate language as some of the other YKFP projects.
