Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Pass (Fundable)
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

Management Issue: Management flag – concern about the "in-lieu" issue and the delegation of funding responsibility (is this an example of BPA funding replacing a USFS responsibility?). The Forest Service should fund some of this work because their activities caused many of the problems.

Technical Issue: Need more detail on specifically which parameters will be monitored and evaluated to determine if the expected results are being achieved.

Recommendation:
Adequate
Date:

Comment:

These proposals (199607702 and 199607706) adequately describe the problems and the likely benefits to fish and wildlife. However, each also has some negative aspects, as detailed below. Methods for measuring reduced sediment delivery to the stream are not adequately described. This proposal lacks a good monitoring plan. The watershed analysis should be done before the restoration activities, not after. The roads that will be de-commissioned are not well described. Do these roads cause the sediment problems?
