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 <p>
Date:

Comment:

Management Issue: Management flag – concern about the "in-lieu" issue and the delegation of funding responsibility. The Forest Service should fund some of this work because their activities caused many of the problems.

Technical Issue: Explain how placing logs and backfill reduces surface erosion.

Technical Issue: Explain how the action proposed by this technique will not cause another failure?

Technical Issue: Explain how the costs are not excessive for road obliteration.

Comment:

These proposals (199607703 and 199607707) adequately describe the problems and the likely benefits to fish and wildlife. However, each also has some negative aspects, as detailed below. The proposals do not tell how reduction in sediment delivery will be measured. BPA should look at the budget. Is this cost sharing for BPA when Forest Service and NPT do the work and BPA is the funding source for both. It appears that in 1998, $109,328 will be spent to obliterate 10 miles of road. This is $10,900 per mile or 4 times as much as in project #9607706 (Lolo Watershed). Why the disparity?
