Recommendation:
Pass (Fundable)
Date:
May 13, 1998
Comment:
Management Issue: Management flag – concerned about the "in-lieu" issue and the delegation of funding responsibility. The Forest Service should be contributing more of the cost share.Technical Issue: Explain why a nursery needs constructed in order to revegetate the meadow.
Technical Issue: Explain how this project is coordinated with other projects in the watershed.

Recommendation:
Inadequate after revision

Comment:
This proposal is unclear. It does not adequately describe the history of the project and the area. The proposal is for stream protection along with planting of riparian vegetation. Although the proposal states that grazing has been removed for ten years, it does not adequately describe what is causing the current problems. In particular, if livestock have been excluded, one would expect that ample vegetation should regenerate. The proposal does not demonstrate that planting is needed. The proposal also is vague on habitat improvement methods, and the horticultural center is not described in enough detail. The budget is not adequately explained and should be analyzed by BPA ($525,553 (1997-2003) to treat only 2.5 miles of stream)
