Technical Issue: Need to describe what activities will be modified and what additional work will be performed based on receiving funding in FY98.Comment:
Presentation: This is the sister project to the Flathead Focus Watershed project. It coordinates implementation of Excessive Drawdown (9401001) and Libby Mitigation (8346700). The Libby Mitigation Plan equals the Libby Watershed Plan. The FY 99 budget will be used for coordination, public scoping/outreach and travel. The funding for on-the-ground work and monitoring comes from other projects. The local county commissioners provide some for stream rehabilitation.Questions/Answers:
There is a concern about sprouting coordinators. Does this project coordinate with the Kootenai River Ecosystem project (9404900)? Answer: No, the Kootenais do not want to be the primary coordinators.
Why is $20,000 in the budget for purchasing conservation easements? Answer: This is being negotiated at this time.

Comment:
This is a Watershed Council proposal that falls short of providing concrete plans. Thus, it ranked low in the set. The abstract needs to be better written. The objectives are not clear in text. It shows a strong collaboration with two Kootenai projects and should include more coordination with other projects. The focus here is on public interaction, which may be different enough from other efforts in the basin to warrant funding.
