Schedule Constraints: It is impossible to identify all constraints and problems that may occur. While we will make every attempt to stay on schedule, unforseen assignments, bad weather, equipment failure, etc. will delay progress.


Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Fundable
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

Presentation: This project addresses the need for a centralized database and formalizes the coordination between the Spokane Tribe, the Colville Tribe, the Kalispel Tribe and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. The project has several phases: Phase 1 (slated for completion in 1998) will set up central office space, acquire central computers, establish links to satellite offices and Streamnet, coordinate data collection system, and formalize the coordination between the co managers. Phase 2 (1999 - 2001) will develop analysis tools, input and assess data, identify data gaps, and recommend management efforts for the blocked area. StreamNet will link templates and data for spatial representation. Phase 3 will begin in 2002 and will implement, monitor and evaluate recommendations.

Questions/Answers:

Why doesn't the proposal include resumes? Answer: Some people are not hired yet. The Kalispel Tribe position is that the personnel we hire fall under the guidance of the Tribe.

Is this a data management project? Answer: Not entirely. When the data gaps have been identified, the project will move to implementation. The data will be displayed spatially.

How will data compiled by this project modify management actions in the Pend Oreille system? Answer: The management agencies will use this information. It will also be available to the FERC re-licensing proceedings. The Forest Service has land in this area that the other management entities do not have access to. This project brings information together for all of the co-managers to share. FERC license holders are contributing to the project.

What would happen if the BPA funding ran out? Will the database be maintained? Answer: Maintaining the database can be done by the Kalispel Tribe. The tribe has a strong commitment to do this. Funding for implementing the management recommendations would have to be addressed at that point.

Screening Criteria: Yes

Technical Criteria: Yes. Data management tasks not aligned with objectives in FY 2000 and beyond.

Programmatic Criteria: Yes

Recommendation:
Inadequate proposal, adequate purpose
Date:
Jun 18, 1998

Comment:

It is a good idea to conduct a resident fish stock status project, but this proposal does not ensure that the project will be well implemented. The proposal lacks both methodological detail and a clear conceptual framework. The objectives are not consistent. BPA should examine the budget.
