Other budget explanation

Schedule Constraints: Broken out by each objective, the potential time constraints are as follows: Objective #1: Protect at-risk rearing habitats and floodplain areas through conservation easement purchase and property acquisition. Time constraints include land availability, potential limitations of conservation easement recipients, weather limitations on land appraisals, contractor scheduling (for fence construction). Objective #2: Restore connectivity to off-channel rearing habitats and floodplains. Time constraints include construction season limitations, contractor schedules permitting delays, permit limitations, and coordinating with private landowners. Objective #3: Restore habitat function in off-channel habitats. Time constraints include construction season limitations, contractor schedules permitting delays, permit limitations, and coordinating with private landowners. Objective #4: Monitor and report results of project activities. Time constraints include weather limitations. Major milestones include: 1. Inventory subbasin within key reaches to prioritize protection, restoration and reconnection projects. 2. Establish contact with private landowners and affected companies. 3. Develop MOU’s with interested parties. 4. Implement habitat protection/restoration/reconnection efforts.

Comment:

The proposed activity is likely to be beneficial to fish and wildlife. The monitoring and technical background need to be better described. The methodology lacks specific details.
