Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Recommendation: Do not fund. This may be a significant problem but the proposal needs to show a tighter linkage to land use, and cost sharing with other organizations would better assure that the results would be applied to benefit fish and wildlife.Comments: This appears to be a great idea but they do not adequately describe how they are going to make the correlation between land use and accumulation of pesticides. There are multiple stressors in the system, so the evaluation will be complex; the GIS alone will not be able to tease out the complexities of the land use problems. It is possible that GIS coverage of land use in the area (task 1) may already exist and may not need to be duplicated; the proposers should check with other agencies. They might also consider analyzing tissue samples from suckers, as these fishes can be long-lived and can bioaccumulate toxins in muscle and fat tissues. If they do find a problem, they need a strategy to address the problems and a plan to monitor the subsequent implementation. This project should show some cost sharing with the land managers and the Washington Department of Ecology. The budget needs to be explained.
Comment:
Comment:
Screening Criteria: no- There are no RFM related fish measures listed in the proposal.Technical Criteria: no-The data use is not clear.
Programmatic Criteria: no-There are no clear hydro-related issues being addressed.
Milestone Criteria: no-There are no milestones listed.
General Comments: It appears to be an Anadromous fish project, and it should be forwarded to the Anadromous fish caucus.
Technically Sound? No
Aug 20, 1999
Comment:
Is $50,000 for report preparation appropriate?Proposal appears to initiate a never-ending cycle of research. When and how will this information lead to direct management decisions relative to the fish and wildlife program?
Poor cost-benefit ratio.
No cost-sharing.
