Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: This is a long-term monitoring project. Scheduling changes would not affect the ongoing steelhead monitoring of wild steelhead. However, delays in implementing the Walla Walla Hatchery for steelhead supplementation and spring chinook reintroduction would delay related tasks for monitoing those programs under this project.
Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Delay Funding
Date:
Jun 15, 1999
Comment:
Recommendation:
Delay funding until an independent comprehensive review of the Walla Walla program is done. The review needs to be coordinated with related projects (9901100, 20021) to identify overlap and collection of unnecessary data.
Comments:
This project needs close coordination with 20021, which has similar objectives. This proposal has to do with collection of baseline data, with no explanation of the goal, purpose or endpoint. Analysis and interpretation of the data are not adequately described. The proposal is similar to 20021.

Recommendation:
Date:
Aug 20, 1999
Comment:
Technical Criteria 1: Met? no - Costs for personnel seem too high. Once traps are in place requirements to check traps and tag fish should be relatively low. One or 2 crews of techs & one part-time bio should suffice.Programmatic Criteria 2: Met? yes - How do you have past accomplishments for a new project?
Milestone Criteria 3: Met? yes -
Resource Criteria 4: Met? yes -
Recommendation:
Date:
Aug 20, 1999
Comment:
Reduce Objectives 1,2 &4. Potential duplicative efforts were reduced and/or coordination was improved. General reduction in the scope of the project.
Recommendation:
Fund
Date:
Oct 29, 1999
Comment:
Fund to maintain existing operations. See programmatic recommendation for Umatilla and Walla Walla under project 8903500. Coordination of activities and purpose for the work have been clarified. Such work will be critical to the decision process in the basin toward restoration efforts - fundamental.
