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 detailed methods and site specific actions are provided and an independent comprehensive review of the Walla Walla program is done.

Comments: Although the reviewers don't doubt the lack of water in the Walla Walla, the specifics of the problem and the activity are poorly explained. What is this proposal about? What is the specific location of the collection facility and release cites? The watershed effort needs to address the lack of water as the primary limiting factor.

Comment:

Technical Criteria 1: Met? yes -

Programmatic Criteria 2: Met? no - In background section it is stated that this project was began in 1998. Why is it proposed as a new project for 2000?

Milestone Criteria 3: Met? no - Objectives are not clearly defined.

Resource Criteria 4: Met? yes -


Recommendation:
Date:
Aug 20, 1999

Comment:

General tightening. Costs reduced as a result of improved efficiencies.
Recommendation:
Fund to maintain existing operations
Date:
Oct 29, 1999

Comment:

Fund to maintain existing operations. See programmatic recommendation for Umatilla and Walla Walla under project 8903500. Again, the problem in the Walla Walla River is lack of flow and the presence of physical structures that impede passage of fish. There is a need to continue this project until some other solution, if any, can be found.
