Recommendation:
NA - Umbrella Proposal
Comments:
This was one of the better umbrella proposals. This umbrella proposal lays out the various linkages fairly well, including the need for the program to include all of these activities. This is a very complex set of project interactions, and this proposal explains that well. It did not appear that the extensive restoration measures described in the proposal were preceded by a comprehensive habitat assessment that indicated which restoration projects should receive priority. Why, for example, did the Buck Hollow restoration begin at the headwaters and proceed downstream instead of building outward from a known spawning and rearing location? Under project history, the number of habitat structures created/produced/maintained is impressive, but what was the resulting impact on fish populations? How much have the steelhead and bull trout populations increased since project implementation. This lack of reporting of results suggests that monitoring efforts to date have been weak.
