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 a thorough evaluation of success to date is completed. This project should be evaluated together with projects 8802200 and 8902700.

Comments: This proposal like some others is "operational in nature rather than research oriented". Therefore, "…specific data related to success of the project is limited." Neither is specific information provided on the facilities operated and maintained. The reviewer is referred to an annual report for that information. The result is that there is no basis for evaluating this proposal on its own. On the basis of the facts presented, it is not clear whether the fish passage facilities are located in stretches of river that are dewatered or in stretches of river that are bypassed by the truck and haul operation. Again, this argues for an umbrella project that would provide an evaluation of project success. This project is only necessary as part of a larger effort. If the larger effort is not achieving its objectives, there is no point in continuing this one.
