Section 2. Past accomplishments
| Year | Accomplishment |
|---|---|
| 1997 | Comanagers installed temporary adult collection facilities in upper Grande Ronde River, Catherine Creek, and Lostine River and began collecting adult chinook. ODFW spawned and reared progeny of adults collected from Lostine River. |
| 1998 | Completed long-term management plan for Grande Ronde endemic spring chinook program and applied for modification of ESA Section 10 Permit No. 1011. Plan was developed cooperatively with NPT, CTUIR, and USFWS. |
| 1998 | Completed designs for new adult collection and juvenile acclimation facilities in upper Grande Ronde River, Catherine Creek, and Lostine River. Received approval to begin construction, secured landowner agreements, and will begin construction in winter. |
| 1998 | Comanagers operated temporary adult collection facilities in upper Grande Ronde River, Catherine Creek, and Lostine River. |
| 1998 | Completed a long-term management plan for research and enhancement of Imnaha River chinook and applied for new ESA Section 10 Permit. The plan was developed cooperatively with NPT and USFWS. |
| 1998 | Reviewed drafts of master plan documents prepared by or for NPT and provided comments to NPT. Wrote a captive broodstock alternative and submitted it to NPT for inclusion in Imnaha master plan. |

Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Recommendation: Do not fund. The proposal is not scientifically sound; it lacks adequate detail on rationale and methods.Comments: This proposal is from ODFW to participate in planning and implementation of NEOH, particularly for spring chinook and possibly steelhead, coho, and sockeye. It is stated that planning might also cover species other than chinook; this is disturbingly vague. It would be desirable to have an integrated master plan for all of the species to improve efficiencies and reduce overlap. This would seem to be a role of ODFW.
Although this proposal fits under the umbrella for spring chinook, conversion to endemic summer steelhead broodstocks represents a major component of the project. Monitoring includes assessment of the effects of the program on spawner distribution, survival, and behavior; contribution of hatchery adults to spawning; and progeny-to-parent ratios. Genetic and life-history characteristics of supplemented and non-supplemented populations in the basin and the hatchery will also be evaluated. Assessment of viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic agents will occur in natural spawning areas and hatcheries. Additionally, it appears that the proposers are introducing conventional "enhancement" production along with the openly proposed "supplementation."
The proposal has many weaknesses, failing to provide needed detail and justification for the project. The methods are only superficially described. The methods sections refer to documents that purportedly describe methodologies and justification for activities associated with the program, but details were entirely lacking so quality of the approach could not be assessed. Information on monitoring the project to evaluate its success was vague. What methods and criteria will be used to determine success or failure? The proposal has little detail on either monitoring and evaluation or "adaptive management". Monitoring components outlined in this proposal should be associated with milestones and summarized in previous accomplishments. The reviewers conclude that the proposal is of questionable benefit to fish.
The budget gives no defense of personnel requirements or capital costs. What will the 4 FTEs be doing? Capital costs "for facilities we expect will be needed" are not justified (the unexplained anticipated need does not provide rationale or justification for such expenditures). Additionally, the supplies budget is large and inadequately justified.

Fund in part. Fund the spring chinook Grande Ronde and Imnaha objectives, which involve some capital modifications to Lookingglass Hatchery. Do not fund the reintroduction efforts or efforts to use local endangered stocks to support harvest. See project 8805301.Comment:

(3). Northeast Oregon Hatcheries Planning And Implementation - ODFW, Project ID #8805305, FY00 CBFWA Rec. $226,000.Description/Background: ODFW's primary objective is to provide timely and effective input to NPT and CTUIR on development of Master Plans for Imnaha, Grande Ronde and Walla Walla Basins.
ISRP Review: Fund in part. Fund the spring chinook Grande Ronde and Imnaha objectives, which involve some capital modifications to Lookingglass Hatchery. Do not fund the reintroduction efforts or efforts to use local endangered stocks to support harvest. See project 8805301.
Discussion and Council Recommendations: Of the $226,000 CBFWA recommended funding level, approximately $45,000 is directly allocated to master plan development (Objective 1). Lookinglass improvements should not be funded prior to master plan development and approval. Please see recommendations for item (2)(above). The operations and maintenance portion of existing program should continue to receive sufficient funding in the interim.
