Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: Implementation of this project may be limited by the ability to secure funding from BPA. Delays may also arise from seasonal weather constraints. The ability to find willing landowners may also limit project expansion opportunities.

Comment:
Recommendation: Fund. OK for multi-year review cycle, with review in FY2003 for reporting of benefits to target species.Comments: This is an example of a good wildlife proposal. The methodology described is especially impressive. This is a well written, comprehensive proposal that warrants continued funding. Several FWP measures are identified, along with several other plans (e.g., Lake Creek Watershed Assessment; Albeni Falls Wildlife Protection, Mitigation, and Enhancement Plan). The work is Albeni Falls Dam mitigation, but also is related to Grand Coulee Dam mitigation. The project plan is given as consistent with the O&M guidelines of CBFWA wildlife managers. There are excellent background, rationale, objectives, and methods. The current work was preceded by thorough surveys. Costs are reasonable. Complete resumes were provided. Only unwanted side effects seems to have been left out of the discussion. The project seems a good candidate for multi-year funding.
This is a good project that is based on the watershed management concept for both fish and wildlife. There is good coordination between agencies, and outreach is included. There is a management strategy. The proposers need to be more specific about outputs and measurable milestones. There is good layout of methods for planning and land management. It is good to have desired outcomes specified. It is a good example of a systematic approach to acquisition and enhancement. It is well thought out, planned, and scientifically sound. It integrates very well wildlife conservation and restoration of native salmonid fishes as mitigation measures. The involvement of and linkage to many other projects, often being conducted by other agencies, in the drainage makes it part of a true watershed ecosystem approach to mitigation and conservation.
The set of three interrelated Coeur d'Alene Tribe proposals (including 9004400, 9004401, 9004402) might have benefited from an umbrella.

Comment:
These very small projects emphasize the economy involved in large-scale projects. It is more expensive to operate small projects.Comment:
