Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: Possible schedule constraints include: delays in obtaining necessary permits; delays in scheduling maintenance/enhancement work due to unavailability of field crews; and no access to a particular area during high water events.
Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Recommendation: Fund with high priority. The project is also recommended for a multi-year review cycle with comprehensive review for results in 5 years.Comments: A very good proposal, well justified and with clear relationships to other projects in the Willamette Basin. The reviewers particularly commend its inclusion of wildlife surveys to document and monitor site use by fish and wildlife, and for plant surveys that demonstrate that exotics diminish and native plant species flourish when water levels more closely resemble historic levels. The budget is adequately justified, notably the need for an increase over previous estimates, in order to construct a water-control structure.
Specific questions and comments that should also be addressed are: A small table of data would be helpful in the section relating to plant surveys and the effects of maintaining historic water levels. Similarly, a table of data showing results of wildlife surveys also would be a welcome contribution. Discussion of the value of the site to fish species could be expanded and improved. Reviewers express some concern that removal of non-native species may require annual funding in perpetuity.
Project history is well presented, but little is said about the results of surveys. Were expectations for habitat modifications met? Were there errors that led to 'adaptive management,' and if so, what modifications resulted to be applied to future work? The design of the proposed water control structure is unclear. Might it pose an obstruction to fish passage? What are the five wildlife species that are the targets of enhancement activities discussed in Objective No. 2 (Page 17)? How will water levels and flow be monitored under Objective No. 3a (Page 18), and with what frequency?
Comment:
Technically Sound? Yes

Comment:
Explain how this project fits into a watershed context.High expense for the benefit gained.
Proximity to high population areas may lessen wildlife values.
