Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: Accurately estimating winter steelhead smolt production in FY 2000 will be dependent on environmental conditions. The Fifteenmile Creek subbasin is subject to extreme flow fluctuations which can effect sampling.
Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Fund (high priority).

Comment:
Recommendation:
Fund (high priority). OK for multi-year funding; review on an annual basis for progress towards meeting objectives.
Comments:
This was a well written, reasonable proposal, which addressed an important issue in Fifteenmile Creek (tracking wild winter steelhead smolt production). The technical aspects seemed well covered. The relationship to the rest of the program was clear, as was the importance and value of this ongoing project. Information obtained from continued funding will be quite valuable. Objectives were clear and quite substantive. Activities planned would address them well and seem highly feasible. The narrative was very well written and showed how effort and personnel would be shared among agencies and projects. There was an honest assessment explaining how weather conditions could impair some components of the project, indicating a clear grasp of the real level of feasibility. However, it is not clear from the proposal why there is a reason that mean fork length, weight, and condition are being collected. What will be done differently if these numbers are high or low? What will be done with the results? How long must these data be collected? What is the programmatic value of the information gained? What will it tell us? No project completion date was given.
