REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 99-2)

Recommendation:
Fund

Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Fund.

Comments: This proposal needs to be evaluated in the context of an umbrella plan for the Walla Walla and Touchet Rivers. This appears to be a good project that seems to be reasonably well coordinated with others. It should be reviewed further in the context of the subbasin plan for the Walla Walla and Touchet rivers.
