Section 3. Relationships to other projects

Project ID	Title	Description
9501500	Lake Billy Shaw Wetlands Catch and Release Fishery O&M	A new BPA funded reservoir was completed in 1998 on the DVIR -- the development of its fisheries needs to be integrated within a comprehensive fish management plan.
8815600	Stocking Fish in Lakes and streams on the DVIR	Stocking of hatchery trout in reservoirs and streams has been implemented for many years to provide fisheries and economic benefits to the DVIR — this program needs to be re-evaluated & integrated in the rationale of a comprehensive fish management plan.
9500600	Shoshone-Bannock-Shoshone-Paiute Joint Culture Facility	A BPA funded fish culture facility is being developed to provide trout production to supplement fisheries on the DVIR and Fort Hall. Its operation should be coordinated with the comprehensive Owyhee Basin resident fish management plan.
20536	Develop Management Plan & Assess Fish and Wildlife of the Owyhee Basin - DV

Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 99-2)

Recommendation:
Fund for one year

Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Fund for one year to allow the project sponsors to better refine their project. Future long-term funding contingent on addressing deficiencies.

Comments: This proposal has improved somewhat from last year, but still does not adequately address shortcomings that were identified in the previous review. The proposal includes the desirable objective of a watershed assessment, and protection of riparian habitats is critical for the persistence of native fishes. The proposed work is compatible with the Fish and Wildlife Plan. Most of the elements of this proposal would benefit from substantial elaboration. The authors need to develop quantifiable biologically measurable objectives, without which one cannot evaluate whether the work achieves its goals. More detail is needed on how sites will be evaluated and the standards for success.

Explain how these objectives are tied to overall objectives for trout restoration.

Quantify the objectives (e.g. number of miles to be surveyed, number of springs protected).

How will the assessment relate to the proposed plans.

Develop a plan to monitor and evaluate project implementation and accomplishments.

High personnel and related costs.

Explain how this project fits into a watershed context.
