Comments:
This umbrella proposal describes Oregon wildlife mitigation activities related to coordination and planning between Oregon wildlife managers and the implementation of wildlife proposals. It contains a general description of the approach to mitigate for Habitat Units (HUs) lost as a result of the construction and operation of the Columbia Basin hydropower system. Oregon acquires wildlife mitigation sites according to prioritized list contained in the "Brown Book". The proposal contains a thorough description of the history of the Oregon Trust Agreement Planning Project and its enhancement through the addition of GAP analysis for the selection of particular sites. A complete history of Bonneville Power's wildlife mitigation efforts under the Northwest Power Act is also included. Criteria used to rank sites are listed. The Oregon Wildlife umbrella and subproposals are, in general, a good example of the umbrella concept.
The participating agencies and tribes should contribute funding for personnel to do the work.
The GAP analysis seems to be biased toward rare and endangered habitats thereby creating small isolated mitigation areas.
