Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: The project is dependent on the transfers of yearling and subyearling fall chinook from Lyons Ferry Hatchery. If egg collection or juvenile survival in the hatchery reduces yearlings below 900,000, one or more of the acclimation fac. may be impacted.
Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Fund for one year
Date:
Jun 15, 1999
Comment:
Recommendation:
Fund for one year. Subsequent funding contingent on a comprehensive review of all supplementation efforts in the Lower Snake River.
Comments:
This is an expensive (almost $700k) project for supplementation of the natural population of fall chinook upstream of Lower Granite Dam, using Lyons Ferry Hatchery stock. The proposal is basically for facility operating costs (apparently mostly salaries, USACOE having paid the facilities cost). This is an ongoing project (initiated 1996), which is projected to continue indefinitely, with steadily increasing costs. A major concern of the panel is whether supplementation efforts in the Lower Snake River are viable in the long run. Given past performance, the panel was skeptical about the likely success of such efforts. How is the problem of possible negative effects on wild fish being resolved? What are the ecosystems risks resulting from the project?
