Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Delay Funding
Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Delay funding until the sponsor provides evidence that the land is purchased. Review the proposal next year paying particular attention for adequacy of baseline fish and wildlife data, objectives, and methods.

Comments: The proposal is lacking in detail. Operation and maintenance activities could be better described, and details of other elements -- fencing, type and extent of fencing and evaluation of the most sensitive areas should be expanded.

Specific comments and questions that should also be addressed are: The authors should indicate what riparian improvements are anticipated, and over how large an area. Inadequate details are provided for improving riparian habitat or monitoring and assessment. Objectives and methodology should be address in greater specifics. Rather than to purchase the property outright, greater cost-effectiveness might result if the existing property owner were contracted to repair riparian habitat and adjust management practices.
