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 completion of the detailed restoration plan identified in the proposal.
Comments:
The scope of this project fits well into the objectives of the program, is quite straightforward, and even small in scale. This proposal does a good job of getting landowner participation and the emphasis on passive restoration looks good. However, the restoration efforts have not been preceded by an adequate watershed assessment, nor is there sufficient indication of biological evaluation of project success, e.g., survival of replanted riparian vegetation. A comprehensive assessment should take place before further activities are undertaken. After which the sponsors should be able to answer how and why areas were chosen for fencing/restoration, what percentage of the entire stretch is affected, how will monitoring occur, and how will success be defined/quantified? Further, both the objectives and methods are vague and insufficiently described. Project coordination may necessarily be that way, but the other 2 objectives and methods need more detail. The completion date is listed as FY 2002; funding, albeit at lower levels, goes through 2004.
