Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Recommendation: Delay funding until they demonstrate relation to fish and wildlife and include a clear statement of overall objectives of this project, the relationship of project objectives to overall basin restoration objectives, as well as timelines, and a rationale (prioritization via a watershed assessment) indicating why specific elements are being undertaken, and in what order. A comprehensive review, via a visiting committee, of all habitat restoration projects within the Clearwater basin is needed.Comments: This proposal is very similar to 9901400, by the same proposer. The focus is on the Nichols Canyon watershed, but the issues are indicated to be essentially identical to those identified for Little Canyon Creek – in fact, most sections of the two proposals are identical. Reviewers doubt that the issues in the two basins are the same. Comments made on 9901400 pertain – there does not appear to be any basis for the project in a prior watershed assessment, and an overall review of all of the habitat projects in the Clearwater needs to be undertaken before this assessment goes forward. This proposal should show a definite funding horizon (presumably not more than five years) and a set of milestones against which progress can be evaluated periodically
Comment:
Technically Sound? Yes

Comment:
Proposal is more complete than last year, but still lacks project implementation specifics.BMP efficacy is questionable in this watershed.
Proposal 9901400 and 9901500 are very similar in content.
Comment:
Fund. This is the companion to 9901400, and the response is identical. See also projects 9608600 and 9706000.Comment:
