Fish and Wildlife enforcement projects in FY 1999 and FY 2000 were delayed or unfunded as per pending NPPC action. This project was not funded during the Councils' 1999 "decision period". Recent decisions by the Council have resulted in continuation of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement projects. This project previously projected FY 2001 funding needs based on 3 FTE. Since that time, 1 FTE has been secured through non-BPA cost share sources. The current proposed budget has decreased due to a reduced need for only 2 FTE.
Scope same as that in years previously funded.
