Reason for change in estimated budget
% Change did not take when entered zero ( Please Remove this remark)
The Spokane Tribe did not receive any funding for this in 2000, during the project review process our project did not meet the standards set forth and ranked lower than those which were funded.
Reason for change in scope
There is no or ever will be a change in scope from the perspective of the Spokane Tribe. Our mitigation is based on wildlife habitat and will continue to b so in the future. We are acquiring lands to mitigate for the losses caused to us by the construction and inundation caused by Grand Coulee Dam.
