Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Comment:
Recommendation: This project should not be funded from the anadromous fish budget because it is not an ongoing project, nor from the wildlife budget because the Washington Lower Columbia dams wildlife losses have been mitigated.Background: This project was submitted and processed as a wildlife project. The Wildlife Committee did not budget FY01 funds for this project because of a crediting issue. The Washington portion of the wildlife losses for the Lower Columbia Dams have been mitigated for. CBFWA subsequently moved this project into the Anadromous Fish category commenting that it is a wildlife project with important benefits to fish. MMG agreed to fund from anadromous budget if not credited toward wildlife mitigation.
BPA comments: That position is inconsistent with BPA policy of receiving wildlife credit for permanent protection of habitat using anadromous budget. Please refer to our earlier comments on wildlife crediting.
