1) Determine numbers and selected life history patterns of downstream migrant winter steelhead smolts migrating from the Fifteenmile Creek subbasin. a. Estimate numbers of wild winter steelhead smolts migrating out of the Fifteenmile Creek subbasin with a mark and recapture program operated at a downstream migrant trapping facility located at River Mile (RM) 0.5 in the mainstem of Fifteenmile Creek. 6 $24,473
1) b. Estimate the relative abundance of other downstream migrant salmonids (i.e., primarily spring chinook salmon and cutthroat trout) and lamprey ammocoetes collected at a downstream migrant trap (see Task a). 6 $100
1) c. Estimate age structure of downstream migrant wild rainbow-steelhead. 6 $2,200
1) d. Estimate temporal distribution of downstream migrant wild winter steelhead smolts in the Fifteenmile Creek subbasin. 6 $100
1) e. Estimate selected morphometric characteristics of downstream migrant wild winter steelhead; including mean fork length (mm) and condition factor. 6 $100
1) f. Estimate selected morphometric characteristics of other downstream migrant salmonids (i.e., primarily spring chinook salmon and cutthroat trout) sampled at the migrant trap; including mean fork length (m) and condition factor. 6 $100
1) g. Prepare an annual report summarizing biological data collected in FY 2000 (i.e., each FY's annual report will be prepared in the following Fiscal Year). 6 $1,500
1) h. Coordinate with other inter- and intra- agency activities which effect the ODFW's (i.e., M&E) component of the HRPP. 6 $4,731
1) i. Continue activities required for project administration including: preparation of sampling plans, inventory reports, and SOW's; maintenance of financial records, purchasing of supplies; maintenance of field equipment, and budget tracking. 6 $400

% change from forecast18.3%
Reason for change in estimated budget

The budget was higher than the FY 2000 forecast because we are requesting dollars to purchase a downstream migrant trap. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has allowed us to use one of their surplus traps in past FY's but this trap will not be available for use, by this project, in FY 2001.

Reason for change in scope

There are no changes planned in the scope of this project for FY 2001.

Comment:

The budget was higher than the FY 2000 forecast because they are requesting dollars to purchase a downstream migrant trap. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has allowed the project sponsors to use one of their surplus traps in past fiscal years, but this trap will not be available for use, by this project, in FY 2001. This is a one time purchase that was identified in the FY 2000 proposal. There is no change in scope of work.

Comment:

Rationale: Budget increase inappropriate in this review. Check project status - still has FY 2000 balance uncontracted

Do Not Fund
