Comment:
Fundable. This is a straight-forward proposal for one-time funding to acquire 640 A bordered on three sides by the Wildlife Area. The acquisition of this property would complement the work proposed in project 199106100. Specifically, the project is tied to protection and restoration of sharp-tailed grouse. These activities are related to a number of regional programs. Cost of about $500/A seems reasonable. This proposal looks fundable with a medium priority, comparable in priority to new YN land acquisition proposals.
Comment:
* Identified by the CBFWA as a proposal that could potentially be implemented as High Priority projects pending crediting resolution with BPA and NWPPC. The CBFWA will formally request a policy level meeting to resolve this issue.Comment:
