Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Do not fund - no response required
Date:
Jun 15, 2001

Comment:

Do not fund. No response is warranted. This is a token placeholder proposal. There should be an integration of effort at the state level for subbasin planning. An entity should be responsible for developing state priorities and report to and be funded by the Governor. The proposal did not give enough information to justify this position, although increased coordination would likely benefit the subbasin planning effort.

Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESU
Indirect effect since project would fund Oregon State Subbasin Planning Coordinator to represent state in NWPPC subbasin planning effort.

Comments
Project proposes to develop a recovery strategy based on Oregon Plan. Would prefer that they coordinate with the All-H and TRT strategy and products. Unclear how much authority coordinator would have when representing state recovery efforts.

Already ESA Req? no

Biop? yes


Recommendation:
Rank C
Date:
Oct 16, 2001

Comment:

This project provides a state coordinator to integrate subbasin planning with the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds. The extent to which BPA should support local and state infrastructure needs to be explored further; therefore, this proposal should be deferred.
