Recommendation:
Not Innovative

Comment:

This project is actually two proposals that are linked by an unfocused background statement. The proposed engineered rearing habitat is not innovative. It is a slightly modified version of spawning and rearing channels that have been used in the basin for many years, sometimes successfully, and sometimes not, depending on the location, design and operation. For instance, an effective spawning channel is currently used for chum salmon below Bonneville Dam. The proposed passage channel/conduit for downstream migration around dams is not an innovative idea, although it has not been tested. It has been proposed in different forms for many years but uniformly rejected as not feasible for the uses proposed. A more modest and focused proposal for a test of the passage channel might be appropriate if a suitable site were selected. The present proposal is not fundable.
