Reviews and recommendations

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

Recommendation:
Yes - C

Comment:

This is a marginally innovative proposal that would investigate hydraulic characteristics of wood debris in channels to determine longevity, and help in future design of habitat reconstruction efforts. Controlled experiments in Henry's Fork of the Snake River would endeavor to assess viability of alternative strategies. There is an abundance of information on this subject. No critical purpose would be served by inspecting the details of one structure as proposed here.
Recommendation:
Do Not Fund

Comment:

CBFWA recommends not funding this project due to the proposals inability to convince the resident fish managers of its value as an innovative project. Information not vital to habitat rehabilitation. (RFC)
