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:
Mar 1, 2002

Comment:

Not fundable. The proposal does not provide details on objectives, tasks and methods. The presentation provided some information on monitoring but the monitoring tasks should have been described in the proposal. The benefits to fish and wildlife appear marginal and are not justified in the proposal. The baseline conditions are not established. The impacts on existing species are not adequately described.
Recommendation:
Do Not Fund

Comment:

CBFWA supports this project for it's benefits to fish; however, CBFWA does not support Bonneville funding for this action. Although Bonneville has funded culvert replacement within the basin, this project is completely within the management jurisdiction

Recommendation:
D

Comment:

Project may be more appropriately addressed by ODFW and the City of Portland under section 4D of the ESA and to address urban planning issues raised in the proposal. We also note that these stocks are not directly affected by FCRPS actions.
