Comment:
Not fundable. Given the myriad of land use problems in the Tualatin River, the sponsors have not adequately demonstrated that deposition of fines in the streambeds of tributaries to the Tualatin is a significant factor limiting egg to fry survival for salmonids.Comment:
Reviewers question whether fixing gravel roads is a BPA responsibility.Comment:

Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESUPotential improvement to spawning/rearing habitat and survival by reducing fine sediment
Comments
Substantial problem. Development of methodology and M&E to determine effectiveness can be used elsewhere. Is deposition of fines in the streambeds of tributaries to the Tualatin a significant factor limiting egg to fry survival for salmonids?
Already ESA Req? No
Biop? No
Comment:
Concur with ISRP technical comments. Fugitive dust reduction is an air and water quality issue typically managed by states. This project addresses a recurring problem throughout the Basin, and is not the responsibility of the FCRPS.Comment:
