Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: Lack of funding will constrain project success. Model must be completed prior to completion of final stage of managemnt plan. M&E will not end, but be curtailled after appropriate m&E plan is identified in the management plan.

Comment:
Presentation: The Lake Roosevelt monitoring Program (goal: pre-assessment prior to hatchery construction) started in 1988 and merged with the Lake Roosevelt Data Collection Program (goal: collect data for the Corps System Operation Review) in 1994. Lake Roosevelt provides water, pass-through of flow augmentation from Montana, power, and irrigation. There are lots of “reservoir interests (users)”. Resident fish interests usually take a back seat. There is not much data on the reservoir and this project attempts to monitor the ecology of the lake. The project includes hydroacoustics, walleye population estimates, kokanee returns, hatchery release evaluations, net pen studies, water quality studies, phytoplankton studies, and bioenergetics models. Lake Roosevelt acts more like a big river than a lake and there is a large range in water retention times. Water is an appropriate species to manage in this lake.Questions/Answers:
What is the $780,000 in sub-contractors for? Answer: WDFW - $350,000 for a creel survey, hydoacoustics, and empirical sampling methods (trawling, netting ); Al Scholz -$100,000 for estimates of walleye populations and kokanee returns; Dr. Black - $100,000 for in situ (corral study) of zooplankton; Colville Tribe - $350,000-$500,000 for a net pen study, bathymetric maps, habitat survey and benthic studies; Spokane Tribe -$100,000 for water quality studies; ESU - $12,000 for phytoplankton and peripphyton studies; and WSU - $33,000 for primary productivity studies. We are still negotiating with the BOR about who should do the bathymetric work. We are having a problem getting the work done but money is not the issue. The bathymetric map overlays the habitat map.
Is there any cost-sharing? Answer: No, unless it comes from the BOR
Is this project totally up-and-running? Answer: Yes.
In FY 97 the co-managers decided on 17 month contract instead of a 12month contract. Budget increases in 1998 are for equipment purchase. In FY99 the higher funding level will cover sampling intensity. The budget will then tail off. We don't know yet how much we will have to do.
We are currently doing land-based creel surveys and it takes a lot of time to drive around the reservoir. This year we would like to see if boat-based creel surveys will provide better information. One limitation might be a loss of information.
The biological components for model and the SOR process narrow what you can actually control. Can you streamline the model and just use information since 1988? Answer: There are further complications – a fertilizer plant that previously dumped nutrients into the system is no longer there. The study has to continue. There is no agreement in the region on what Lake Roosevelt is for.
Screening Criteria: Yes
Technical Criteria: Yes
Programmatic Criteria: Yes
Constructive Criticism: The project could be completed for less money. Consider a stratified creel survey that doesn't have to be done once a year.

Lake Roosevelt Hatchery Proposals - Inadequate as a set
Jun 18, 1998
Comment:
This proposal is for monitoring and evaluation of the Lake Roosevelt fishery, which is a good idea and of clear programmatic value, but the proposed work is not tied to an adequate conceptual framework and modeling methods are not well enough described to evaluate. It is not clear how the data being gathered will be used in constructing, evaluating, or analyzing the proposed ecosystem model. The model should be described before gathering data, to help qualify the type of data that needs to be collected. This on-going project should report results-to-date, by which its scientific soundness and success could better be judged.NW Power and Conservation Council's FY 2006 Project Funding Review
