Schedule Constraints: Any schedule slippage would likely occur under the implementation objective and be the result of misdiagnosis of limiting factors

Comment:
Presentation: This is a resident fish substitution project that addresses Council measure 10.8B19. In June of 1997 it was partially funded for FY 98. 1999 will be the second year of the study. If the project is fully funded for FY 98 (there is a request pending) then we can reduce the 99 budget slightly. The objective is to restore fisheries in Moses Lake to provide recreational opportunities. The study will occur in phases: 1) define the limiting factors; 2) identify implementation measures; and 3) implement restoration measures.Questions/Answers:
What is the tie to the hydrosystem. Answer: This is off-site mitigation and substitution for the loss of anadromous fish above Chief Joseph Dam.
Are the goals realistic? Answer: In the 1970's this was the premier fishery in the basin.
For shoreline spawning fish, are low lake levels in the spring a problem? Answer: This is probably not a limiting factor. Does the lake fluctuate much? Not more that a few feet.
Is WDFW sharing any of the cost? Answer: Yes. Sport groups also contribute.
What species of trout will you manage for? Answer: We will try to balance warm water fish and trout and will identify the species that is best suited - probably rainbow.
Screening Criteria: Yes
Technical Criteria: Yes
Programmatic Criteria: Yes
General Comment: Because it is “off-site” and deals with non-native species, this project should be a lower priority than “on-site” substitution projects. Pending the outcome of the Council's current deliberation on FY 98 funding, there could be an opportunity to reduce the FY 99 budget.
Comment:
Comment:
This is a poorly written proposal that lacks adequate scientific justification of project goals and methods. The proposal is for a highly managed non-native harvest fishery and the choice of fish stocks is not biologically justified. The proposal does not adequately ensure that the proposers have sufficient understanding of the reasons for fisheries decline in Moses Lake to restore the fishery. The experimental design is not clearly presented or justified, and the proposal does not adequately describe the methods to be used for some very complicated actions. Additionally, the effects of angling are not well described.NW Power and Conservation Council's FY 2006 Project Funding Review
