Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Recommendation:
Fund for one year

Comment:
Recommendation:
Fund for one year. Subsequent funding contingent on the authors addressing the concerns in the ISRP's comments.
Comments:
The proposal is well described, although references to various contractors and other generic entities identified should be spelled out to indicate who shall be responsible for each of eight objectives. Reviewers are uncomfortable with the present anonymity of contractors and subcontractors whose qualifications and competency are not known. What criteria are to be used in selecting them? The proposal contains conflicting wording on the identification of limiting factors (see Page 12 of Project No. 960700 and Page 14 of Project No. 20088). What difference is there in the analyses reported in Project No. 960700 and the work to be done in this proposal?

Comment:
A comprehensive definition of "Watershed Assessment" has not yet been developed by CBFWA, ISRP and NPPC. Lack an overall assessment of need in the basin. This is the kind of WSA that we are looking for. Wont overlap with coordination grant. #2-Will develop the assessment: Linked to other planning efforts. #5-Some shown but slight. #12-Has to consider other activities.
Recommendation:
Technically Sound? Yes

Aug 20, 1999
Comment:
Well written proposal.Proposal does demonstrate the need for a comprehensive watershed assessment but to create the assessment from existing data should not cost $155,000.
$14,000 to manage the subcontractor should be covered on the previous proposal 9607000.
Recommendation:
Fund
