Schedule Constraints: Possible constraints may include delays in securing: (1) conservation easements due to longer than anticipated negotiations with landowners, and (2) fill and removal permits due to a slow response time from regulatory agencies.
Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Recommendation: Fund in part at a reduced level. Review next year for reports of results and application of monitoring.Comments: This is not a stand-alone proposal. It can only be evaluated in the context of the Umatilla Subbasin program. The proposal provides a substantial list of data to be collected, but there is no mention of analysis or interpretation of the data. Who will be responsible for analysis? It is not clear from the list of monitoring activities that the needed knowledge will be obtained. What information is needed? For example, the reviewers were not able to discern the value of macroinvertebrate sampling. How will that information be used to relate to the subbasin goals? Response variables need to correspond with the objectives. If the objective is to produce more smolts, this project needs to be closely coordinated with the natural production studies.
Comment:
Comment:
Reduce Objective 1. Reducing personnel time. Costs reduced as a result of improved efficiencies. General reduction in the scope of the project.Technically Sound? Yes

Comment:
Fund existing operations. See programmatic recommendation for Umatilla and Walla Walla under project 8903500. Justification for the work as provided in the response seems reasonable. Cost/ mile may be high, but perhaps that is what it takes. The reviewers are now persuaded that watershed assessment and habitat rehabilitation work in the basin is coordinated.Comment:
