Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: Hydropower operations can necessitate time changes in rearing / planting schedules and have caused survival limitations on resident fish in Lake Roosevelt. Availability of native stocks limit the use of alternate brood sources and target stocks.
Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Recommendation: Fund for one year on the quality of the proposal. Subsequent funding contingent on inclusion of more emphasis on native biota. It would be more attractive for multi-year review cycle if consistent with regional goals by shifting to native species such as local stocks of kokanee, redband, or cutthroat. The proposed use of local stocks of redband should be expanded. As a set, the Roosevelt Lake hatchery proposals need to address and monitor potential impacts on native biota.Comments: The proposal is basically a fish production project for releasing fish into Lake Roosevelt as mitigation for Grand Coulee Dam, with an established monitoring program. Releasing kokanee salmon and rainbow trout into Lake Roosevelt as a mitigation tool has been accepted. In terms of providing a viable fisheries in Lake Roosevelt, monitoring suggests the project has been, and most likely will continue to be, successful.
This is a good proposal (much improved from last year), which warrants continued funding. The relevant FWP measures are identified, as well as the Upper Columbia Blocked Area Management Plan. The work is related to 8 existing projects and 3 proposed projects, which generally form a coordinated whole (but without an umbrella proposal). This is a companion hatchery for the Spokane Tribal Hatchery (the Spokane hatchery does initial incubation and this hatchery does rearing, with output often going to net pens funded in separate projects). Good accomplishments are listed in terms of an annual operating plan and annual production goals. There has been a good increase in fish catch in Lake Roosevelt as a result of this project. The budget is well detailed. There are good write-ups of methods and facilities. Multi-year funding might be appropriate. The proposal quality ranked in the midrange of proposals reviewed.
A drawback of this proposal is its strong reliance on non-native versus native populations as an egg source (see project 9104600, Spokane Tribal Hatchery). There are commendable efforts, albeit weak, to at least partially convert to the use of native fish. The proposal did not make clear why the objective of this work is not to restore natural native species for the fishery. The proposal also does not address the ecosystem interactions. M&E is done under another project. Despite its strong reliance on non-native fishes, the project was recommended for funding pending the artificial propagation review. The proposal for FY2001 should include more about native species and stocks.
