Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Recommendation: Fund with high priority. The project is also recommended for two years funding with comprehensive review before expenditure of $3 million in FY2002.Comments: This is a complex and comprehensive program whose objectives and tasks are clearly spelled out. The proposal offers a commendable background review and rationale that is in many ways better than the umbrella proposal. It is very well integrated with other activities in the Willamette Basin. To its credit, the proposal incorporates recent thinking in restoration ecology, including conservation biology and landscape ecology, with some emphasis on passive restoration.
Specific questions and comments that should also be addressed are: The proposed budget (of $3 million) represents a somewhat abrupt increase from previous funding levels. So large and complex is this proposal that it does not provide adequate detail on site-specific efforts. It does, however, offer explicit discussion of project compliance with principles listed in FWP Section 11.2D.1. Despite reference to the umbrella project in several places, Section 8 is significantly longer than the 10-page limit. One presumes that this is due in part to the five separate projects contained under this heading (although given that combination, one questions why Burlington Bottoms is treated separately).
Wildlife habitat work appears to have been thoroughly reviewed and prioritized under the OWC Coalition, with OTAP and GAP analysis. It would be of value to know what previous investments have been made in survey and an development for each of the project areas, with some critical assessment of progress in those efforts: in effect, an accounting of what has been accomplished and how near completion the work may be, perhaps in tabular form. Standard wildlife and fisheries monitoring surveys should be employed for establishment of baseline use and trend of use.

Technically Sound? Yes

Comment:
Good proposal, well written, with identifiable objectives, tasks, and cost sharing.Very expensive, but realize the limited opportunities and high cost of land in the area.
Proposal exceeds the page limit.
