Section 2. Past accomplishments
| Year | Accomplishment |
|---|---|
| 1989 | Reclamation of 2.5 km of floodplain in Bear Valley Creek eliminated a substantial source of fine sediment into the remaining 50 km of stream and the Middle Fork Salmon River. |
| 1988 | Successful interconnection of four series of remnant dredge ponds with the mainstem Yankee Fork Salmon River, creating over 1.5 ha of additional rearing habitat for anadromous salmonids. |
| 1991 | Successful modification of a debris jam and removal of an abandoned dam has allowed access to an additional 3.2 km of spawning habitat and 7.7 km of rearing habitat for anadromous salmonids and bull trout. |
| 1992 | Fencing constructed on Herd Creek to discourage livestock use of streambank and riparian areas, thus improving streambank stability and reducing sediment input into the stream. |
| 1994 | Vertical banks in a cutoff channel in Big Boulder Creek were sloped, the stream was diverted away from high cutbanks, returned to a more natural meander pattern within 0.5 km of affected floodplain, eliminating the cutoff channel of BBC as a sediment sou. |

Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: Some target changes for this project are dependent upon uncontrollable factors such as snow pack and run-off, which can substantially affect stream characteristics. Out-of-basin survival currently limits recovery efforts, the ultimate goal of the project.
Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Recommendation: Fund (medium priority)Comments: This proposal focuses on monitoring and evaluation of results of previously completed "enhancement" work. This is appropriate, but there is no indication whether before-project habitat and fish data exist as a comparison. Proposed methods seem reasonable and standardized. There is to be little or no active collaboration with others, apparently, although there is mention of working cooperatively. Alternative approaches and unwanted side-effects are inadequately addressed.

Comment:
Considerable concern about whether this long-term project has improved fish production and survival. No information is presented in Section 4 (Objectives, Costs, Schedules) about biological objectives and milestones.Overhead rate (68%) seems high.
It is not clear how the tasks will achieve the stated objectives.
Reports to BPA should be referenced.
