Other budget explanation
Schedule Constraints: The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife requires instream construction work to be completed between July 15 and August 15 or 31 for John Day streams, depending on location. Permitting and compliance can require 3-4 months for completion.
Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
Recommendation: Delay funding until specific engineering plans and monitoring efforts are presented. (low priority)Comments: This proposal provides abundant background information on John Day Watershed projects, but should include details about proposals for future work. The methods section is particularly abbreviated and expressed in general terms. Quantification of past benefits should be spelled out more fully.
Specific comments and questions that should also be addressed are: Projects requiring BPA funds for operation and maintenance on private lands should be reviewed carefully. Preference should be given to new projects that demonstrate a commitment from private landowners to operate and maintain capital improvements. Each of six objectives is accompanied by a sub-set of objectives, but the intended methodology is described only briefly. The proposal includes a good description of relationships to other projects. The introduction and rationale are well written and comprehensive, but some quantification should be made for improvements in survival or environmental parameters as a result of altered water diversions or improved habitats. There is some redundancy of information in the presentation.
Collection of baseline data should be included as well as monitoring for trends in use by anadromous and resident fish in areas improved by this project. The claim is made that there will be extensive monitoring at each site, including fish species distribution, but more details should be provided on how this is to be accomplished. Effectiveness of this project might be monitored in cooperation with an expanded survey in Project No. 9801600.
The cost-sharing budget includes BPA grant monies, and may not be calculated correctly. Mortality of summer steelhead related to sport fishing is assumed to be negligible. The statement appears questionable. More data of past monitoring for temperature and flow should be provided to demonstrate biological and cost-effectiveness of these diversion and water use strategies. The proposal would benefit from expanded documentation to assure cost-effectiveness of each diversion project. Without explanation, the proposed budget is doubled from Fiscal 1999. Why?
Comment:
Comment:
ODFW has concerns with broad use of infiltration galleries. #5- Big cost share. In past c/s from locals and BOR, but not definitely arranged yet, but will likely occur. #6 Needs O & M, and commitments in place from landowners. #12-some risk of failure. Increase in cost reflects new habitat implementation opportunities. In order to meet other priorities in this region, funding has been reduced.Technically Sound? Yes

Comment:
Well written proposal that demonstrates the benefit of working with others.
What is the disposition of the saved water? Will it be protected as an in-stream water right? What is the direct hydrologic benefit and what guarantee is there that the next junior water-right holder will not use the water? What is the in-stream benefit in dry years?
Proposal does not tie project activities to direct biological benefits.
Unclear what the SWCD budget actually purchases.
Proposal exceeds the page limit.
Comment:
Fund. The responses clearly and adequately addressed the ISRP concerns. Moreover, it was refreshing to read responses to the original ISRP review which were complete, detailed, and not defensive.Comment:
