Reason for change in estimated budget
Initially, the project sponsor expected to proceed immediately with restoration work in FY 2001. After additional evaluation, the project was determined to be more effective by using time in FY 2001 to thoroughly plan and design the work. This should result in better planning efforts and more effective implementation of restoration work.
Reason for change in scope
The scope of work has not changed, just an extension of the time frame to complete the project. Additional time for planning and designing restoration work should facilitate improved efficiency and better results from the work.
