Comment:
Fundable. A-list. Time sensitive. See proposal #26007. This project is for one time lease of significant water rights for Trout Creek during the 2001 season. The proposal meets the criteria for funding under this solicitation. This project would help protect the steelhead production in a year of high spawning activity in a stream that has received considerable funding for habitat improvement in the past.
The proponent has considerable experience in obtaining and monitoring instream flow. The proposal was convincing that the work would be successful if approved before June 1, 2001. Before funding, assurance should be obtained that the project is still feasible. The ISRP does not understand all of the legal issues dealing with Oregon Water Law. Before funding, the proposal should be reviewed by legal staff.
