Itemized budget

Item	Note	FY 2002 cost
Personnel	FTE: 4.4	$177,620
Fringe	35%	$62,167
Supplies	Includes major overhaul of screens and purchase of metal building security & library	$92,000
Travel		$32,300
Indirect	15%	$57,225
Capital	Begin vehicle replacement rotation of one every four years.	$28,000
Subcontractor	West Extension ID subcontracts and participates in all project tasks. WEID costs are included above	$0
Other	Insurance, Equip Rental, Contract Services, Gravel Removal	$49,200
		$498,512

Total estimated budget

Total FY 2002 cost	$498,512
Amount anticipated from previously committed BPA funds	$0
Total FY 2002 budget request	$498,512
FY 2002 forecast from 2001	$445,411
% change from forecast	11.9%

Reason for change in estimated budget

1)Begin vehicle replacement four-year cycle; current fleet of four vehicles were all purchased in 1998 and are accumilating high mileage. Implementing a cycle of purchasing one vehicle per year and replacing after four years of service will eliminate periodic large budget requests for vehicle replacement. 2) Employee compensation increase of 3%; updated management and bookkeeper costs.

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 2001-6)

Recommendation:
Fundable - no response required

Date:
Jun 15, 2001

Comment:

Fundable. The site visits and presentations clearly indicated that benefits are accruing from these efforts. The additional benefits of enumeration facilities at some sites (e.g., resistivity counters for adult migrants) might be considered. Improvements elsewhere (e.g., flow increases due to habitat works) may lead to some reductions in items such as fish hauling, thus cost saving. Includes operation of the fish pump at Three Mile Dam, which is a tool that needs to be explored for future research on wild/hatchery interactions. Several rotating drums are utilized for fish screening - perhaps horizontal screens would be better suited for some areas. The evidence of a large component of strays (Deschutes?) should be a major concern. Coordination with the monitoring and evaluation projects (Hatchery and Natural Production) on this subject is essential.

Statement of Potential Biological Benefit to ESU
Increase abundance/survival by providing access to habitat and improving passage survival of juvenile and adult salmon and steelhead; provide broodstock collection facilities for steelhead program designed to boost native population; acclimation facilities to improve homing / reduce straying of hatchery production

Comments
Passage element of project is necessary for maintaining anadromous fish access to much of the Umatilla River. Acclimation sites necessary to reduce straying into Snake River. Part of an over-all program that provides major fishery benefits.

Already ESA Req? NO

Biop? NO

REVIEW:
BPA Funding Recommendation

Recommendation:
Rank A

Date:
Oct 16, 2001

Comment:

As stated above, the costs for satellite facility maintenance may appear excessive given the CTUIR's O&M project costs. The project includes no cost sharing by the irrigation districts or the BOR. BPA will pursue cost sharing; otherwise cumulative passage costs throughout the Columbia River Basin will be excessive and restrict our ability to meet ESA and F&W Program responsibilities.
