Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
The rationale is good, and in general the action is known to be beneficial. However, the claims for potential benefit are not supported in the proposal through references or otherwise. The proposal specifically identifies the roads to be decommissioned. Cost share is good. The M&E effort seems ample, but the plans for it are not well described.Comment:
The proposal claims that it had been coordinated with the state and tribe, which it has not. This project also raises in-lieu questions.
