| Short description | The proposed project will develop the Human Effects Sub-Basin Analysis Model (HESAM), a socioeconomic analysis tool that planners can use to help evaluate economic and other human effects when considering fish and wildlife projects in the Pacific Northwes |
| Target species | The Council can use the model generated by this project to analyze human effects of strategies directed at any one or all species of concern. |

Comment:
This proposal describes an extension of modeling work already done by CH2M HILL under contract to the Council's Human Effects Working Group under the Council's framework process. It was viewed as only marginally innovative, proposing to extend the human effects model to the subbasin level so that it can be used as a decision tool. The modeling approach will draw heavily on techniques used by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to develop the Fire Effects Tradeoff Model (FETM). The sponsors are currently involved in development for the FETM and state that it is very similar in concept to the HESAM model proposed for this project. A model analyzing costs associated with various subbasin restoration strategies would be a useful planning tool for assessing alternative approaches on the basis of cost-effectiveness. The scope of the project is large and includes good evaluative review and feedback during model development. A major question concerns the availability of cost data at the subbasin level and the usefulness of the model under various missing data scenarios. The proposal does not describe what work would have to be done - upon completion of the first modeling stage - to develop subbasin models that could be used by FWP decision-makers.Comment:
CBFWA recommends not funding this project due to the proposals inability to convince the resident fish managers of its value as an innovative project. Agree with ISRP comments. (AFC) Continued cost analyses will not improve fish survival but instead continue to fuel politically motivated debate. (RFC)Comment:
