| FY 2002 forecast from 2001 | $560,000 |
| % change from forecast | 185.7% |
Reason for change in estimated budget
The FY 2002 project cost has risen due to an urgent, but one time only, need to secure a permanent freshwater captive broodstock rearing facility located near the NMFS marine broodstock culture facility in Manchester, Washington. The remainder of the cost increase is due to smolt rearing at ODFW's Bonneville Hatchery, coded wire and PIT tagging smolts, and the ever present inflation.
Reason for change in scope
The new task (2) under objective 1 is to secure a freshwater captive broodstock facility near the marine captive broodstock facilitiy to ensure the continued propogation of ESA-listed Redfish Lake Sockeye Salmon. The new objective (3) is to determine the best release stratergy for ESA-listed captive broodstock to ensure the most efficient restoration of this anadromous Snake River Sockeye Salmon run.

Comment:
Not applicable. Scientific issues are not central to the decision. This is the NMFS captive rearing program in support of the Stanley Basin sockeye salmon program. The need for this project is integrally linked to that program. Part of the request is to purchase a freshwater hatchery that is presently leased, near Manchester, WA, to support the program. The expectation on behalf of project sponsors is that they will need this facility for the sockeye program during the next decade. Sponsors feel that the property owner can cancel the present leasing arrangement at any time, thus jeopardizing the programComment:
This project is considered a BASE project by NMFS since it contributed to the baseline survival of sockeye salmon during the generation of the Biological Opinion. The NMFS is currently under a lease that has contract language that allows for the lease to be terminated with a 90 day notice, language that subsequently gives the owner flexibility for purposes of selling the property. Presently, the owner of the property is actively marketing the property as "for sale." The property, which has been identified as desirable for development, is located in Kitsap County, one of the fastest growing counties in the Washington. The NMFS conducted a survey of other existing facilities throughout western Washington and identified this site as the most acceptable based on issues such as water availability, water quality, etc. The market analysis by NMFS indicated that the property is worth $850,000 for a lease purpose. Presently, there are no other hatcheries that could provide the facilities required to raise this particular group of fish.Comment:

Comments
This is the NMFS portion of the very important sockeye safety-net. See comments for Project No. 199107200.

Biop? Yes
Comment:
Recommend as critical to implement RPAs 175 and 177. This project is part of the ongoing artificial propagation safety-net program intended to prevent extinction of Snake River (SR) sockeye salmon. BPA may explore options with the project sponsor for securing this facility for the length of the project. BPA RPA RPM:

Comment:
Fund to implement RPA 177. Project sponsor indicated an urgent need to secure a permanent facility. BPA will explore purchase of this facility and other facility options to continue to meet the RPA obligations of this project.Comment:
