Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Return to Sponsor for Revision*
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

Management Issue: Management flag – evaluate if this project duplicates other efforts (e.g., Forest Service, State GIS); and whether this work should be funded by other sources (if it's not already).

Technical Issue: Need to clearly describe the watershed benefits.

Technical Issue: Proposal needs significant modification to clearly describe how the techniques are valid and appropriate to achieve the objectives, and the specific fish and wildlife benefit.


Recommendation:
Not fundable
Date:
May 13, 1998

Comment:

Presentation: The project sponsor did not give a presentation.

Questions/Comments:

How is this project linked to the Council's Program ? It does not appear to address a measure.

Why is IDWR the sponsor when 2/3 of the project budget is contracted to IDFG?

Is this information on GIS?

How will transferring the attributes benefit resident fish?

Screening Criteria: No. The proposal doesn't address a specific Council Measure.

Technical Criteria: No. What are the direct benefits to fish?

Programmatic Criteria: No. The proposal didn't meet criterion 11.

General Comment: This appears to be a worthy project but the BPA Direct program/ Resident Fish Budget is the wrong funding source. This type of work should be done on a system/region basis.


Recommendation:
Do Not Fund

Recommendation:
Adequate
Date:
Jun 18, 1998

Comment:

This is an adequate proposal with good objectives and well-planned work. It ranked in the midrange of the set. This project could be useful, especially to compare water quality, but it is unclear how they are going to monitor the usefulness of this work. They should have a means to document who uses their product. It is not entirely clear why there is need for the scale change. No relationships to other projects are given. The text says it is a continuation of a previous project, but previous history and efforts are not well documented.
