Comment:
Technical Issue: Need more detail on the existing resource condition and critical limiting factors, measurable objectives, strategic actions and expected results, and the monitoring methods for determining if the expected results are being achieved and the process for modifying the project based on the monitoring results. Need to relate rearing habitat to spawning habitat.Technical Issue: Need to provide detailed information regarding how specific locations and projects are identified. Need to describe how the cost estimate was derived without a specific design.
Management Issue: Identify why the indirect costs are higher than personnel costs.

Comment:
This proposal needs much more detail; where will side channels be located and how will they remain unaffected by irrigation withdrawals. The conceptual foundation to reconstruct flood plains is good. The expected production of smolts may be optimistic. The budget should be scrutinized; specifically, indirect costs look high.
