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:
Technical Issue: Check accuracy of 500,000 PIT tags for $25,000.Management Issue: Specify what hatchery improvements are needed and explain why and how upgrades to the hatchery will help accomplish the goal of using the hatchery fish for natural production supplementation. Explain if other alternatives were considered, such as phasing out the hatchery.
Technical Issue: Clearly define the tangible objectives, including how the variety of tasks (e.g., develop watershed assessment, hatchery management plan for natural production supplementation, education) are tied together in coherent manner, including specific expected results and milestones, so that an assessment of their feasibility can be made.
Technical Issue: Need a plan that specifies how the expected results will be monitored to determine if the objectives are being achieved.
Technical Issue: Need more detail on the budget.
Recommendation:
Do Not Fund

Comment:
urgent. Proposed activities would not produce significant near-term survival improvement nor risk a lost opportunity within the next 1-3 years.Did not respond adequately to technical criteria. Proposal was either incomplete but did not provide adequate information to determine whether technical criteria were met, or was complete but did not meet technical criteria.
Questionable management value. Proposal was either incomplete but did not provide adequate information to determine whether management criteria were met or complete but did not meet critical management criteria.
Cost issues. Proposed budget and/or out-year costs were unknown or judged to be high in relation to the cost of similar projects or activities.
Recommendation:
Adequate

Comment:
This project is a test of the "normative" concept in a lower Columbia River tributary without a dam. The proposal is well presented, logical and particularly appealing as it has many different interfaces. It integrates various aspects of biology, ecology, and aquaculture. It includes links to higher education, high school and various interest groups from the local community. It has an outreach educational program designed to initiate long-term changes in rural community values coincident with the ecosystem restoration. However, the proposal lacks details of methods, current status, and monitoring and evaluation for objectives and tasks. The references cited are sound. The budget should be scrutinized for justification of publications and facilities improvement costs.
