Comment:

Technical Issue: Clearly describe how the objectives in FY99 differ from FY98.

Technical Issue: Explain how the staffing level is not excessive to achieve the objectives.

Technical Issue: Too similar to the original FY98 proposal – need to provide the additional information that was provided in FY98, plus an explanation of new work in FY99 resulting from FY98 funding.

Comment:

This is a well-written proposal--good balance of concepts and details. The proposal describes a well-planned project, with significant progress already. The watershed-scale conceptual foundation is excellent. It is well integrated with other projects. Minor criticisms include a failure to give details on the personnel. The technical background could be described better.
