Technical Issue: Based on the proposal's text "model watershed plan will result from this program," explain if the plan will be completed in 1998?Technical Issue: Need to provide an explanation of new work in FY99 resulting from FY98 funding.
Comment:
Presentation: The objective of this coordination project is to promote grass roots participation in watershed restoration efforts. Currently the project focuses on two areas; 1) Dayton Creek which is an historic bull trout and cutthroat trout stream, and 2) Valley Creek which has a mixed species assemblage including bull, cutthroat, rainbow and brown trout. The WTWG asked two questions: 1) When will the watershed plan be completed? Answer: this is an ongoing project that will produce an umbrella document; 2) How does the proposed work in FY 99 build on FY 98? Answer: Habitat restoration is ongoing. This is a large basin and it will take more than one year to restore it. On-the ground activities are cost-shared and this project includes $20,000 for seed money. There are many cooperators.Questions/Answers:
Concern: the goals appear unrealistic, the coordinator has no authority. Answer: A lot of groups are involved and this is only one component of the overall Flathead system. There are three functional areas in the Flathead system: 1) the upper Flathead River; 2) Flathead Lake; and 3) the Lower Flathead River. The Flathead Basin Commission coordinates work in the upper Flathead (area 1), this projects coordinates with the Flathead Lake work (area 2) and conducts the work in the lower river (area 3) because it is on the Salish-Kootnenai Reservation.

Inadequate proposal, adequate purpose

Comment:
The watershed coordination is important, but the methods in this proposal are vague and there is no monitoring or basis for adaptive management. It would be very difficult to identify limiting factors solely on a literature review.NW Power and Conservation Council's FY 2006 Project Funding Review
