Comments:
Some proposals appear to be advanced more from an institutional desire to be engaged in the decision making process than to meet a technical need. Decisions on funding therefore become policy matters. The ISRP can evaluate the technical adequacy of proposals, but the council needs to determine whether there are policy elements involved. This proposal seems motivated by an agency's wish to participate in a planning process where it has a legitimate and commendable role to play from a policy standpoint. From a purely technical standpoint, this proposal would probably add a different perspective on the evaluation of need for hatcheries on the Walla Walla River. We also note that CBFWA itself proposes a general reduction in the intended scope of the project.
Programmatic Criteria 2: Met? NA - Coordination is needed but is it appropriate to fund state management input in the F&W Program?
