Recommendation: Fund. Review next year.

Comments: Next year's proposal should address the following questions: What economies of scale could be achieved if these efforts were undertaken in a set of watersheds of this size? A description of the watershed that would give the reviewers an idea of its size should be supplied. Where is this work likely to lead? What is the biological priority of the watershed?

Aug 20, 1999

Comment:

This project addresses the need for a compilation of existing data in the subbasin. We recommend funding Objective 2 only, until a comprehensive definition of "Watershed Assessment" has been developed by CBFWA, ISRP and NPPC. Once this has been defined, the objectives for these watershed assessments will need to be revisited. This project also addresses an area where comprehensive documents do not currently exist.
Recommendation:
Technically Sound? Yes

Comment:

Costs appear to be high.

No mention of watershed size.

What information would lead the sponsor to believe this is a necessary project?
