Reviews and recommendations

This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.

Recommendation:
Fund
Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Fund. OK for a multi-year review cycle.

Comments: The proposal is reasonably well documented and offers good cost- and facility-sharing provisions. The budget particularly seems focused on developing topographic and hydrological mapping.

Specific comments and questions that should also be addressed are: The proposal seems more in the form of a general narrative than an organized response to specific requirements. While technical and scientific background are complete, the rationale and significance to the region are not well described, nor is its relationship to other projects in the basin. Monitoring seems appropriate, but additional detail about techniques is invited.

Technically Sound? Yes

Comment:

It is unclear how this project relates to umbrella project 9705900.

Explain how this project fits into a watershed context.

Clearly explain the objectives and expected accomplishments.

Unclear where property is located and if it is already protected.

Good cost-share.

Complete proposal Section 10. Information/technology transfer.

This project could be an urban showcase but proximity to high population areas may lessen wildlife values.
