This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comments:
This umbrella proposal was inadequate. It provides a short description of the Yakima Basin and some of the fishery problems existing there but no documentation or references. Many sections of the proposal are incomplete or not addressed. These include lists of critically dependent projects, past accomplishments, schedule constraints, completion dates, and budgets. The proposal does list the relationship of these projects to others in the basin in addressing these needs. Objective 1 seeks to restore "ecosystem integrity/function throughout all life history phases by implementing a "normative" or historical river ecosystem as an overall goal." Yet the only task under this objective involves increased enforcement and public awareness. Public awareness seems only a small part of what is needed to fulfill Objective 1.
It is unclear how all the actions to define limiting factors and make habitat improvements can be defined if a watershed assessment (e.g., Project #20118) has not been completed. The relationship among habitat work, planning, and production facilities under this umbrella to habitat projects in the Yakima Subbasin Habitat/Watershed Project Umbrella (#20547) is unclear. Are these various projects related or were they developed independently? Assuming they are coordinated at the subbasin level, how were priorities chosen? How will results from separate projects be integrated? How will effectiveness be monitored? This is not an adequate umbrella document. It is primarily a list of activities. The umbrella gives no clear description of the rationale, technical approach, or integration and sequencing of projects.
