Comments:
This is the Nez Perce Tribe's portion of the Idaho supplementation study in Lolo, Eldorado, Newsome, Squaw, and Papoose creeks in the Clearwater Basin; and Slate Creek, Johnson Creek, Lake Creek, and the Secesh River in the Salmon River basin. The role of each stream is not described and readers are referred to the umbrella proposal (which explains the methods only at a general level). No progress is described to so no project assessment is possible, although the project (or its parent project) approaches ten years' duration. The project is basically the same as 8909800, and 8909801, except for facilities, budget, and personnel. Therefore it is unnecessary that the experimental design be reviewed as part of this proposal as it has already been developed and reviewed elsewhere.
