Reviews and recommendations

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

REVIEW:
ISRP Preliminary Review (ISRP 99-2)

Recommendation:
Fund for one year

Date:
Jun 15, 1999

Comment:

Recommendation: Fund for one year. Subsequent funding contingent on correcting the noted deficiencies.

Comments: This was a well written and convincing proposal. The program appears to have many strengths, including broad scale interagency support, participation, and active monitoring and assessment. It also has several significant weaknesses. The proposal could have been improved by providing more scientific citations and documentation. The programmatic needs and goals could have been supported by citations supporting the decline in populations abundance, changes in the watershed, or the watershed assessment. The methods section contained good general descriptions, but could have been supported by scientific references to show that these were based on the best available scientific techniques.

CBFWA: Subregional Team Comments

Recommendation:

Date:
Aug 20, 1999

Comment:

Project budget appears high in personnel costs. Due to the nature of the demonstration project and continued support, we would like to follow through with our commitment to complete the restoration project. We expect to see allocation of technical staff time reduced in future years. There should be funding available through CREP for riparian restoration.

REVIEW:
CBFWA: Watershed Technical Group Comments

Recommendation:
Technically Sound? No

Date:
Aug 20, 1999

Comment:

No evidence that past activities have met any biological objectives.

Monitoring and assessment plans do not provide enough detail. How will the sponsor assess surface/groundwater connections?

Tasks presented in the Methods section are redundant.

What land will be purchased and why?

What will happen to the money allocated for capital acquisitions if no land is purchased?
