| Province / Subbasin | Mountain Snake / Salmon |
| Short description | The goal is to balance resource protection and land use practices to provide barrier free passage for adult and juvenile fishes, and increase subbasin connectivity by returning surplus irrigation water to tributaries and mainstem systems. |

Relevant RPAs based on NMFS/BPA review:
| Reviewing agency | Action # | BiOp Agency | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| NMFS/BPA | Action 149 | NMFS | BOR shall initiate programs in three priority subbasins (identified in the Basinwide Recovery Strategy) per year over 5 years, in coordination with NMFS, FWS, the states and others, to address all flow, passage, and screening problems in each subbasin over 10 years. The Corps shall implement demonstration projects to improve habitat in subbasins where water-diversion-related problems could cause take of listed species. Under the NWPPC program, BPA addresses passage, screening, and flow problems, where they are not the responsibility of others. BPA expects to expand on these measures in coordination with the NWPPC process to complement BOR actions described in the action above. |

Reason for change in estimated budget
In an effort to take a more holistic approach The Model Watershed Project, in response to NPPC and ISRP evaluation, plans to expand the MWP boundaries from three watersheds to the entire Upper Salmon subbasin. In response to ISRP's comments, site specific restoration plans give the guidance in restoring physical processes for fish migration habitat restoration.
Reason for change in scope
Model Watershed boundaries enlarged to include Salmon subbasin from headwaters to mouth of the Middle Fork Salmon River

Comment:
In an effort to take a more holistic approach, the Model Watershed Project, in response to NWPPC and ISRP evaluation, plans to expand the MWP boundaries from three watersheds to the entire Upper Salmon Subbasin. In response to ISRP's comments, site specific restoration plans give the guidance in restoring physical processes for fish migration habitat restoration. The budget increase is mostly due to an increase in construction costs and some additional planning efforts. Also, monitoring and evaluation will be stepped up.The increase in scope is because the Model Watershed boundaries have enlarged to include Salmon Subbasin from its headwaters to the mouth of the Middle Fork Salmon River.
Comment:
Rationale: Budget increase inappropriate in this review. Project has $50,000 remaining uncontracted from FY 2000.Comment:
