Total estimated budget

Total FY 2001 cost	$1,851,000
Amount anticipated from previously committed BPA funds	$0
Total FY 2001 budget request	$1,851,000
FY 2001 forecast from 2000	$250,000
% change from forecast	640.4%

Reason for change in estimated budget

The two primary reasons for the large increase over the FY2000 budget forecast are; 1) cost inflation for construction of currently implemented projects have resulted in budget shortages for previously identified projects and 2) additional projects identified for passage improvement since the original list was developed prior to ESA listings in the basin. Since ESA listings of summer steelhead and bull trout, additional projects have been identified by the Walla Walla Technical Work Group as critical for passage of these species. Many smaller projects are also being developed to improve passage conditions as a result of ESA which the requested "small project fund" would provide cost share funds of up to 50% for implementation/construction. Types of projects which would fall under this program would include conversions from gravity to pump diversions and elimination of pushup dams through use of rock weirs. The FY2000 forecast had identified only O&M costs for the outyears.

Reason for change in scope

As efforts in the basin have intensified due to the ESA listings and additional information has become available, the relative importance of various passage improvement projects has been reprioritized and new projects have been identified for implementation.

REVIEW:
CBFWA Funding Recommendation

Recommendation:
Ongoing Funding: yes; New Funding: no

Date:
Jul 14, 2000

Comment:

Although there has been no change in scope for this project, additional activities appear to have been added. It is not clear if these activities have been technically reviewed by an oversight committee, but they should probably be technically reviewed by the Anadromous Fish Committee prior to funding.

REVIEW:
NWPPC Funding Recommendation

Recommendation:
Do Not Fund

Date:
Sep 13, 2000

Comment:

Rationale: Previous commitments remain available for scope of work; Project has 2.4 million already committed but not contracted - carried $1million from 1999.
