Reason for change in estimated budget

The reason for the estimated change in budget is that through the analysis for the watershed assessment, culverts were identified as a high priority and a potential for large sediment problems in the watershed. This task is within the goals and objectives of this project, although it was not foreseeable when the FY2000 proposal were written; therefore, the funding was not projected.

Comment:

The reason for the estimated change in budget is that, through the analysis for the watershed assessment, culverts were identified as a high priority and a potential for large sediment problems in the watershed. A new task was proposed to remove culverts (Objective 1b under Section 4 - $199,930). This new task is within the goals and objectives of this project, although it was not foreseen when the FY 2000 proposal was written; therefore, the funding was not projected. This task should be technically reviewed by CBFWA before funding.
