Total FY 2001 budget request$1,870,520
FY 2001 forecast from 2000$75,000
% change from forecast2394.0%
Reason for change in estimated budget

The FY2001 budget forecast was based upon receiving the entire capital acquisition cost in FY2000. However, the Northwest Power Planning Council approved one-half of the acquisition cost and designated the entire acquisition as an "ongoing" project under their program, with the remaining funds to be secured in FY2001. Discounting the capital costs in FY2001, the percent change from forecast is only +34%.

Reason for change in scope

Restoration costs had not been identified in FY1999, when this project was submitted. Preliminary restoration opportunities have been identified and anticipated costs have been calculated.

Restoration costs had not been identified in FY1999, when this project was submitted. Preliminary restoration opportunities have been identified and anticipated costs have been calculated. The one change in scope was made to include tailings removal and was not identified in the FY 2000 proposal. Section 3, Objective 1 and Section 4, Objective 2 for a total of $96,400.
