Independent Scientific Review Panel Final Review (August 31, 2006)
[Download full document]
|
| Recommendation: Fundable in part
|
| Comments: The proposal is improved from past proposals in terms of readability. Project results in the form of habitat and fish population changes are much more clearly described for Clear and Spring creeks. In future, results from other streams for which activities are being initiated should be described in a similar manner. Tasks outlined in the proposal appear fundable, for Spring Creek and other project locations, except for those portions regarding Clear Creek. The response is of value in providing additional detail on the Clear Creek bison issue and suggests to reviewers that progress is being made toward a solution. Quoting from the response: “The Resident Fisheries Department is currently working with the Tribal Land Use Department (Range Department) and NRCS in surveying rangelands for development of a Range Management Plan (currently being drafted) and Tribal Enterprises which includes the Tribal Buffalo Herd Program to assess what the pasture can sustain and reduce the size of the herd accordingly, and a rotational scheme between other pastures. In addition, The Resident Fisheries Program is working with Tribal Water Quality staff develop water quality standards for the Fort Hall Reservation. As mentioned previously, additional funding has been made available through BPA for fence purchasing. Plans for restoring the buffalo fence are underway for a short-term solution until management plans can be implemented in for the tribal buffalo herd. No time line is currently available as of this response but approval to initiate the process by Fort Hall Business Council will take place in August 2006.” Therefore, Clear Creek fisheries activities are not fundable until adequate resolution is reached, as described above, to preclude future sediment delivery into the stream from the buffalo pasture source. |
Independent Scientific Review Panel Preliminary Review (June 2, 2006)
[Download full document]
|
| Recommendation: Response requested
|
| Comments: The proposal is improved from past proposals in terms of readability. However, as the ISRP noted in its previous review of this project, an issue with livestock management remains unresolved; namely, a bison herd in the upper basin compromises the work proposed by this project in the lower basin. A response is needed on strategies and alternatives to deal with this dilemma. Previous comments: Fundable. The response provided valuable information and clarified several items from the proposal. In spite of the long history of the project (start date of 1992), livestock management issues still appear to be unresolved (as discussed in the response) and may be limiting the benefits of the past habitat improvement actions. These issues need to be resolved before further funding of the project can be justified from a technical perspective. |
