| Proposal Name: |
Crab Creek Subbasin Plan 2007 |
| Agency, Institution or Organization: |
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) |
| Short Description: |
Project will provide a more complete wildlife section (assessment, inventory, and management plan) and address key ISRP comments on the original Crab Creek Subbasin Plan.The goal of the project is the adoption of the Crab Creek Subbasin Plan by the NWPCC. |
| Information Transfer: |
The information will be used to update the current Crab Creek Subbasin Plan in order for the plan to be adopted by NWPCC. The Crab Creek Subbasin Plan will be used to prioritize projects that lead to the recovery of ESA listed species. ESA listed species within the subbasin include Steelhead, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Sage Grouse, and Pygmy Rabbits. The plan will be posted on the NWPCC internet site. |

Assessment of Fishery Improvem |
The project goal is to restore the failed recreational fishery for pan fish species (black crappie, bluegill and yellow perch) in Moses Lake. The NWPCC's Columbia River Fish and Wildlife Program funded the project as mitigation for the loss of anadromous salmon and recreational angling above Chief Joseph and Grand Coulee Dams. The NWCC relies heavily on subbasin plans to prioritize funding of projects. |

Banks Lake Fishery Evaluation |
The project goal is to conduct a limiting factors analysis to determine the cause of the decline of the kokanee and warmwater recreational fisheries in Banks Lake and to make management recommendations. The project is funded as mitigation for the loss of anadromous salmon and recreational angling above Chief Joseph and Grand Coulee Dams. The NWPCC relies heavily on subbasin plans to prioritize funding of projects. |

| Key ISRP Comments |
The original Crab Creek Subbasin Plan was inadequately funded and had little time to provide the council with a completed subbasin plan. As a result the ISRP made several comments. It should be acknowledged that funding is not available to address all ISRP comments. The project will address key ISRP comments that are within the provided "fix it" budget. Please refer to the narrative for additional detail. |

Independent Scientific Review Panel Final Review (August 31, 2006)
[Download full document]
|
| Recommendation: Not fundable
|
| Comments: The problem addressed in this proposal is that of an inadequate subbasin plan. This appears to be a request for funding to write a proposal and is not applicable for ISRP review. Sufficient information was not provided on methods to scientifically justify this proposal. The response by the sponsors does not change the recommendation. The ISRP maintains its preliminary comments and recommendation of "Not fundable." |
