Comments: Implement with condition through FY 2016 as per January 12, 2010 Council decision: Sponsor to address ISRP qualifications in contracting (ISRP document 2009-54).
Conditions:
Council Condition #1 This recommendation was made by the Council at its meeting on January 12, 2010. The ISRP (ISRP document 2009-54) found that the follow-up information regarding Objective 1 (i.e., Use Dual-Frequency Identification Sonar (DIDSON) to estimate natural escapement of spring Chinook salmon above Castile Falls, Klickitat River) meets scientific review criteria (qualified). The qualification addresses the need for the DIDSON results to be reviewed by the ISRP in three years, as it relates to a tool for estimating escapement for spring Chinook population upstream of the Castile Falls in the Klickitat River and elsewhere in the Columbia River Basin. This qualification can be addressed through contracting and be reviewed as part of future reviews.
