A Proposal is an application to continue existing work or start new work. While historically the Program solicited for all types of projects at once, starting in fiscal year 2009, the Northwest Power and Conservation Council and BPA are reviewing and soliciting for projects that are similar in nature and intent. These "categorical" reviews started with Wildlife projects and continue with Research, Monitoring, & Evaluation (RME) and Artificial Production (Hatchery) projects.
![]() | RESCAT-2012-002-00 | Proposal Version 1 | Existing Project | Pending BPA Response | 2012-002-00 | Oregon Regional Coordination | The project provides partial funding for ODFW staff to monitor and report on activities of key regional forums where policies, programs, and actions that affect fish and wildlife are planned and implemented. ODFW will participate in these forums to collaborate and communicate Oregon's position in one or more of the forums. ODFW will monitor and provide information updates and analyses on current activities of various forums within the Columbia River Basin that may impact Oregon's interests. Our goal is to participate, collaborate and communicate effectively and efficiently with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), the NW Power and Conservation Council (Council), Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife co-managers, the US Army Corps of Engineers (COE), Columbia River mitigation forums, the Regional Implementation Oversight Group (RIOG), the Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership (PNAMP), the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Forum (PCSRF), and other relevant organizations and forums. This is to assure decisions on appropriate actions to recover fish and wildlife populations, and to mitigate for lost productivity due to the construction and operation of the Federal Columbia River Power Supply (FCRPS), are informed by Oregon’s perspective and benefit from Oregon’s expertise. This work will help to assure that ODFW has an opportunity to learn of, contribute to planning and development, and make recommendations for actions to assess and restore fish and wildlife resources affected by the development and operation of the FCRPS. This work includes contributions to a variety of regional reviews and focused workshops. This project provides partial funding support for travel and staff time to prepare for and contribute to regional processes. Work is conducted by ODFW staff throughout the year. Regional meetings and workshops are held in various locations throughout the Pacific Northwest. Preparations and contributions are conducted primarily in office environments. Our work is monitored largely through contract management to document participation and contribution to regional meetings, review, forums, workshops and oversight groups. | Thomas Rien (Inactive) | 10/06/2011 | 02/26/2014 | Thomas Rien (Inactive) | Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife | Programmatic | None | Resident Fish, Regional Coordination, and Data Management Category Review | Resident Fish, Regional Coordination, and Data Management Categorical Review | BiOp |
