The ODFW Review is inconsistent. It checks the box for "in-channel" reservoir (top of page 1) and answers "no" to Question 1 (whether "the proposed project and AO [are] off channel). However, it highlights the "N/A" text under Question 3 regarding fish passage. The application and map alos indicate that the reservoir is off-channel. At a minimum, ODFW's review form should be revised so the record is clear about whether the proposed reservoir (and associated dam) are in a stream/river channel, which significantly affects impacts on fish passage and water quality. ODFW's recommended storage season also should be included in any permit with conditions sufficient to ensure compliance with the limited storages season. Thank for you for considering these comments.
