FY 2010 RM&E / Artificial Production Review

News & background:

March 2010 Council update: At the February meeting, staff presented a schedule that would have the RM&E/Artificial Production categorical review beginning on April 2, 2010. After consideration of several issues, Council and Bonneville staffs agree that an extension of the start date (see new schedule) may be warranted to 1) allow the Taurus team time to program all essential components for the proposal form intake; 2) allow for public feedback on the Monitoring and Evaluation Review and Reporting document after the Council releases it for public comment; and 3) allow time for project proponents to test the new proposal system and provide feedback.
February 2010: Schedule (replaced; see above)
January 2010 Council update: The Bonneville/Action Agency/Council workgroups worked to analyze work elements, BiOp requirements, and BiOp and program gaps. While the BiOp workgroups continue to refine the products, Council staff is working on the Council's MERR Framework and the process for the review. Council and Bonneville staffs are also working together on making Taurus ready to support the RM&E review; part of which includes refining projects lists for this category. There may be up to 200 projects included in the RM&E/AP category review. Using Taurus for the process will help streamline the process for all involved.
