The ISRP reviewed the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation’s (CTWSR) May 26, 2017 response to previous qualifications on the John Day Habitat Enhancement Implementation Strategy (ISRP 2016-13, ISRP 2016-4, ISRP 2013-11; see also ISRP 2017-2). Rather than continuing the response-loop process to address some remaining concerns, the ISRP requests a face-to-face meeting with the project proponents to discuss specific questions before making recommendations on the current response. The goals of the meeting would be (1) to open a more efficient dialogue for aligning the visions of the ISRP and CTWSR for effective restoration and enhancement, and (2) for the ISRP to learn more about specific elements of the Strategy that were not fully addressed in the May 26 response.
