QLEs are welcome to submit proposals for water transactions at any time to the Foundation. The criteria approved by the Independent Scientific Review Panel in Section 1 below should be considered in developing the transaction proposal. A proposal form has been included in Section 2 for QLEs to use in submitting a transaction proposal. It would be helpful to NFWF if the QLE included a specific cover letter to the proposal that addresses the information in the proposal form, especially if there are criteria that cannot be met due to site-specific circumstances. For additional clarification, please contact Andrew Purkey. Section 1: Criteria to be used in evaluating transaction proposals. Section 2: Proposal form for QLEs to use in submitting a transaction proposal to the Foundation for consideration. Section 3: Bonneville Power Administration water survey form to be completed and submitted with any conservation easement proposed for BPA funding. http://www.efw.bpa.gov/IntegratedFWP/WaterSurveyForm.doc |
