For example, the State and Tribal Analytical Team, on the 

 basis of its life cycle modeling for various recovery scenarios, 

 stated: 



[T]he recovery measures were evaluated within the narrow 

 confines of economic and social constraints and not on the 

 basis of biological requirements for recovery and physical 

 constraints of the hydrosystem. 



The Recovery Team did not evaluate alternative management 

 actions with the goal of increasing instresun survival of 

 migrating juvenile salmon. For example, there were no 

 management scenarios which evaluated the combination of 

 drawdown in the SneJce River and flow augmentation in the 

 Columbia River. 



The Fish Passage Center, which oversees fish migration 

 monitoring and evaluation for federal and state fishery agencies 

 and Indian tribes, had similar comments: 



The most serious limitation of the Plan is that it does not 

 include any analysis which indicates that the listed stocks 

 will rebuild and recover with implementation of the Plan.
