<br />000599 <br /> <br />APPENDIX C: FY-2002 - 2003 PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS <br /> <br />Descriptions of the projects contained in the FY 2002 - 2003 work plan follow. Lead agency and <br />FY 2002 project cost are shown in parentheses. A project's total "out year cost" is shown after the <br />project description. Outyear cost is the estimated funding needed from FY 2003 through project <br />completion. For Program Management and other ongoing projects, outyear cost represents <br />annual cost. The projects are listed by recovery element, in the order that they appear in <br />Appendix A. Projects are not necessarily numbered consecutively, since project numbers have <br />remained unique since FY 94. <br /> <br />More detailed descriptions of each project can be found in the Revised Scopes of Work for <br />FY 2002 - 2003 Work Plan Activities, available from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, <br />Colorado River Recovery Program, P.O.

These <br />gages are used by the Recovery Program to aid in scheduling reservoir releases, to <br />provide a benchmark for future video or aerial photography, and to provide a basis for <br />refining flow recommendations. Tota] outyear cost: -$48,300/year. <br /> <br />9.
