How does OWEB track a project and its accomplishments?
After the applicant enters into a grant agreement, funds are disbursed based upon the approval of project invoices over the term of the project. At the end of the project, a completion report is required for the final disbursement of funds. The Watershed Restoration Project Database (see Oregon Watershed Restoration Inventory ) is being used to document progress in addressing basin restoration needs and to evaluate the effectiveness of different restoration strategies around the state. The database is an important part of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds monitoring program, along with statistically structured smolt, spawner and habitat monitoring.
