FY 24 BAHG Recommendation 

The Budget Ad Hoc Group (BAHG) recommends the Fiscal Year 2024 budget as shown on the budget 

worksheets provided to the BAHG on June 9th, 2023 and attached to this recommendation for 

consideration by the Technical Work Group (TWG) with the following change: 

Move funds from GCMRC Project N: $29,574 into projects that may have shortfalls, or to the priorities 

listed below. 

If funds become available, the BAHG recommends those funds are used to fund the work items listed 

below in order of priority: 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FY 24 BAHG Recommendation 

Priority 1 -Short Term Rapid Response Under the Invasive Species Strategic Plan – Invasive Fish Species 

Below Glen Canyon Dam: A Strategic Plan to Prevent, Detect and Respond was adopted by the Adaptive 

Management Work Group (AMWG) on February 16th, 2023. Should short term response be necessary in 

FY24 under this Strategic Plan, the Department of Interior should prioritize available funds outside of the 

Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program. If other funding sources have been exhausted, the 

Department of Interior may consider use of the Reclamation C.5 Experimental Management Fund and the 

C.6 Native Fish Conservation Contingency Fund. Such actions that may require use of these funds must be 

coordinated with the AMWG as proposed in the Strategic Plan and BAHG process. 

Priority 2 – Continue Project Element G.6, Juvenile Chub Monitoring-West 

Priority 3 – Continue sampling at two sub-reaches for Project Element H.2, Experimental Flow Assessment 

of Trout Recruitment. 

Priority 4 – Continue Project Element C.3, Riparian Vegetation Predictive models and synthesis 

Priority 5 – Other Additional Requests identified in the GCMRC FY24 Table.
