2 AGAINST (NS, KC)
0 ABSTAINED
Rationale: In order to
fulfill the Innovasea order
in the time for Sturgeon
acoustic tracking in
September, Innovasea
requires a lead time 3-4
months to pre-order
batteries for the acoustic
receiver system. Therefore
the order has to be in by
the end of this month
(April) or we will not be
able to complete metrics in
the BPA SOW.

Rationale: The subcontract
with the geotechnical
driller is due to begin at
the end of May 2024 and
commence by the end of
June 2024. That short
scheduling window
requires a contract to be in
place as soon as possible.
The next NRC meeting is
not until 5/7/2024. That
does not allow enough time
for a geotechnical
subcontract to be in place
in time and the next
window may not come
until Fall 2024 or Spring
2025. It is not worth the
risk of pushing the Owhi

can no longer be delayed as
the work window for the
