Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Dyke Diversion Passage and Screening, Lakeview, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00050) focused on native fish conservation and habitat connectivity in the Warner Basin near Lakeview, Oregon. The core goal of the project was to improve fish passage at the Dyke diversion and to install screening on the associated diversion ditch. These actions are intended to reduce harm caused by diversion structures that can block fish movement or pull fish into ditches, which can strand, injure, or kill them and ultimately reduce population numbers. By fixing these specific barriers, the project aims to support healthier, more resilient fish populations and improve overall aquatic ecosystem function in the basin.
The opportunity specifically targeted conservation and restoration benefits for Warner sucker and redband trout, along with other native fish species present in the Warner Basin. Warner sucker is particularly significant because it is endemic to the Warner Basin, meaning it is found naturally only there, so local habitat problems can have outsized impacts on the entire species. Redband trout were also highlighted because they are important to the sport fishing community, tying the ecological outcomes to a clear public benefit through recreational fisheries. In practical terms, the project was framed as a direct improvement to a public fisheries resource by protecting and rebuilding native fish populations, improving their ability to move through the watershed, and reducing mortality associated with unscreened or poorly screened diversion infrastructure.
BLM also emphasized that this effort was intended to contribute to broader species recovery objectives, including progress toward potential delisting under the Endangered Species Act. That point matters because it signals the work is not just a localized infrastructure fix, but part of a larger recovery strategy where measurable reductions in threats and improvements in habitat connectivity can help demonstrate that a species is moving toward long-term viability. In other words, this project was positioned as a step in a sequence of actions needed to reverse declines, stabilize populations, and reduce the risk factors that led to federal protection in the first place.
Administratively, the award mechanism was a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with the associated CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). Only one award was expected. The estimated total funding amount listed for the opportunity was $84,800, while the stated award ceiling was $34,800 and the award floor was $1. The solicitation indicated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes participation more feasible for applicants that may not have access to non-federal match funds.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that would have appeared in the full announcement materials. The opportunity was posted on March 20, 2012, with an application closing date of April 5, 2012, and it was archived on March 20, 2013. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed grants management contact was Teresa E. Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 503-808-6243 or tespicke@blm.gov.
