BLM OR WA Honey Creek Diversions Passage and Screening, Lakeview, Oregon | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Honey Creek Diversions Passage and Screening, Lakeview, Oregon" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on improving fish passage and preventing fish losses at existing irrigation diversions on Honey Creek in the BLM Lakeview District. The core problem the project addresses is that irrigation diversion structures and associated ditches can block or hinder upstream and downstream movement of fish, and can also pull fish into diversion ditches where they may become trapped or harmed (a process often called entrainment). The proposed work centers on retrofitting these diversion sites so fish can move past them more safely, while also installing or upgrading screening on diversion ditches to keep fish out of the canals and return them to the creek.

The biological and public resource purpose is conservation and recovery of native fish in the Warner Basin, with specific emphasis on the Warner sucker (a species endemic to the basin) and redband trout (a native sport fish valued by anglers), as well as other native fish populations in the watershed. By improving passage and reducing entrainment, the project is intended to directly support restoration of natural population dynamics, improve survival and distribution, and contribute to broader recovery goals. The announcement also notes that this work is considered a meaningful step toward recovery of the Warner sucker and could help support eventual delisting under the Endangered Species Act if broader recovery criteria are met.

Administratively, this funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM expects an active partnership role rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal involvement. The project is explicitly tied to an existing cooperative agreement (No. L12AC20547). A second agreement is described as necessary to allow Secure Rural Schools (SRS) Title II funds to be applied to the work, which signals that the funding source and project implementation are being coordinated with ongoing efforts rather than starting from scratch.

In terms of the funding profile, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00321) was posted August 18, 2014, with an application deadline of August 29, 2014, and an archive date of August 17, 2015. BLM anticipated making one award under this notice. The estimated total funding listed is $500,000, and the program is associated with CFDA 15.234, "Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination." The notice states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award floor is listed as $1 and the award ceiling as $13,840, even though the estimated total funding is substantially higher; that mismatch can happen in older postings due to partial funding increments, phased agreements, or data-entry limitations in summary fields, so applicants typically need to rely on the full announcement package for the most accurate budgeting expectations. Eligible applicants are limited to special district governments, and the activity category is Natural Resources.
