Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Honey Creek Diversions Passage and Screening opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00145) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support on-the-ground aquatic habitat and fish conservation work in Oregon. The project focus is Honey Creek in the BLM Lakeview District, within the Warner Basin, and the core purpose is to improve conditions for native fish by addressing problems created by existing irrigation diversion structures and their associated ditches.
The main conservation goal is to help conserve and restore populations of the Warner sucker, redband trout, and other native fish in the Warner Basin by improving fish passage and reducing fish losses at irrigation infrastructure. The announcement emphasizes retrofitting diversion sites so fish can move past diversion points more safely and effectively, while also installing or improving screening at diversion ditches to prevent fish from becoming entrained (pulled or diverted) into irrigation ditches where they may be stranded, injured, or unable to return to the stream. In practical terms, the funded work would typically involve modifications to diversion structures and ditches that reduce barriers to movement and add protective screening so the irrigation system can operate while minimizing harm to fish.
Administratively, this is categorized under Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The opportunity anticipated making one award. The estimated total funding amount listed is $200,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $51,000, indicating that while the broader funding estimate is higher, individual awards under this announcement were expected to be capped at $51,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which generally means applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility, though project partnerships and leveraged resources can still be advantageous depending on evaluation criteria described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types (subject to any clarifications in the full notice). The notice was posted on July 5, 2012, created the same day, and had an original and current closing date of July 11, 2012, reflecting a short application window. The opportunity was later archived on July 4, 2013. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement and application package via the application materials associated with the posting, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Jessica Clark at the BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov).
