Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Molalla River Rapid Bio Assessment (RBA) Project is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity out of the Salem District in Oregon focused on fisheries and aquatic habitat monitoring in the Molalla River basin. The central goal of the project is to map out where salmon and steelhead are present within the watershed and how they use available habitat, with an emphasis on understanding both distribution and habitat function across the mainstem Molalla River and its tributaries. In practical terms, the project is designed to produce basin-wide field information that can be used to guide on-the-ground resource protection and to prioritize future restoration work.
The work is framed around a rapid biological assessment approach, meaning the project is intended to efficiently collect targeted biological and habitat data that answers specific management questions. The main objectives are to determine the extent of spawning and rearing habitat used by salmon and steelhead across the Molalla River system, and to evaluate how important different types of river and tributary habitats are relative to each other. A key component is the examination of juvenile salmon and steelhead distribution and abundance throughout the basin, paired with observations of habitat conditions. This combination is meant to help identify where fish are successfully using the system, where they are absent, and what environmental factors may be driving those patterns.
A major expected outcome is improved understanding of migration barriers and other constraints that affect fish movement and survival. By surveying fish presence and habitat characteristics across multiple reaches, the project aims to highlight locations that may block or limit migration (for example, physical obstructions or problematic stream conditions), as well as reaches that appear to be especially important for spawning or juvenile rearing. The opportunity also emphasizes the identification of stream segments that may be temperature-limited, which can be a critical factor for salmonids during warm periods. The overall intent is to translate field findings into actionable management information, pointing to habitat areas that should be protected and restoration areas that should be treated as high priority.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies coordination with the federal agency during project implementation. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The announcement anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000 and a stated award floor of $1. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a broad range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement text on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted on May 24, 2011, and had an application closing date of June 10, 2011, with an archive date of May 24, 2012. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Teresa Spickerman at the BLM (phone 503-808-6243, email teresaespickerman@blm.gov), and the general additional information link pointed to Grants.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the BLM OR WA Molalla River Rapid Bio Assessment (RBA) Project?
The BLM OR WA Molalla River Rapid Bio Assessment (RBA) Project is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity out of the Salem District in Oregon. It focuses on fisheries and aquatic habitat monitoring in the Molalla River basin, using a rapid biological assessment approach to collect targeted fish and habitat information across the mainstem Molalla River and its tributaries.
What is the central goal of this project?
The central goal is to map where salmon and steelhead are present within the Molalla River watershed and to understand how they use available habitat. The emphasis is on fish distribution and habitat function across the mainstem river and tributaries, producing basin-wide field information that can guide resource protection and help prioritize future restoration work.
What is meant by a "rapid biological assessment" in this opportunity?
In this opportunity, a rapid biological assessment approach means efficiently collecting targeted biological and habitat data that answers specific management questions. The intent is to gather practical, decision-ready field information without framing the work as an open-ended or purely academic study.
What are the main objectives of the project?
The main objectives are to (1) determine the extent of spawning and rearing habitat used by salmon and steelhead across the Molalla River system, and (2) evaluate how important different types of river and tributary habitats are relative to each other.
Which fish species are the focus of the monitoring work?
The work described in the announcement focuses on salmon and steelhead, including a specific emphasis on juvenile salmon and steelhead distribution and abundance throughout the basin.
What types of information is the project expected to collect?
Based on the description, the project is expected to collect basin-wide field information on fish presence, distribution, and abundance (with particular attention to juveniles), paired with observations of habitat conditions. The combination is intended to help explain where fish are present or absent and what environmental factors may be influencing those patterns.
What geographic area does this opportunity cover?
The work is focused on the Molalla River basin in Oregon, spanning both the mainstem Molalla River and its tributaries.
How will the results be used by managers?
The announcement describes a practical management purpose: translating field findings into actionable information. Results are intended to guide on-the-ground resource protection and to identify restoration areas that should be treated as high priority.

Yes. The opportunity emphasizes identifying stream segments that may be temperature-limited, which can be a critical factor for salmonids during warm periods.
What kinds of habitats are being evaluated?
The project is framed to evaluate spawning and rearing habitat across the river system and to assess the relative importance of different habitat types in both the mainstem and tributaries. The announcement also notes identifying reaches that appear especially important for spawning or juvenile rearing.
What type of funding instrument is being used?
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement. The description notes that this typically implies coordination with the federal agency during project implementation.
