Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Salmon River Aquatic Habitat Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00135) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. It supports an ongoing aquatic habitat restoration effort on the Salmon River focused on improving river and floodplain function and, in practical terms, creating better habitat conditions for fish and other aquatic species by reshaping how water moves through the system and how habitat features form and persist over time. The funding is intended to advance on-the-ground restoration actions that increase the amount and quality of side channel and off-channel habitat and improve habitat complexity in the main river channel.
The core restoration goals are threefold: increase side channel habitat, increase side channel and off-channel habitat complexity and diversity, and increase mainstem (main channel) habitat complexity and diversity. A central feature of the proposed work is improving the hydrologic connection between the main river and adjacent side channel or off-channel areas, which is often critical for salmonid rearing and refuge during high flows or warm periods. The project plans to enhance the connection of river flows to these habitats by building a large wood habitat structure at a side channel inlet. This structure is meant to maintain and improve the side channel connection over time and to help capture and recruit naturally occurring large wood, which is a key driver of natural channel complexity in forested river systems.
In addition to the inlet structure, the project includes placing large wood habitat structures within the side channel itself and at a location where a second side channel returns to the main channel. These installations are designed to restore and increase habitat complexity and diversity by creating and enhancing scour pools, increasing hydraulic complexity (for example, varied depths, flow paths, and turbulence patterns), and providing velocity refugia where fish can hold position with less energy expenditure. The structures are also intended to promote gravel deposition in appropriate areas, supporting geomorphic processes that help maintain spawning and rearing habitat, while also encouraging the ongoing recruitment and retention of naturally occurring large wood so that the system can continue to build and sustain complex habitat features beyond the initial construction.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $325,000, though the listed award ceiling for an individual award was $76,275 (with an award floor of $1). No cost sharing or matching requirement was specified. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to applicant types, subject to any clarifications that would have been included in the full announcement package. The opportunity was posted on July 17, 2013, with an application closing date of August 6, 2013, and it was archived on July 17, 2014.

2) What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON)?
The Funding Opportunity Number is L13AS00135.
3) Which federal agency is offering this funding?
This opportunity is offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
4) What type of federal assistance is this (grant vs. cooperative agreement)?
The opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement under BLM discretionary grant authority.
5) What CFDA program does this opportunity fall under?
It is listed under CFDA 15.231: Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
6) What is the main purpose of the project being funded?
The funding supports an ongoing aquatic habitat restoration effort on the Salmon River aimed at improving river and floodplain function and creating better habitat conditions for fish and other aquatic species.
7) What kinds of outcomes is the restoration intended to achieve?
The work is intended to reshape how water moves through the river system and floodplain and how habitat features form and persist over time, with a practical emphasis on improved aquatic habitat for fish and other aquatic species.
8) What specific habitat types does the funding focus on improving?
The opportunity is intended to advance on-the-ground actions that increase the amount and quality of side channel and off-channel habitat and improve habitat complexity in the main river channel (mainstem).
9) What are the core restoration goals listed in the opportunity?
The opportunity lists three core goals:
- Increase side channel habitat
- Increase side channel and off-channel habitat complexity and diversity
- Increase mainstem (main channel) habitat complexity and diversity
10) Why is hydrologic connection between the main river and side/off-channel areas important?
The project emphasizes improving hydrologic connection because access to side channels and off-channel habitats can be critical for salmonid rearing and for refuge during high flows or warm periods.
11) What is the central feature of the proposed restoration work?
A central feature is improving the hydrologic connection between the main river and adjacent side channel/off-channel areas by building a large wood habitat structure at a side channel inlet.
12) What is the purpose of the large wood structure at the side channel inlet?
The inlet structure is intended to maintain and improve the side channel connection over time and to help capture and recruit naturally occurring large wood, which helps drive natural channel complexity in forested river systems.
13) Are additional large wood structures included beyond the inlet structure?
Yes. The project also includes placing large wood habitat structures within the side channel and at a location where a second side channel returns to the main channel.
14) What habitat improvements are the in-channel large wood structures designed to create?
They are designed to restore and increase habitat complexity and diversity by creating and enhancing scour pools, increasing hydraulic complexity (such as varied depths, flow paths, and turbulence patterns), and providing velocity refugia where fish can hold position with less energy expenditure.
15) How does the project relate to gravel deposition and geomorphic processes?
The structures are intended to promote gravel deposition in appropriate areas, supporting geomorphic processes that help maintain spawning and rearing habitat.
16) Does the project aim to support natural processes after construction?
Yes. The installations are intended to encourage ongoing recruitment and retention of naturally occurring large wood so the system can continue to build and sustain complex habitat features beyond the initial construction.
17) How many awards were anticipated?
The opportunity anticipated a single award.
18) What was the estimated total funding amount?
The estimated total funding amount was $325,000.
19) What was the award ceiling and award floor listed for an individual award?
The listed award ceiling for an individual award was $76,275, and the award floor was $1.
