Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA Scappoose Watershed Assessment and Fish Passage, Salem District, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00183) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM would typically expect to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination, technical input, or shared oversight. The work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.234, the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination program, which often supports projects that improve watershed health, habitat, and related community-benefit natural resource outcomes.
The project’s core purpose is straightforward and practical: improve aquatic habitat conditions in the Scappoose area by (1) removing a fish passage barrier in Cedar Creek and (2) completing a watershed assessment for the broader system. The fish passage component focuses on addressing a physical obstruction that limits fish movement, which can prevent access to spawning and rearing habitat, reduce population resilience, and fragment habitat. Barrier removal is commonly pursued to reconnect stream networks, restore natural movement patterns, and improve overall watershed function for fish and other aquatic organisms.
Alongside the on-the-ground passage improvement, the grant supports completion of a watershed assessment that was already nearing completion at the time of the announcement. The assessment is intended to produce actionable management information rather than a purely descriptive report. Specifically, it is expected to deliver a list of limiting factors affecting fish habitat and provide a prioritization framework to guide future restoration or management actions. In practical terms, that means the assessment should help identify what is most constraining fish habitat quality or productivity (for example, passage barriers, sediment, temperature issues, riparian condition, flow limitations, channel complexity, or other stressors) and rank the highest-value opportunities to address those constraints.
Funding details indicate an estimated total program amount of $90,000, with one anticipated award. The award ceiling listed is $12,546 and the award floor is $1, suggesting the funding may be distributed in smaller increments, task-based phases, or paired with other related funding sources, even though the overall opportunity references a larger estimated total. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which reduces barriers for eligible organizations and allows applicants to focus resources on direct project delivery rather than assembling match contributions.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on August 6, 2013, with an application deadline of September 5, 2013, and it remained archived until August 5, 2014. For application access issues or questions, the point of contact listed is Jessica Clark at the BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov). The full application instructions and package were provided through the announcement’s application materials.
