Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Muddy Creek Watershed Native Fish Habitat Restoration grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00170) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) effort focused on restoring stream connectivity and improving native fish habitat within the Muddy Creek watershed in Wyoming. It sits within a broader, ongoing watershed-scale restoration initiative intended to reconnect more than 34 miles of currently fragmented aquatic habitat. The work is aimed at benefiting several BLM-sensitive and conservation-priority native fish species in the Colorado River Basin, especially Colorado River cutthroat trout, bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker, and roundtail chub, with additional benefits expected for mountain sucker and speckled dace.
The project is structured in three phases, with an overall expectation that full completion would take place over roughly five years. The initial funding described in this announcement is intended to support Phase 1, while later phases could be added if additional funds become available. The practical restoration focus is on fixing human-made barriers that prevent fish movement and degrade stream function. Specifically, the BLM wants to modify existing structures so fish can pass upstream and downstream while still maintaining stream grade, stability, and the original functional intent of those structures (such as road crossings or stabilization features).
Key objectives include designing a solution that restores fish passage and rehabilitates a degraded reach of Muddy Creek affected by a culvert road crossing, as well as designing and carrying out the removal or modification of an existing fish barrier on Littlefield Creek. The scope also includes addressing sheet piling structures in Muddy Creek that contribute to blockage or impairment of natural stream processes. An important deliverable is the development of an engineered design package that can be used to generate credible cost estimates and define funding needs for future phases and related conservation work, essentially setting the project up for efficient implementation and follow-on investment.
From a public benefit standpoint, the project is framed around protecting aquatic resources and improving recreational fishing opportunities by reconnecting habitats and supporting healthier native fish populations. The funding is provided through a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category and the CFDA program number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $42,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $42,000, indicating a single anticipated award at that amount. No cost sharing or matching was required.
Eligibility is presented as unrestricted in the general listing, but the announcement text clarifies that the eligible applicant is Trout Unlimited. It also explicitly states that this is not a request for applications; instead, it serves as a public notice of BLM's intent to fund the project activities without full and open competition. The opportunity was posted July 9, 2010, with a closing date of July 23, 2010, and it was archived September 30, 2010. For access or administrative questions, the listed contact was Ilze J. Karklins Powers, Grants Management Officer, at 307-775-6293 or ipowers@blm.gov.

How much aquatic habitat is this broader initiative trying to reconnect?
The broader, ongoing watershed-scale restoration initiative is intended to reconnect more than 34 miles of currently fragmented aquatic habitat.
Which native fish species are expected to benefit most from the project?
The project is aimed at benefiting BLM-sensitive and conservation-priority native fish species in the Colorado River Basin, especially Colorado River cutthroat trout, bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker, and roundtail chub.
Are there additional species expected to benefit?

Can later phases be funded under this effort?
Later phases could be added if additional funds become available.
What types of problems is the restoration work designed to fix?
The restoration focus is on fixing human-made barriers that prevent fish movement and degrade stream function, including structures that block passage or disrupt natural stream processes.
What does BLM want done to existing structures?
BLM wants existing structures to be modified so fish can pass upstream and downstream while still maintaining stream grade, stability, and the original functional intent of those structures (such as road crossings or stabilization features).
What specific locations or features are called out in the scope of work?
The scope includes a culvert road crossing affecting a degraded reach of Muddy Creek, an existing fish barrier on Littlefield Creek, and sheet piling structures in Muddy Creek that contribute to blockage or impairment of natural stream processes.
What is the objective related to the culvert road crossing on Muddy Creek?
A key objective is to design a solution that restores fish passage and rehabilitates a degraded reach of Muddy Creek that has been affected by a culvert road crossing.
What work is planned for Littlefield Creek?
The project includes designing and carrying out the removal or modification of an existing fish barrier on Littlefield Creek.
