Opportunity Summary:

The Chelan County Coordination and Monitoring grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00041) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). The program is designed to support Chelan County Natural Resource Department (CCNRD) as the lead entity for coordinating and advancing stream and habitat improvement work in the Wenatchee Subbasin, which is part of the Upper Columbia Region. The core purpose is to strengthen the planning, coordination, and development pipeline for new and proposed habitat enhancement projects that ultimately improve stream habitat conditions in the subbasin.

A major emphasis of the opportunity is project coordination and development rather than direct construction alone. The funding is intended to help CCNRD organize partners, identify and prioritize habitat needs, and move habitat improvement concepts toward implementable projects that can produce measurable stream benefits. In addition to supporting the development of new efforts, the Bureau of Reclamation also intends to fund post-construction monitoring for existing habitat projects that Reclamation has previously partnered on. This monitoring component reflects an accountability and learning focus: tracking how completed projects perform over time, documenting outcomes, and using results to guide future restoration or maintenance decisions.

The opportunity anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $1,230,222, which is also listed as the award ceiling. The award floor is $1, indicating the formal minimum but not implying typical award size. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which reduces barriers to participation for the eligible applicant. Eligibility is limited to county governments, aligning with the project leadership role intended for a local public entity like Chelan County.

Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on July 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2014. The archive date is July 2, 2015, meaning it was a time-limited solicitation and is now historical rather than open. The listing references Grants.gov for additional information and includes a Bureau of Reclamation contact for access issues: Melinda Ritacco, Financial Assistance Specialist, at 208-378-5103 and mritacco@usbr.gov.
