Opportunity Summary:
The Chumstick Barrier Removal Phase 4 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00237) is a discretionary, environment-focused cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.631, Partners for Fish and Wildlife. The project is centered on habitat restoration in Chumstick Creek, with the stated purpose of restoring and improving fish and wildlife habitat for the benefit of the American public. The work is intended to protect and restore public trust resources, with a clear emphasis on aquatic habitat conditions that affect federally listed fish species.
The proposed effort is led by the Chelan County Natural Resources Department working in cooperation with the Fish and Wildlife Service. The central on-the-ground activity is barrier removal and related habitat restoration actions in Chumstick Creek. While the announcement text is brief, the title and description indicate the project is part of a multi-phase effort (Phase 4), suggesting continuation of earlier restoration steps aimed at improving stream connectivity. In practical terms, barrier removal projects typically focus on eliminating or modifying structures that impede fish passage (such as undersized culverts, perched outlets, small dams, or other stream-crossing obstructions), which can reopen access to upstream spawning and rearing habitat and improve overall stream function.
A major driver of the project is conservation benefit to specific listed species present in the watershed. The opportunity highlights federally Endangered Spring Chinook salmon and Upper Columbia River steelhead, and federally Threatened bull trout. These species rely on connected, cold, and complex stream habitats to complete their life cycles, and they are particularly sensitive to passage barriers that fragment habitat, restrict migration, and reduce access to high-quality upstream areas. By restoring connectivity and improving habitat conditions, the project aims to support recovery and persistence of these populations, along with broader fish and wildlife benefits in the Chumstick Creek system.
Funding is modest and targeted, with an estimated total funding amount of $35,305 and an award ceiling of $35,305 (no stated minimum award floor beyond $0). The announcement anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial burden on the recipient and can make it easier for an eligible local or state government entity to implement the work. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments and county governments, aligning with the project description that identifies Chelan County Natural Resources Department as the cooperating local partner.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited 2012 opportunity: it was posted and created on June 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 6, 2012, and an archive date of July 7, 2012. The short application window suggests it may have been a specific, partner-driven award consistent with the cooperative agreement model, where the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement in project planning, implementation oversight, coordination, or technical support.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement details (such as scope of work specifics, reporting requirements, deliverables, or compliance considerations), the listing references Grants.gov as the additional information source.
