Opportunity Summary:
The Clear Creek Native Bonneville Cutthroat Trout Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00355) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance CFDA (15.608). The project is focused on restoring native Bonneville cutthroat trout (BCT) populations in the Clear Creek drainage within Fish Lake National Forest in Utah after severe impacts from the Twitchel Forest Fire. In the aftermath of the fire, storm events increased erosion and washed ash and sediment into streams, which contributed to the loss of BCT in Fish Creek, Mill Creek, and other affected waters. The overall intent is to rebuild and sustain viable native fish populations by improving and protecting habitat conditions throughout the drainage and then reestablishing BCT where they were extirpated or heavily reduced.
A central component of the work is preventing reinvasion by nonnative fish, which can outcompete, prey on, or hybridize with native cutthroat trout and undermine restoration. To address that risk, the project includes designing a fish barrier near the Clear Creek and Sevier River confluence. The barrier is meant to stop nonnative fish movement into upstream portions of the drainage that will be managed specifically for native BCT. Once the barrier is constructed and operational, upstream stream segments can be treated and then stocked with native fish, followed by ongoing management aimed at long-term persistence of restored populations. The opportunity description also notes that WNTI funding has been applied for and secured to support implementation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR), with key objectives including barrier design and the transfer of native fish into Clear Creek and its tributaries.
Administratively, this was structured as a single-source award made under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B), meaning it was not a typical open competitive solicitation. The announcement was posted on September 12, 2013 (created September 13, 2013) with an original and current closing date of September 15, 2013, and it was archived on December 30, 2013. The anticipated number of awards was one, with an estimated total funding amount of $209,000, an award ceiling of $209,000, and an award floor of $35,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed. Eligibility is described generally as "Others" with further clarification tied to the single-source nature of the award under the cited DOI policy.
