Opportunity Summary:
The Clear Creek Water Evaluation System Project is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) under CFDA number 15.608. The project focuses on natural resources work at the Kooskia National Fish Hatchery in Idaho, specifically on Clear Creek at the hatchery weir. The purpose of the grant is to fund the purchase and installation of a stream evaluation station positioned just above the hatchery trap weir, creating a dedicated monitoring point for key water and sediment conditions influencing hatchery operations and aquatic habitat.
The proposed station is intended to collect continuous field measurements and also carry out calculations based on those measurements. According to the opportunity description, the system will record and compute stream discharge (flow), water temperature, turbidity (water clarity/cloudiness often linked to suspended particles), and sediment collection. In practical terms, this kind of station typically supports better decision-making by providing a consistent dataset on how much water is moving through the system and what that water is carrying, which can be critical for fish passage, hatchery intake management, and understanding conditions that affect fish health and spawning success.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility details that may be provided in the full announcement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity anticipates a single award. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $79,500, with one expected award, indicating a targeted, site-specific installation rather than a broad multi-site program.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted on March 14, 2016, created the same day, and had an application closing date of March 21, 2016. The funding opportunity number is F16AS00131. Overall, the grant is designed to equip the Kooskia National Fish Hatchery with a modern monitoring station that can generate reliable, computed water quantity and quality indicators (flow, temperature, turbidity, and sediment) at a strategically important location on Clear Creek.
