Opportunity Summary:
The Clearwater Coho Acclimation Pond grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 10140 AG100) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service earmark grant focused on modifying an existing fish hatchery acclimation site to support Mitchell Act coho salmon smolt acclimation prior to release. The work would take place at the North Lapwai Valley (NLV) acclimation site, part of the Nez Perce Tribal Hatchery program in Nez Perce County, Idaho. The facility is operated by the Nez Perce Tribe with Bonneville Power Administration funding and sits about 0.75 miles upstream from where Lapwai Creek meets the Clearwater River. At present, the NLV site is used to acclimate fall Chinook salmon subyearling smolts, which effectively prevents the current ponds from being used for coho acclimation during those periods.
The existing NLV satellite facility includes two acclimation ponds, each providing roughly 13,150 cubic feet of rearing space, and it already has a flexible water supply system that draws from both surface water and groundwater, which can be blended to manage water temperature. The ponds are positioned at a higher elevation within the site, and their discharge flows toward Lapwai Creek near the State Highway 95 bridge crossing. Importantly, the site was originally designed with expansion in mind, and it already has living quarters that can support staff who need to be onsite during acclimation operations.
The proposed project centers on building out additional acclimation capacity specifically for coho by excavating a new pond downslope from the current ponds. The planned pond volume is 23,000 cubic feet, sized to acclimate up to 550,000 coho salmon smolts at a density index of 0.3 (referencing the fish culture guidance of Piper et al., 1982). To supply and manage water for the new pond, the project would connect into existing infrastructure, including the current pond overflow system, an onsite well, and the surface water head tank. The design also includes creating a "first pass" water supply using overflow from the head tank, while allowing "second pass" water to be diverted from overflow coming from the existing ponds, giving operators more control over flows and re-use where appropriate.
A final component involves minor channel improvements along the existing overflow ditch that leads to Lapwai Creek. The project proposes constructing small check dams to impound a series of small pools along this route. This kind of feature can help slow and manage water movement, potentially improving settling and flow stability before water returns to the creek, while fitting within the existing discharge pathway.
The grant is structured as a single expected award with an award ceiling of $201,661 and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The opportunity was posted on June 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 17, 2010, and it was archived on July 17, 2010.
In terms of purpose and anticipated outcomes, the project is described as a targeted facility modification intended to increase juvenile coho survival by enabling acclimation prior to release, which in turn is expected to improve adult returns. It also aims to increase the ability to collect broodstock for developing or maintaining a local broodstock source, while minimizing impacts to non-target populations, specifically ESA-listed fall Chinook and steelhead, by reducing operational conflicts and improving how releases are managed.

Clearwater Coho Acclimation Pond Grant (FON 10140 AG100) FAQs
What is the Clearwater Coho Acclimation Pond grant opportunity?
It is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service earmark grant opportunity focused on modifying an existing fish hatchery acclimation site to support Mitchell Act coho salmon smolt acclimation prior to release.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON) for this grant?
The Funding Opportunity Number is 10140 AG100.
Which federal agency is associated with this grant?
The opportunity is associated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
What facility or site will the work take place at?
The work would take place at the North Lapwai Valley (NLV) acclimation site, which is part of the Nez Perce Tribal Hatchery program.
Where is the North Lapwai Valley (NLV) acclimation site located?
The site is in Nez Perce County, Idaho, about 0.75 miles upstream from the confluence where Lapwai Creek meets the Clearwater River.
Who operates the facility where the project would occur?
The facility is operated by the Nez Perce Tribe.
How is the facility currently funded for operations?
The facility is operated with Bonneville Power Administration funding.
What is the site currently used for?
At present, the NLV site is used to acclimate fall Chinook salmon subyearling smolts.
Why is additional acclimation capacity needed for coho salmon?
Because the existing ponds are used for fall Chinook acclimation during certain periods, that use effectively prevents the current ponds from being used for coho acclimation during those times. The proposed project adds coho-specific capacity to reduce those operational conflicts.
What existing infrastructure does the NLV satellite facility already have?
The NLV satellite facility includes two existing acclimation ponds and a flexible water supply system that draws from both surface water and groundwater and can blend them to manage water temperature. The site also has living quarters to support staff staying onsite during acclimation operations.
How large are the existing acclimation ponds?
Each of the two existing acclimation ponds provides roughly 13,150 cubic feet of rearing space.
How does water discharge from the existing ponds reach Lapwai Creek?
The existing ponds are positioned at a higher elevation within the site, and their discharge flows toward Lapwai Creek near the State Highway 95 bridge crossing.
What is the main proposed construction activity under this grant?
The project centers on excavating and building a new acclimation pond downslope from the current ponds to add capacity specifically for coho salmon smolt acclimation.
What is the planned size of the new pond?
The planned pond volume is 23,000 cubic feet.
How many coho salmon smolts is the new pond designed to acclimate?
The new pond is sized to acclimate up to 550,000 coho salmon smolts.
What density index is referenced for the new pond design?
The design references a density index of 0.3, citing fish culture guidance from Piper et al. (1982).
How will the new pond be supplied with water?
The project would connect the new pond into existing site infrastructure, including the current pond overflow system, an onsite well, and the surface water head tank.
What is meant by "first pass" and "second pass" water in the project description?
The design proposes a "first pass" water supply using overflow from the head tank. It also allows "second pass" water to be diverted from overflow coming from the existing ponds, giving operators added control over flows and water re-use where appropriate.
Are any improvements planned for the site’s discharge pathway to Lapwai Creek?
Yes. The project includes minor channel improvements along the existing overflow ditch leading to Lapwai Creek, including constructing small check dams to impound a series of small pools.
What is the purpose of adding check dams and small pools along the overflow ditch?
The features are described as a way to slow and manage water movement and potentially improve settling and flow stability before water returns to Lapwai Creek, while using the existing discharge pathway.
What are the intended outcomes of the project?
The project is intended to increase juvenile coho survival by enabling acclimation prior to release, which is expected to improve adult returns. It also aims to increase the ability to collect broodstock for developing or maintaining a local broodstock source.
How does the project address impacts to other fish populations?
The project is described as helping minimize impacts to non-target populations, specifically ESA-listed fall Chinook and steelhead, by reducing operational conflicts and improving how releases are managed.
Who is eligible to apply for this grant?
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments.
How many awards are expected under this opportunity?
The grant is structured as a single expected award.
What is the maximum award amount (award ceiling)?
