Opportunity Summary:
The Cottonwood Creek Sediment Budget grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number AFRP 08 N05) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.648, the Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP). With an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and no cost share or match requirement, the project is aimed at producing a defensible, modern sediment budget for Cottonwood Creek using geomorphological evidence and records spanning roughly 1939 to the present. The core purpose is to quantify how sediment is supplied, stored, and transported through time and across different parts of the watershed, and then use that understanding to explain observed or perceived changes in the creek channel and broader watershed condition.
The work is framed as both a data synthesis and a targeted data-collection effort. Applicants are expected to compile and interpret existing historical and contemporary datasets (for example, legacy aerial imagery, channel surveys, maps, hydrologic records, and any prior geomorphic studies) while also collecting any additional field or analytical data needed to close key information gaps. The announcement emphasizes using the most current geomorphic analysis methods, and it expects interpretation that draws on cross-disciplinary expertise, reflecting how sediment dynamics, channel form, habitat, land use, and management actions interact. The end product is meant to be practical and decision-relevant for local stakeholders, not just an academic characterization of channel change.
A central theme of the project is channel instability in the lower watershed and how the bed-material budget influences the channel's response to different flow events. The sediment budget is intended to help answer several applied questions: how stable the channel is under historic and current natural conditions and land management; what roles in-channel islands play in sediment storage and channel behavior, and how physically moving those islands might affect upstream and downstream channel form and habitat; whether the current channel configuration is limiting for aquatic or terrestrial species of concern; whether gravel mining and associated aggregate removal are contributing to instability; and whether current land-use practices are altering the sediment budget in ways that promote instability, including identifying the mechanisms involved.
Eligibility is open in a broad sense (unrestricted by organization type), but functionally limited to institutions, organizations, or individuals who can demonstrate a background in watershed management and geomorphology/sediment budget tools and methods, and who have the ability to coordinate work on private land. Federal agencies and federal employees are explicitly ineligible. The opportunity was posted June 19, 2008, with an application closing date of July 10, 2008, and an archive date of August 9, 2008. The listed contact for questions or access issues is Brenda Olson, Fishery Biologist, at 530-527-3043.

What is the main purpose of the project?
The main purpose is to produce a defensible, modern sediment budget for Cottonwood Creek using geomorphological evidence and records spanning roughly 1939 to the present. The goal is to quantify how sediment is supplied, stored, and transported through time and across different parts of the watershed, and to use that understanding to explain observed or perceived channel and watershed changes.
What time period should the sediment budget cover?
The sediment budget is expected to draw on records spanning roughly 1939 to the present.
What types of work does the announcement expect (data synthesis, field work, or both)?
The work is framed as both a data synthesis and a targeted data-collection effort. Applicants are expected to compile and interpret existing historical and contemporary datasets and also collect additional field or analytical data needed to close key information gaps.
What kinds of existing datasets are applicants expected to compile and interpret?
Examples listed include legacy aerial imagery, channel surveys, maps, hydrologic records, and any prior geomorphic studies (along with other historical and contemporary datasets relevant to sediment dynamics and channel change).
Are applicants expected to use specific scientific or technical approaches?
The announcement emphasizes using the most current geomorphic analysis methods and producing interpretation that draws on cross-disciplinary expertise, reflecting interactions among sediment dynamics, channel form, habitat, land use, and management actions.
Is the final product intended to be academic research or decision-support for stakeholders?
The end product is intended to be practical and decision-relevant for local stakeholders, not solely an academic characterization of channel change.
What major watershed issue is highlighted in the opportunity?
A central theme is channel instability in the lower watershed and how the bed-material budget influences the channel response to different flow events.
What applied questions is the sediment budget intended to help answer?
The sediment budget is intended to help address applied questions including:
- How stable the channel is under historic and current natural conditions and land management.
- What roles in-channel islands play in sediment storage and channel behavior.
- How physically moving in-channel islands might affect upstream and downstream channel form and habitat.
- Whether the current channel configuration is limiting for aquatic or terrestrial species of concern.
- Whether gravel mining and associated aggregate removal are contributing to instability.
- Whether current land-use practices are altering the sediment budget in ways that promote instability, including identifying the mechanisms involved.
