Opportunity Summary:
The EASTSIDE SHASTA RIVER LIDAR opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00357) was a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It funded a single science and technology/research project focused on collecting LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data to map topography and habitat conditions along the eastern side of the Shasta River. The core purpose of generating this high-resolution elevation and habitat information was to support planning and design for several high-priority restoration projects intended to benefit public trust species and improve river and watershed function.
The grant was structured as a one-time award with an expected number of awards listed as one, and a total estimated funding amount of $40,000, which also served as both the award ceiling and the award floor. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not expected to provide non-federal match funds as a condition of the award. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting that the deliverable was technical data intended to inform on-the-ground conservation work.
From a resource management standpoint, the LiDAR data was intended to capture detailed terrain and habitat features that are difficult to assess with conventional mapping, allowing partners to identify problem areas and opportunities for restoration with much greater precision. The announcement specifically highlights intended restoration outcomes tied to anadromous fish (species that migrate between freshwater and the ocean), fish passage (reducing barriers or improving connectivity so fish can access spawning and rearing habitat), and water conservation (supporting strategies that improve hydrologic efficiency or restore natural processes that help retain and distribute water across the landscape). In practical terms, LiDAR-derived products can be used to evaluate channel morphology, floodplain connectivity, riparian corridor structure, potential barrier locations, and elevation-driven flow pathways that influence habitat quality and seasonal water availability.
Administratively, this posting functioned as a notice of intent and indicates the opportunity had already been awarded at the time of posting. Both the original and current closing date fields state that it "has been awarded," and the eligibility section repeats that this was a notice of intent with the award made to Quantum Spatial, Inc. (also referenced as Quantam Spatial, Inc. in the text). As a result, it was not an open competition for new applicants at the time it appeared on the grants portal; rather, it served as a public record of the planned/issued award.
The opportunity was posted and created on July 31, 2014. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Misty Bradford, Cooperative Agreements Assistant, reachable by phone at 530-842-5763 (work).

The funding instrument type was a grant.
What activity category does this opportunity fall under?
The activity category was listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development.
What was the main purpose of the project?
The core purpose was to generate high-resolution elevation and habitat information using LiDAR so partners could better plan and design several high-priority restoration projects. The intent was to benefit public trust species and improve river and watershed function.
What geographic area did the LiDAR data collection focus on?
The project focused on the eastern side of the Shasta River.
What does LiDAR mean in this context?
LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. In this opportunity, it refers to the collection of detailed elevation and terrain data that can be used to map topography and habitat features relevant to river and watershed restoration planning.
Why was LiDAR chosen for this work?
The announcement describes LiDAR as a way to capture detailed terrain and habitat features that are difficult to assess with conventional mapping. This kind of high-resolution data can support more precise identification of problem areas and restoration opportunities.
What restoration outcomes were highlighted as being supported by this LiDAR project?
The announcement highlights intended restoration outcomes tied to anadromous fish, fish passage, and water conservation. The LiDAR-derived information was intended to support planning and design for restoration actions connected to those outcomes.
How does the posting connect to anadromous fish?
The notice states that restoration projects supported by this mapping effort were intended to benefit anadromous fish, which are species that migrate between freshwater and the ocean.
What does "fish passage" mean in the announcement?
In the context provided, fish passage refers to reducing barriers or improving connectivity so fish can access spawning and rearing habitat.
What does "water conservation" refer to in this grant description?
Water conservation is described as supporting strategies that improve hydrologic efficiency or restore natural processes that help retain and distribute water across the landscape.
What kinds of conditions can LiDAR-derived products help evaluate for restoration planning?
Based on the description provided, LiDAR-derived products can be used to evaluate channel morphology, floodplain connectivity, riparian corridor structure, potential barrier locations, and elevation-driven flow pathways that influence habitat quality and seasonal water availability.
How many awards were expected under this opportunity?
The opportunity listed an expected number of awards of one.
Was this a one-time award or recurring funding?
This grant was structured as a one-time award.
What was the total estimated funding amount?
The total estimated funding amount was $40,000.
