Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R4 13 006) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant under CFDA 15.608 focused on environmental and natural resource management. It is important to note that this posting is strictly a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award and does not function as an open funding competition. There is no full announcement package, and the agency is not requesting or accepting competitive proposals from the public. In other words, this is a pre-identified award action rather than a chance for new applicants to apply.
The intended recipient is the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR). The award is described as a continuation of work conducted in prior years, specifically creel surveys carried out at multiple locations on the Richard B. Russell Reservoir and the J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir. Creel surveys are a standard fisheries management tool used to estimate fishing pressure, angler catch, harvest, effort, and related metrics, often through angler interviews and onsite observation. In this case, the surveys are being used to evaluate potential effects associated with pumped storage operations on these reservoirs, which can influence water levels, water movement, habitat conditions, and fish behavior in ways that may affect angling outcomes and broader fisheries conditions.
The new scope of work continues the monitoring and assessment effort and is designed to evaluate four pumped storage units. While the notice does not provide a detailed task list, the core purpose is clear: maintain consistent, multi-year monitoring so managers can better understand trends and potential operational impacts over time, rather than relying on a one-time snapshot. Continuation projects like this are typically structured to preserve methodological consistency (survey timing, sampling locations, data fields, and analysis approaches), which helps ensure year-to-year comparisons remain meaningful.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a grant with an expected single award. The estimated total funding is $158,998, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $158,998, indicating the project budget is fixed at that amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. Eligibility is effectively limited because the agency states there is not an application for this project, and the single-source award is justified under internal policy (referenced as DM 2.2 14(B)4). The posting dates indicate it was created and posted on April 18, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 23, 2013, and an archive date of May 23, 2013, which is consistent with a short administrative window for a noncompetitive notice.
