Opportunity Summary:
The Fish Habitat Improvement Projects Agreement Addendum (Funding Opportunity Number BOR PN 16 N007) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, delivered through a cooperative agreement. It relates to two existing cooperative agreements between Reclamation and the Grant Soil and Water Conservation District (GSWCD) focused on stream and habitat improvement work in Oregon. The target area is Grant County, specifically the Upper John Day and Middle Fork John Day subbasins, where restoration actions are intended to improve conditions for anadromous fish and other native species of concern.
The core purpose of the agreements is to complete on-the-ground projects that enhance stream habitat and overall watershed function. The expected ecological outcomes include better access to spawning and rearing areas, reduced fish entrainment (such as fish being drawn into irrigation or diversion structures), increased streamflow in key reaches, improved fish passage, and broader gains in habitat quantity and habitat quality. The opportunity explicitly highlights benefits for native and endangered fish species in the basin, including spring Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and bull trout, indicating that the work is aligned with recovery and conservation priorities for sensitive fisheries.
This particular addendum is driven by a formal request from GSWCD to revise both the budgets and the scope of work under the two existing agreements. The district notes that its board approved adjustments to staff salary ranges effective January 1, 2016, which necessitates budget updates. In addition, GSWCD is proposing to remove projects that are no longer viable and to consolidate other projects so the overall set of activities is more efficient and financially manageable. In practical terms, the addendum functions as an administrative and programmatic update: it keeps the restoration effort moving forward while reflecting current staffing costs and refining the project list to focus resources on deliverable, high-value work.
The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.517 and falls within the Natural Resources funding activity category. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posting was created June 22, 2016, with an original closing date of July 6, 2016. The total anticipated funding amount is $104,165, shown both as the award ceiling and the expected award amount, suggesting a single award at that level rather than multiple awards.
