Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Fish Passage Improvement Projects Mill / Deer Creeks: permitting for Lower Deer Creek Falls" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00063) is a discretionary federal funding offer administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.648). The project is described as a single-source award, meaning it is intended for one specific recipient rather than being broadly competed, and the posting indicates that one award was expected.
The purpose of the funding is to support permitting and the on-the-ground implementation of construction for an improved fish passage facility on Deer Creek, specifically associated with Lower Deer Creek Falls. In practical terms, the money is intended to move the project through the required regulatory approvals and into construction, improving upstream passage conditions for fish. A key driver for the work is the needs of threatened spring Chinook salmon, and the project designs were developed to align with both state and federal upstream fish passage criteria that apply to this species. The description also notes that the final implementation will incorporate additional technical direction provided by a Technical Team, and that this coordination will occur through a federal financial assistance agreement once related state funds are secured, suggesting the federal award is part of a broader, coordinated funding and oversight approach.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to for-profit organizations other than small businesses, which is a narrow applicant pool compared to many conservation grants. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $89,948, and the opportunity anticipated a single award at that level or below. The opportunity was created and posted on December 18, 2015, and the closing date for applications was December 25, 2015 (with the original and current closing dates the same), indicating a short application window. Overall, the opportunity is targeted, time-bound funding meant to advance a specific fish passage construction effort at Lower Deer Creek Falls, with explicit attention to compliance with established fish passage standards for threatened spring Chinook salmon and coordination with a technical team and state funding commitments.
