Opportunity Summary:
The “Grande Ronde Subbasin Anadromous Fishery Habitat Improvement†notice (Funding Opportunity Number 10SS1S0035) was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement. Even though it appears in the format of a grant opportunity, the key point is that it was explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it served as a public notification that Reclamation intended to fund a specific set of project-planning and coordination activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency had already identified the partner it planned to work with.
The intended recipient and partner for the cooperative agreement was the USWCD (listed under eligible applicants as “special district governmentsâ€). The planned agreement, slated for 2010, focused on advancing habitat improvement efforts in the Grande Ronde Subbasin with the broader environmental and natural resources purpose of improving stream habitat conditions that support anadromous fish populations. The public purpose rationale, as stated in the notice, was to fund work that would lead to stream habitat improvements in the subbasin and, in turn, benefit anadromous fisheries.
The scope of work for the USWCD under this cooperative agreement centered on early-stage project development and coordination rather than construction-heavy implementation. The activities described included identifying potential habitat improvement projects across the Grande Ronde Subbasin, coordinating fish habitat projects with local constituents (which typically implies working with landowners, watershed groups, irrigation and drainage interests, local governments, and other stakeholders), and defining candidate projects in enough detail to allow Reclamation and other interested parties to evaluate them for future consideration and potential funding. In addition to this broader pipeline-building work, the agreement also called for completion of site-specific project objectives for two named efforts: the “LCD 1 Diversion Dam Replacement†and the “CC 37 Catherine Creek Stream Fish Habitat Restoration†projects. In practical terms, that kind of deliverable usually means clarifying goals, outlining design or performance objectives, and specifying what success would look like at those particular sites so that subsequent phases (design, permitting, construction, monitoring) can move forward more efficiently.
Financially, the notice listed an estimated total funding amount of $140,100, which also served as the award ceiling, and anticipated making a single award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The assistance was associated with CFDA 15.517, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, aligning the work with fish and wildlife habitat considerations in the context of water and land management actions. The posting date and creation date were both September 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 23, 2010, and an archive date of September 24, 2010, reflecting the short public notice window typical of announcements that are informational rather than competitive solicitations.
