Opportunity Summary:
The Hualapai Tribe Nonnative Fish Removal Work grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R12SS40002) was a Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region cooperative agreement intended to support work connected to the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP). GCDAMP exists to guide long-term preservation and management of Grand Canyon cultural and natural resources in line with the Grand Canyon Protection Act of 1992 and the National Historic Preservation Act. In this specific effort, Reclamation was conducting removal of nonnative fish in the Colorado River below Lees Ferry, Arizona, with the conservation goal of reducing predation pressure on the humpback chub, a federally listed endangered species.
A central feature of the project was addressing tribal concerns about the taking of life in an area of strong cultural importance. Several Tribes raised concerns about fish being killed during removal operations, and the Hualapai Tribe agreed to provide a culturally responsive alternative by taking possession of the nonnative fish once captured. The Tribe would then transport the fish to fishing ponds, where they would be stocked for fishing rather than simply disposed of. The description also emphasizes the Tribe's long-standing role in the adaptive management program: since 1994, the Hualapai Tribe has been a consulting signatory to GCDAMP, helping ensure tribal values are represented and that government-to-government consultation occurs when federal actions may affect resources important to the Tribe. Consistent with that role, the announcement notes it is within the Hualapai Tribe's discretion to accept and dispose of the fish as they consider prudent.
Administratively, this was a discretionary, environmental funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, tied to CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000, and both the award ceiling and maximum were listed at $300,000 (with an award floor of $1). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting and creation date were November 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of November 30, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on December 1, 2011. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full text of the announcement. The listed point of contact was Grants Officer Melynda Roberts at 801-524-3727.
