Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Juvenile Salmonid Habitat Restoration Downstream of Highway 20 Bridge, Yuba River CA" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00234) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) through the Lodi Fish and Wildlife Office (LFWO) under its Anadromous Fish Restoration Program. It is focused on natural resources work and is associated with CFDA number 15.648. The project being solicited is explicitly described as Phase 1 of a habitat restoration effort in the lower Yuba River in Yuba County, California, specifically in the area downstream of the Highway 20 Bridge.
The core purpose of the solicitation is to fund proposals that will restore side channel and/or floodplain habitat for juvenile salmonids. These habitats are important for young salmon and steelhead because they provide slower-water refuge from mainstem river flows, access to food-rich rearing areas, protection from predators, and seasonal connectivity that supports growth and survival before downstream migration. The opportunity notes that these habitats in the lower Yuba River have been degraded over time due to several major human-caused disturbances, including dam construction (which typically alters flow regimes and sediment supply), historic dredger mining (which can physically reshape river channels, remove or bury habitat features, and leave behind tailings), and other watershed activities that have collectively reduced the quantity and quality of functional floodplain and side channel environments.
Funding is offered as a grant, with an award ceiling of $1,700,000. The notice lists "ExpectedAwards: 0," which often signals that the agency did not specify a set number of awards in the posting or that it expected to make awards based on proposal quality and available funds rather than committing in advance to a particular count. The opportunity was created and posted on May 20, 2016, and the application closing date was July 11, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates are the same), indicating a single application window without extensions reflected in the source information.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple categories of applicants: state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), individuals, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. In practice, that breadth means the program was open to a wide range of potential implementers, from public agencies and tribes to private sector and community-based entities, as long as they could credibly carry out the Phase 1 restoration scope.
Overall, this is a targeted restoration solicitation aimed at reversing past riverine habitat impacts in the lower Yuba River by re-establishing or improving side channels and floodplain connectivity downstream of a known reference point (the Highway 20 Bridge). The intent is to produce measurable ecological benefits for juvenile salmonids by improving the physical and hydrologic conditions that support rearing and survival in that river reach, using grant funding administered through DOI-FWS and the LFWO Anadromous Fish Restoration Program.
