Opportunity Summary:
The Kahana Stream Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00281) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The project is focused on the lower reaches of Kahana Stream on Oahu, where conditions have deteriorated compared with the upper stream system, which still retains relatively high quality aquatic habitat. The main purpose is to restore and improve fish and invertebrate passage, rebuild degraded habitat, and improve water quality by targeting problems in the lower corridor that currently limit native aquatic species.
The core restoration strategy is riparian and channel rehabilitation centered on invasive vegetation management. In the lower stream reaches, hau bush (Hibiscus tiliaceus) has become so dense that it has effectively overgrown the stream channel. This overgrowth has reduced the amount and quality of in-stream habitat available to native aquatic organisms and has also created unnatural barriers that interfere with upstream migration. The work described in the opportunity emphasizes removing and controlling this invasive vegetation and then re-establishing a riparian plant community dominated by native species. By opening up the channel and restoring native riparian cover, the project is intended to improve habitat structure, reduce blockages to movement, and enhance the physical and chemical conditions of the stream and adjacent riparian zone.
The anticipated public benefits are framed broadly in terms of ecological function and human use. Ecologically, the project aims to restore habitat connectivity so fish and invertebrates can move through the lower stream reaches more easily, supporting healthier populations and better use of the upstream habitat that remains in good condition. From a community and resource perspective, the project is expected to increase production of fish and invertebrates that have recreational, commercial, and cultural importance, while also improving overall watershed conditions within the Kahana watershed by enhancing the central stream channel and riparian zone characteristics.
In terms of funding and eligibility, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $70,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling (with an award floor of $0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were limited to state governments. The opportunity was posted and created on July 30, 2013, with an application closing date of August 5, 2013. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov, and the listed contact for access issues or questions was Paulette Reyes (808-792-9447, PauletteReyes@fws.gov).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Kahana Stream Restoration Project (F13AS00281)
What is the Kahana Stream Restoration Project grant opportunity?
The Kahana Stream Restoration Project is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number (FON) F13AS00281 and falls under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance.
Which federal agency is offering this funding?
This opportunity is offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
What type of funding instrument is this?
The opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement.
What is the CFDA program associated with this opportunity?
The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance.
Where will the project take place?
The project is focused on the lower reaches of Kahana Stream on Oahu, within the Kahana watershed.
Why is restoration needed in the lower reaches of Kahana Stream?
Conditions in the lower stream corridor have deteriorated compared with the upper stream system, which still retains relatively high quality aquatic habitat. The lower corridor currently limits native aquatic species by degrading habitat, reducing water quality, and restricting movement (passage) through the stream.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The purpose is to restore and improve fish and invertebrate passage, rebuild degraded habitat, and improve water quality by targeting problems in the lower stream corridor that limit native aquatic species.
What restoration strategy is emphasized in the opportunity?
The core strategy is riparian and channel rehabilitation centered on invasive vegetation management, especially in the lower stream reaches.
What invasive vegetation problem is specifically identified?
The opportunity highlights dense overgrowth of hau bush (Hibiscus tiliaceus) in the lower stream reaches. The hau has become so dense it has effectively overgrown the stream channel.
How does hau bush overgrowth affect the stream?
According to the opportunity, the dense hau overgrowth reduces the amount and quality of in-stream habitat available to native aquatic organisms and creates unnatural barriers that interfere with upstream migration.
What kinds of on-the-ground activities are described?
The opportunity emphasizes removing and controlling invasive vegetation (hau bush) and then re-establishing a riparian plant community dominated by native species. The intent is to open up the channel and restore native riparian cover to improve stream and riparian conditions.
What outcomes are expected from removing invasive vegetation and restoring native riparian cover?
The described outcomes include improved habitat structure, fewer blockages to fish and invertebrate movement, and enhanced physical and chemical conditions of the stream and adjacent riparian zone.
How does the project support native aquatic species?
The project aims to restore habitat connectivity in the lower reaches so fish and invertebrates can move more easily, supporting healthier populations and enabling better use of upstream habitat that remains in good condition.
What public benefits are anticipated?
The opportunity frames public benefits in ecological and community/resource terms. It is expected to improve watershed conditions within the Kahana watershed and increase production of fish and invertebrates with recreational, commercial, and cultural importance.
How much funding is available?
The estimated total funding amount is $70,000.
What is the award ceiling and award floor?
The award ceiling is listed as $70,000, and the award floor is $0.
How many awards were anticipated?
The opportunity anticipated a single award.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The opportunity states there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Who was eligible to apply?
Eligible applicants were limited to state governments.
When was the opportunity posted?
The opportunity was posted and created on July 30, 2013.
What was the application closing date?
The application closing date was August 5, 2013.
Where could applicants find the full announcement and application details?
Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov.
Who is the point of contact for questions or access issues?
The listed contact was Paulette Reyes. Phone: 808-792-9447. Email: PauletteReyes@fws.gov.
What stream segment is the main focus of the restoration work?
The main focus is the lower corridor (lower reaches) of Kahana Stream, where invasive vegetation and degraded conditions are limiting habitat quality and passage.
What does the opportunity say about the upper stream system?
It notes that the upper stream system still retains relatively high quality aquatic habitat compared with the lower reaches.
