Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "L 1 Diversion Dam Elimination on the Lemhi River, Lemhi Subbasin" (Funding Opportunity Number R13AS10011) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region. It is a discretionary natural-resources funding action structured as a cooperative agreement, with the agency intending to make a single award. The total anticipated funding is $303,416, and the award ceiling is also $303,416 (with an award floor listed as $1). No cost sharing or matching requirement is included, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award.
The purpose of the project is to support stream habitat improvements in the Upper Salmon Region, specifically within Idaho's Lemhi Subbasin, by eliminating a diversion dam on the Lemhi River. The project is associated with Trout Unlimited (TU), and the core public benefit is improved conditions for anadromous fish populations and other native, imperiled species. In practical terms, the work is meant to improve access to spawning and juvenile rearing habitats, reduce entrainment (the accidental pulling of fish into diversion structures), increase streamflow in key reaches, and improve fish passage. By restoring connectivity and improving habitat quality and quantity, the project targets benefits for species explicitly named in the announcement: spring Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and bull trout, all of which have significant conservation concern in the region.
A key administrative detail is that this announcement was explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it served as public notice that the Bureau of Reclamation intended to fund this specific project without full and open competition. Although the eligible applicant category is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the non-competitive nature indicates the agency had already identified the intended project partner and was providing transparency rather than soliciting proposals broadly. The opportunity was posted and created on June 14, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and it was archived on July 28, 2013. The CFDA program reference is 15.517, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, which aligns with the habitat improvement and fish and wildlife coordination goals described.
