Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Management, Coordination and Planning Activities Associated With the LCD 5, LCD 6 and CC M 44 Habitat Improvment Projects in the Grande Ronde Subbasin" is a discretionary funding action issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, under Funding Opportunity Number 11SS10002. It was posted on July 29, 2011, with an original and final closing date of August 12, 2011, and it was archived on August 13, 2011. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, and it falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category, with program alignment to CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). The announcement anticipates a single award with a total estimated funding amount of $72,431, which is also listed as the award ceiling. No cost sharing or matching is required, and the eligible applicant category is special district governments.
A key point of this notice is that it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation's intent to enter into a Cooperative Agreement specifically with the Union Soil and Water Conservation District (USWCD). In practical terms, this means the agency has already identified the intended partner and is formally announcing that intention rather than inviting proposals from other organizations. The purpose of the agreement is for USWCD to provide management, coordination, and planning support tied to the development of three habitat improvement projects identified as LCD 5, LCD 6, and CC M 44 within the Grande Ronde Subbasin.
The work described focuses on early-stage and enabling activities that help move habitat improvement projects from concept toward implementation. USWCD's role is framed around project management and coordination, which typically includes organizing project schedules and milestones, coordinating with landowners and local stakeholders, aligning engineering and environmental planning needs, and helping ensure that the projects are prepared for eventual construction or on-the-ground actions. The planning component suggests attention to designing or refining actions that will improve aquatic habitat conditions, including coordination around permitting, compliance considerations, and technical planning needed to support habitat restoration.
From a resource and conservation standpoint, the expected outcomes center on restoring fish passage and increasing habitat complexity in tributaries within the Grande Ronde Subbasin. The announcement emphasizes benefits to anadromous fisheries, with anticipated improvements including better access to spawning and rearing areas, reduced entrainment (which generally refers to fish being drawn into irrigation diversions or other structures), increased streamflow in relevant reaches, and overall improvements to fish passage. The broader ecological goal is to improve the quantity and quality of habitat for native fish species that are identified as endangered or otherwise sensitive in the region, specifically spring Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and bull trout. In short, the funding supports the management and planning backbone needed to advance three named habitat projects, with the intended downstream effect of improving connectivity and habitat conditions for at-risk native fish populations.
