Opportunity Summary:
The Mill Creek Fish Passage Assessment and Restoration Project, Phase 1 is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) through the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), cataloged under CFDA 15.648. The work focuses on Mill Creek, a tributary to the Upper Sacramento River near Los Molinos in southeastern Tehama County, California, and is aimed at improving fish passage conditions by evaluating existing barriers and preparing an engineered path forward for repairs or upgrades.
Phase 1 funding is intended to support a package of planning and design tasks rather than on-the-ground construction. Applicants are asked to propose and carry out a fish passage assessment, which would document current conditions and identify passage issues affecting fish movement. Building on that assessment, the project must develop a range of feasible alternatives to address any problems found, including potential repairs or modifications to diversion structures, fish ladders, and fish screens. After alternatives are developed, the process calls for selecting a preferred option through a Technical Advisory Committee, and then producing a final engineered design paired with an engineers cost estimate for the chosen repairs and/or modifications. In addition, proposals must include development of a Quality Control plan that governs how data will be collected, managed, and analyzed to ensure the technical work is reliable and defensible.
The maximum award amount (award ceiling) for this opportunity is $200,000, with no stated minimum award (award floor of $0), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity area is natural resources, consistent with AFRP goals related to restoring and improving habitat and passage for anadromous fish in the Central Valley system.
Eligibility is limited in a key way: applications from federal agencies, or from employees of federal agencies, are not considered. The notice indicates that eligible applicants fall under an "Others" category with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full announcement, so non-federal entities such as state or local agencies, tribes, non-profits, academic institutions, or other qualified organizations would typically look to the full eligibility language to confirm fit.
Key administrative details include Funding Opportunity Number AFRP N11 01. The opportunity was posted March 17, 2011, with an application closing date of April 20, 2011 (original and current closing date the same), and it was archived May 20, 2011. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Brenda Olson, Fish Biologist, at 530-527-3043 or BrendaOlson@fws.gov.
