Mill Creek Riparian Assessment | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Mill Creek Riparian Assessment grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number AFRP N04 10) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), CFDA 15.648. The purpose of the award is to fund Phase I of a riparian assessment effort focused on the Mill Creek watershed in northern California. Mill Creek is identified as a tributary to the Upper Sacramento River near Los Molinos, in southeastern Tehama County, and the work is aimed at building a clear, mapped understanding of riparian habitat conditions and restoration needs in that watershed.

The project scope centers on assessment and planning activities rather than on-the-ground construction. Specifically, the funded work is expected to include riparian habitat and condition mapping, vegetation classification, and the development of restoration priorities for the Mill Creek watershed. In practical terms, this kind of Phase I effort typically produces baseline spatial data and interpretive products that help agencies and partners identify where riparian areas are intact, where they are degraded, what vegetation communities are present, and which locations should be prioritized for future restoration actions to benefit fish and associated aquatic and riparian ecosystems. Because the funding is tied to the Anadromous Fish Restoration Program, the underlying conservation intent is aligned with improving habitat conditions that support anadromous fish populations in the Sacramento River system, even though the immediate deliverables are assessment products.

The announcement anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 (the floor is listed as $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving the grant. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is Natural Resources.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to many types of applicants, with one key limitation stated explicitly: applications from federal agencies or federal employees cannot be considered. Any additional eligibility nuances would normally be found in the full announcement under “Additional Information on Eligibility,” but based on the provided text, the primary restriction is the exclusion of federal entities and personnel as applicants.

Key dates for the solicitation are also clear. The opportunity was posted and created on May 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2010, and an archive date of July 7, 2010. This indicates the solicitation window was relatively short, emphasizing the importance (at the time) of having a ready project narrative, budget, and technical approach for completing the Phase I assessment products within the program’s expectations.

For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Brenda Olson, Fish Biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 530-527-3043 or by email at BrendaOlson@fws.gov.
