- There is not an application process for the Mill Creek Spring Chinook Salmon Hydoracoustic Study project. This is a notice of intent to award LGL Northwest Research Associates a grant up to 16,500 under justification 505 DM 2.14 (B2). The Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA Title 34 of Public Law 102 575, Section 3406(b)(1)) authorizes and directs the Secretary of the DOI, in consultation with other State and Federal agencies, Indian tribes, and affected interests, to develop and implement a program which makes all reasonable efforts to at least double natural production of anadromous fish in Central Valley rivers and streams. LGL Northwest Research Associates was recently under agreement and has collected fish passage data for the Mill Creek Hydroacoustic Study. The project to be funded is data analysis and writing the final report. LGL Northwest Research Associates is intimately familiar with the data collection techniques and fish target specifics therefore LGL Northwest Research Associates will provide project continuity to successfully complete the data analysis and write the final report. This project is to collect fish population data without handling fish on Mill Creek, a tributary to the Sacramento River near Los Molinos, CA.

Opportunity Summary:
The Mill Creek Spring Chinook Salmon Hydroacoustic Study grant opportunity is a small, targeted funding action under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), tied to the Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (CFDA 15.648). The purpose of the award is narrowly focused: it funds the analysis of already collected hydroacoustic fish passage data and the preparation of a final written report for the Mill Creek Spring Chinook Salmon Hydroacoustic Study. The work centers on Mill Creek, a tributary of the Sacramento River near Los Molinos, California, and it supports broader state and federal efforts to understand and rebuild Central Valley anadromous fish populations, including spring-run Chinook salmon.
This notice is not a typical open competition. It explicitly states there is no application process and functions as a notice of intent to award a grant to a single organization, LGL Northwest Research Associates, for up to $16,500. The justification provided is that LGL previously performed the field effort and data collection for the Mill Creek hydroacoustic study and is already deeply familiar with the site, the hydroacoustic methods used, and how the fish targets were identified and recorded. Because of that prior involvement, the agency indicates LGL is uniquely positioned to provide continuity and complete the remaining tasks efficiently and accurately, specifically the technical data analysis and the final reporting deliverable. The authority cited for making this award aligns with CVPIA direction (Title 34 of Public Law 102-575, Section 3406(b)(1)), which instructs the Department of the Interior, in coordination with other partners, to implement a program making all reasonable efforts to at least double natural production of anadromous fish in Central Valley rivers and streams.
The funded activity falls under the Natural Resources category and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The total estimated funding is $16,500, with an expected number of awards of one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting and closing dates show this was a time-limited federal notice published on August 2, 2010, with a closing date of August 16, 2010, and an archive date of September 15, 2010. While the announcement notes eligible applicants as "Others" with additional eligibility details, the practical effect is that the award is intended for the named recipient due to the continuity and specialized familiarity required to complete the analysis and final report.
A key operational detail in the project description is that the study involves collecting fish population data without handling fish, which is consistent with hydroacoustic approaches that estimate passage or presence using sonar-based techniques rather than physical capture. USFWS also clarifies its expected role: no substantial federal involvement is anticipated beyond standard stewardship responsibilities such as monitoring performance and offering technical assistance if requested by the recipient. For questions or access issues related to the announcement, the listed agency contact is Brenda Olson, Fish Biologist, at 530-527-3043 or BrendaOlson@fws.gov.
