Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Modification to Watershed Rehabilitation and Sediment Control" (Funding Opportunity Number R14AN20028), is a continuation-type action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region. Rather than being an open, competitive solicitation, it is a notice of intent to modify an existing grant agreement (R12AP20020) with a specific recipient: the Trinity County Resource Conservation District. The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is environmental work, and the notice indicates the agency expects to make only one award.
The underlying grant supports watershed rehabilitation and sediment source control projects within the Trinity River watershed, specifically those projects that have been identified and approved by the Trinity River Watershed Council. The modification described in this notice expands or adjusts the existing scope of work by adding implementation of four additional projects. These added projects are framed as necessary to improve aquatic habitat conditions in the Trinity River system, primarily by reducing the delivery of fine sediment from the surrounding watershed into the river. Fine sediment is a common driver of habitat degradation in river systems because it can fill in spawning gravels, reduce oxygen flow to fish eggs, smother benthic habitat, and generally simplify or degrade the riverbed conditions that many aquatic species depend on.
In addition to fine sediment control, the modification emphasizes improving fish passage by removing barriers within the watershed. Fish passage barrier removal typically targets problems like undersized or perched culverts, failing road crossings, small dams, or other structures that block or limit migration. Addressing these barriers can reconnect habitat, allow fish to access spawning and rearing areas, and improve overall watershed function. The notice also states that the modification adds a project selection objective, meaning the agreement is being updated not only to include more projects, but also to refine how projects are chosen or prioritized under the program going forward.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $720,000, with an award ceiling and award floor both set at $720,000, which effectively signals a single, fixed funding amount for this modification. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.532, identified as "Central Valley Project, Trinity River Division, Trinity River Fish and Wildlife Management," which ties the work to federal fish and wildlife management responsibilities and restoration actions associated with the Trinity River Division.
From an administrative standpoint, the System for Award Management (SAM) requirements apply to this action, and the notice directs readers to www.sam.gov for registration information. Key dates shown in the posting indicate it was posted and created on September 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 18, 2014, and an archive date of September 19, 2014. Questions about the notice are directed to Robert Lowry, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at rlowry@usbr.gov, and he is also listed as the contact if someone has trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
Eligibility is narrowly defined for this particular action. While the general eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others," the specific eligibility information clarifies that the intended and eligible applicant is the Trinity County Resource Conservation District, consistent with the notice being a continuation/modification to an existing agreement rather than a new open call for applications.
