Opportunity Summary:
The North Granlees Diversion Dam Fish Passage Improvement Project is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) through its Stockton Fish and Wildlife Office under the National Fish Passage Program. The goal is straightforward and highly targeted: provide funding to modify the existing fish ladder at the North Granlees Diversion Dam so it meets current federal and California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) hydraulic criteria for fish passage. In practical terms, the project is meant to improve how fish move past the dam by upgrading the ladder so it functions effectively across a wider range of river flows, reducing the kinds of migration delays and fish stranding problems that can occur when passage structures only work well under limited conditions.
The project is framed as a key ecological fix on the Cosumnes River because it is intended to remove what is described as the last remaining barrier to fish passage on that river system. The planned approach is to construct or modify a ladder design that includes appropriate jump heights between pools, which is a central performance feature for fish ladders. Proper jump heights and hydraulics help ensure fish can move upstream without excessive energy expenditure, injury risk, or failure to pass during variable flow conditions. By bringing the ladder into compliance with modern criteria, the project aims to make passage more reliable during different seasons and flow events, improving overall connectivity and supporting fish migration and habitat access.
Financially, the opportunity is a single-award grant with a total estimated funding amount of $150,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $150,000, which signals that the grant is essentially structured as one fixed-size award rather than a range of possible amounts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, making it easier for applicants that may not have additional funds available to leverage. The funding activity category is Environment and Natural Resources, and the opportunity is labeled with CFDA number 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which sometimes appears on listings that do not map cleanly into a more specific CFDA program code.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, with the caveat that applicants should still review any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement materials. The opportunity was posted on April 28, 2009, with an application deadline of May 15, 2009. It was later archived on June 14, 2009, indicating it is no longer open, but the details remain useful as a record of the project scope, funding level, and program intent.
For applicants or interested parties who need access to the complete announcement and required forms, the notice directs users to download the Application Instructions and the Application Package through the posting interface. If there are problems accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Dwight (Ike) Luginbill, Grants/Agreements Assistant at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 209-946-6400 extension 340.
