Opportunity Summary:
This grant posting is a Notice of Intent to Award (NOI) from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) indicating the agency plans to make a single, non-competitive grant award specifically to the Hoopa Valley Tribe. The announcement is explicit that no competition is expected and that other parties should not apply. The NOI is issued under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 DM 2.14(4), with additional justification referenced in the full announcement materials.
The underlying purpose of the funding relates to ongoing, long-running conflicts in the Klamath River Basin over limited water supplies and the restoration of fish populations and habitat. The notice describes how disputes among tribes, conservation interests, farmers, fishermen, and state and federal agencies have persisted for decades and have increasingly become a repeating cycle of crisis for local communities. In this context, the federal government identifies a strong national interest in supporting work that can inform decisions aimed at resolving or reducing these conflicts, particularly where fisheries and river management are involved.
A central driver for this specific award is anticipated decision-making about the four lower Klamath River hydroelectric dams. A proposal is expected to be submitted to the Secretary of the Interior for consideration of removing these dams. To support that decision, the notice states that biological information and modeling will be needed to analyze two dam management alternatives over a long planning horizon, described as 50 years beginning in 2020. In practical terms, this means the work supported by the award is intended to help develop and evaluate long-term ecological and fisheries outcomes associated with different management approaches, providing technical and scientific input that can be used in the federal review process.
The Hoopa Valley Tribe’s role, as described in the opportunity, is to assist with drafting, reviewing, and commenting on environmental review documents, specifically Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) studies. These documents are key components of major infrastructure and natural resource decisions because they compile scientific analysis, assess impacts, compare alternatives, and document public and stakeholder input. By supporting the Tribe’s participation, the award is positioned as a way to incorporate tribal expertise, interests, and review capacity into the broader environmental analysis tied to Klamath Basin dam management.
From an administrative standpoint, the award is structured as a discretionary grant with a research-oriented activity category (listed as "Other" with the explanation "Research"). The program is tied to CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The posting indicates there will be exactly one expected award, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $25,000, meaning the planned grant amount is $25,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is included, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
USFWS also clarifies the anticipated level of federal involvement after award. The notice states that no substantial involvement by the Service is expected for successful completion of the objectives. Instead, the agency expects its role to be limited to typical federal stewardship and grant oversight responsibilities, such as monitoring project performance and providing technical assistance if the recipient asks for it. This language signals that the Tribe would carry out the work with a relatively high degree of independence, with USFWS mainly ensuring the grant is administered properly and deliverables are tracked.
Key posting details include the funding opportunity number (FWS R8 YFWO 2010 SECDET 23), a posted date of September 21, 2010, and an original/current closing date of September 28, 2010, with an archive date of October 28, 2010. Even though a closing date is listed, the notice repeatedly emphasizes that the opportunity is not open for general competition and that applicants should not submit proposals. A point of contact is provided for access issues or questions about the announcement materials: John Hamilton (johnhamilton@fws.gov, 530-842-5763), with Penny Russell also listed as a contracting/agency contact.
