Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Operation" (Funding Opportunity Number NWP 14 0010), was issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District, under the Department of the Army. It is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls within the Natural Resources activity category. The announcement was posted on May 1, 2014, with an application closing date of May 26, 2014, and it was later archived on June 25, 2014. USACE anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,008,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. While the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0 (which often reflects how the notice is formatted rather than the true intended amount), the total estimated funding indicates the planned scale of the agreement.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support the operation, maintenance, monitoring, and evaluation of two fish hatchery facilities in Washington State: Priest Rapids Fish Hatchery in Mattawa, Washington, and Ringold Springs Fish Hatchery in Mesa, Washington. The work is designed to meet mitigation requirements tied to USACE Portland District projects, specifically addressing impacts to fish populations associated with the construction and operation of federal water resources projects. In practical terms, the hatchery operations funded through this agreement focus on producing and releasing juvenile fish as a way to compensate for "lost adult returns," meaning adult fish that would have returned and contributed to natural spawning runs but were reduced due to habitat changes and other project-related impacts.
A key feature of this opportunity is that USACE intended to make the award on a sole-source basis to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and eligibility is therefore limited to state governments, with WDFW identified as the intended recipient. This is also described as a continuation of an existing cooperative agreement (W9127N 09 2 0011), signaling that the agency viewed the work as ongoing and best carried out by the same state partner already responsible for these hatchery mitigation activities. Cooperative agreements are commonly used when the federal agency expects to remain substantially involved in the funded work, which aligns with the long-term oversight and coordination typically required for mitigation hatchery programs.
The legal authority cited for entering into the agreement is the Flood Control Act of 1950 (Public Law 516, 81st Congress), referenced alongside H. Doc. 531 from the 81st Congress, 2nd Session (1949). That citation indicates the mitigation hatchery operations are not simply discretionary conservation spending, but are connected to formal federal mitigation obligations stemming from authorized projects and supporting documentation.
