Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Operations and Maintenance," is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP). Its purpose is to support coordinated work between the USFWS LSRCP Office and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to carry out the LSRCP mission within Oregon. The central focus is the day-to-day operation and maintenance of specific fish production facilities that contribute to mitigating fish losses associated with the lower Snake River federal hydropower projects.
The funded work is centered on keeping several hatchery and satellite facilities running effectively, including Lookingglass, Irrigon, and Wallowa Fish Hatcheries, along with the Little Sheep Creek, Big Canyon Creek, and Imnaha satellite facilities. The opportunity emphasizes a structured partnership where services, staff support, equipment, facilities, and funds can be shared or coordinated as needed to meet LSRCP objectives. In practical terms, it is about ensuring these facilities are properly operated, maintained, and staffed so they can reliably produce fish at the scale and quality required by the program.
The biological outcome target is clearly defined: ODFW will rear enough Chinook salmon and steelhead smolts so that adult returns to the Snake River basin reach compensation goals of 9,072 spring Chinook adults and 11,184 steelhead adults. These adult return targets represent the program's mitigation benchmark for losses attributed to the lower Snake River projects, and the hatchery operations supported by this award are part of the broader strategy to achieve those returns over time.
Funding for the opportunity is fixed at an estimated total of $2,749,951, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $2,749,951, indicating an intent to make a single award at that amount. The announcement lists one expected award and specifies no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant pool is limited to state governments, and the notice is explicitly a notice of intent to award to ODFW, citing that ODFW is uniquely qualified because it already manages the LSRCP facilities in Oregon.
The legal and programmatic authority for the work comes from the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-587) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-666). These authorities direct USFWS, through the LSRCP, to work with state and federal agencies and tribes to develop and implement fish production programs that replace or compensate for impacted fish runs. In this case, the cooperative agreement mechanism reflects the operational reality that Oregon's state fish and wildlife agency is the entity best positioned to run and maintain the facilities on the ground while coordinating with the federal LSRCP program office.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (FWS R1 LSRCP NOI 2OM), CFDA number 15.661 (Lower Snake River Compensation Plan), and timing information showing it was posted on Aug 31, 2011, with an original and current closing date of Sep 14, 2011, and an archive date of Oct 14, 2011. A point of contact was provided for access issues: Margaret Anderson, Cooperative Agreements Specialist, at 208-378-5299.
