Opportunity Summary:
The Operations and Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number LSRCP NOI 10 J009) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP). Its central purpose is to support coordinated work between the USFWS LSRCP Office and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to carry out LSRCP goals within Oregon. In practical terms, the award is designed to keep key hatchery and satellite production facilities operating effectively by allowing an organized interchange of services, staff, equipment, facilities, and funding between the federal program and the state agency.
The funded work focuses on the ongoing operation and maintenance of multiple fish production sites in Oregon that are part of the LSRCP network. These include the Lookingglass, Irrigon, and Wallowa Fish Hatcheries, along with satellite facilities at Little Sheep Creek, Big Canyon Creek, and Imnaha. ODFW is responsible for running and maintaining these facilities, with the broader objective of producing (rearing) enough Chinook salmon and steelhead smolts to achieve specific adult return targets back to the Snake River basin. The performance goal described in the announcement is to support returns of 9,072 spring Chinook adults and 11,184 steelhead adults, helping compensate for fish losses associated with the lower Snake River hydroelectric projects.
This opportunity is explicitly targeted to ODFW as the recipient. The eligibility section states it is a notice of intent to award ODFW up to $2,604,129 under a sole-source justification (505 DM 2.14 (B4)), emphasizing that ODFW is uniquely qualified because it already manages the LSRCP facilities in Oregon. The underlying legal authority cited includes the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-587) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-666), which direct USFWS to work with state and federal partners and tribes to develop and implement fish production programs that offset project-related losses.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $2,604,129, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $2,604,129, indicating a single award at a fixed amount. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number is 15.661 (Lower Snake River Compensation Plan), and the activity category is Natural Resources. The opportunity was posted and created on September 18, 2009, with an original and current closing date of October 2, 2009, and an archive date of November 1, 2009.
The administering agency is the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the point of contact listed for access issues is Margaret Anderson, Cooperative Agreements Specialist, at 208-378-5299.
