Opportunity Summary:
The Operations and Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number LSRCP NOI 10 J011) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.661, the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan. Its purpose is to support coordinated work between the USFWS Lower Snake River Compensation Plan Office and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife so the program can meet its mandated compensation objectives in Washington state. In practice, the award is designed to keep key fish production and rearing infrastructure running day to day through an organized sharing of services, staff, equipment, facilities, and funding.
The work supported by the award centers on operating and maintaining a specific set of hatchery and satellite facilities that collectively produce fish intended to offset losses associated with the lower Snake River projects. The facilities covered are Lyons Ferry Fish Hatchery and Tucannon Fish Hatchery, along with satellite sites at Dayton Pond, Curl Lake, and Cottonwood Creek Pond. The main focus is not construction or research, but ongoing operations: ensuring these sites remain functional, staffed, equipped, and capable of meeting production targets tied directly to mitigation goals.
The production goals spelled out in the announcement are explicit and outcome-based. WDFW is expected to rear enough fish so that, after release and ocean/river survival, adult returns to the Snake River basin reach 18,300 fall Chinook, 1,152 spring Chinook, and 4,656 steelhead. In addition to the salmon and steelhead mitigation component, the facilities must also rear 90,000 pounds of catchable trout. Together, these targets reflect the program's larger intent: compensating for fish losses attributable to development and operation of federal water resource projects in the lower Snake River system.
Funding for the opportunity is fixed at $2,059,740, with the award floor and ceiling both set at the same amount, and the agency anticipates making a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the federal funding is not conditioned on the recipient contributing a specified non-federal share. The timeline provided indicates the opportunity was posted on September 18, 2009, with an application closing date of October 2, 2009, and an archive date of November 1, 2009.
Eligibility is effectively limited to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife through a notice of intent to award, justified under DOI guidance (505 DM 2.14 (B4)). The justification emphasizes that WDFW is uniquely qualified because it already manages the LSRCP facilities in Washington, and because the underlying federal authorities direct USFWS to work with state and federal agencies and tribes to implement hatchery-based mitigation. The legal basis 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 together provide the authorization and direction for this compensation program and the cooperative approach used to carry it out.
The administering agency is the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the activity category is Natural Resources. For applicants or stakeholders needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Margaret Anderson, Cooperative Agreements Specialist, at 208-378-5299.
