Opportunity Summary:
The Operations and Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number LSRCP NOI 10 J017) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (CFDA 15.661). Its core purpose is to support coordinated work between the USFWS Lower Snake River Compensation Plan Office and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game so the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan objectives are carried out within Idaho. In practical terms, the award funds the day-to-day operation and maintenance of a network of Idaho fish production facilities used to rear anadromous fish (Chinook salmon and steelhead) as mitigation for losses associated with the lower Snake River hydro projects.
The work scope centers on running and maintaining several major hatcheries and their satellite sites. The primary facilities listed are the McCall, Sawtooth, Magic Valley, and Clearwater Fish Hatcheries, supported by satellite facilities at South Fork, East Fork, Crooked River, Red River, and Powell. The opportunity anticipates a structured interchange of services, staff, equipment, facilities, and funds among the cooperating parties, which is typical of a cooperative agreement where the federal agency expects substantial involvement in the effort rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant.
The biological performance goal is clearly framed in terms of mitigation outcomes in the Snake River basin. IDFG is expected to rear enough Chinook salmon and steelhead smolts so that returning adults meet specific numeric targets: 8,000 summer Chinook, 31,432 spring Chinook, and 25,260 steelhead adults returning to the Snake River basin. These targets reflect the program's compensation mandate, meaning the hatchery outputs are intended to offset documented fish losses tied to the lower Snake River projects.
Funding is essentially a single, directed award. The announcement lists one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $3,944,178, and both the award ceiling and floor are also stated as $3,944,178, indicating a fixed award amount for the planned recipient under the notice. The eligibility language makes it clear this is a notice of intent to award to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, citing that IDFG is uniquely qualified because it already manages the relevant LSRCP facilities in Idaho. The notice also references the legal authorities underpinning the effort, including 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 authorize and direct USFWS to work with state and federal agencies and tribes to develop and implement fish production programs that achieve mitigation returns.
Administratively, 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. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed. The federal agency is the Fish and Wildlife Service, the activity category is Natural Resources, and the instrument type is a cooperative agreement.
