Opportunity Summary:
The Operations and Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number LSRCP NOI 11 J011) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP). Its purpose is to support coordinated work between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service LSRCP Office and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) to meet LSRCP goals in Washington State. The central focus is the ongoing operation and maintenance of key fish production and rearing facilities so that fish losses associated with lower Snake River hydroelectric projects can be offset through hatchery production and stocking.
The work funded under this opportunity is specifically tied to WDFW running a set of named facilities: Lyons Ferry Fish Hatchery, Tucannon Fish Hatchery, and three satellite sites (Dayton Pond, Curl Lake, and Cottonwood Creek Pond). The grant emphasizes practical, on-the-ground capacity: sharing and coordinating services, staff, equipment, facilities, and funds between the federal program and WDFW to keep these sites functioning effectively and aligned with LSRCP objectives. In other words, it is not a broad research or planning grant; it is a targeted operations and maintenance award meant to keep a production system running and producing fish at required levels.
The biological and production targets are clearly spelled out. WDFW is expected to operate these facilities to rear enough fish to achieve adult return goals to the Snake River basin of 18,300 fall Chinook, 1,152 spring Chinook, and 4,656 steelhead. In addition, the program includes a resident fish component: rearing 90,000 pounds of catchable trout. These outputs are framed explicitly as compensation for fish losses attributable to the lower Snake River projects, reflecting the mitigation purpose of the LSRCP rather than general fish enhancement.
Funding for the opportunity is fixed and structured as a single expected award. The estimated total funding is $2,429,685, and both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $2,429,685, indicating the agency anticipated one award at that amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the notice is a stated intent to award WDFW specifically, justified under departmental authority cited as 505 DM 2.14(B4). The announcement explains that WDFW is considered uniquely qualified because it manages the LSRCP facilities in Washington, which is why the opportunity is presented as an intent to award rather than an open competition among multiple applicants.
The legal basis for the program is rooted in federal mitigation and coordination authorities, 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). These authorities direct the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through the LSRCP, to work with state and federal agencies and tribal governments to develop and implement hatchery and rearing programs that produce Chinook and steelhead smolts in quantities sufficient to yield adult returns that compensate for project-related losses. The grant falls under CFDA number 15.661 (Lower Snake River Compensation Plan) and the funding activity category of Natural Resources.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on September 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 29, 2010, and an archive date of October 29, 2010.
