Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Operations and Maintenance" (Funding Opportunity Number: LSRCP NOI 11 J009) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP). Its purpose is to support coordinated, on-the-ground fish production work in Oregon that helps offset fish losses associated with the lower Snake River federal hydroelectric projects. The award is structured to formalize cooperation between the USFWS LSRCP Office and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) by allowing an organized exchange of services, staff, equipment, facilities, and funding needed to meet LSRCP production and mitigation goals.
At its core, the project funds the operation and maintenance of a network of hatchery and satellite facilities that ODFW runs in Oregon on behalf of the program. The primary sites specifically named are Lookingglass, Irrigon, and Wallowa fish hatcheries, along with the Little Sheep Creek, Big Canyon Creek, and Imnaha satellite facilities. These sites are used to rear anadromous fish, with the program focus on producing Chinook salmon and steelhead smolts in sufficient numbers and condition to survive migration and ultimately return as adults to the Snake River basin. The performance target described in the notice is to rear enough fish to achieve adult returns of 9,072 spring Chinook and 11,184 steelhead back to the basin, explicitly framed as compensation for fish losses tied to the lower Snake River projects.
The opportunity is tied to long-standing federal authority and mitigation responsibilities. It cites the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-587) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-666) as the legal foundation directing USFWS, through the LSRCP, to work with state and federal agencies and tribes to develop and implement fish-rearing programs that replace or compensate for project-related losses. In practical terms, this particular award is positioned as continued operational support rather than a broad, open competition for new projects, emphasizing the continuity of facility operations and the specialized management required to keep hatchery and satellite production functioning reliably.
Eligibility is effectively limited and intentioned for ODFW. While the listing includes state governments and an "Others" category with a note to see additional eligibility information, the notice clearly states it is a "notice of intent to award" ODFW up to the listed amount under an agency justification (505 DM 2.14(B4)). The justification is that ODFW is uniquely qualified because it manages the LSRCP facilities within Oregon, making it the logical entity to carry out the required day-to-day operations, fish culture activities, maintenance, and coordination inherent to the program.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $2,670,167, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $2,670,167, indicating a single, fixed expected award amount rather than a range. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.661 (Lower Snake River Compensation Plan). No cost sharing or matching is required, which means the federal funds are intended to cover the agreement amount without requiring ODFW to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
As a matter of timing and status, 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. The listing also notes "Expected Awards: 0," which in context aligns with the document being a notice of intent for a specific recipient rather than a competitive program expecting multiple new awards.
For administrative contact, the notice provides a point of contact for access issues: Margaret Anderson, Cooperative Agreements Specialist, at 208-378-5299. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted cooperative agreement to keep Oregon LSRCP hatchery and satellite infrastructure operating and maintained so the mitigation program can consistently produce Chinook and steelhead smolts and meet adult return goals intended to compensate for hydroproject-related impacts in the Snake River basin.
