Opportunity Summary:
The Operations and Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number LSRCP NOI 11 J017) 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 a coordinated working relationship between the USFWS LSRCP Office and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) so the LSRCP objectives can be carried out within Idaho. In practical terms, the funding is meant to keep key hatchery and satellite facilities running day to day by enabling an organized exchange of staff support, services, equipment, facilities, and funds across the cooperating partners.
The funded work focuses on the operation and maintenance of several major fish production sites in Idaho: the Clearwater, Magic Valley, McCall, and Sawtooth Fish Hatcheries, along with associated satellite facilities at South Fork, East Fork, Crooked River, Red River, and Powell. IDFG is expected to operate and maintain these facilities as the on-the-ground manager, ensuring that infrastructure, fish culture operations, and related logistics function reliably and consistently. The production goal is explicitly tied to mitigation: rearing sufficient numbers of Chinook salmon and steelhead smolts so that adult returns to the Snake River basin can compensate for fish losses associated with lower Snake River projects. The target adult returns specified in the notice are 8,000 summer Chinook, 31,432 spring Chinook, and 25,260 steelhead.
This award is rooted in federal authority and long-standing mitigation direction. The notice 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 basis that authorizes and directs the USFWS LSRCP Office to work with state and federal agencies and tribes to develop and implement a program capable of producing enough Chinook and steelhead to offset project-related losses. The cooperative agreement structure fits that intent by emphasizing shared implementation and ongoing coordination rather than a simple pass-through grant.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award with a total estimated amount of $4,026,827, and both the award floor and ceiling were listed as the same amount, indicating the planned agreement size was fixed at that level. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on September 15, 2010, and closed on September 29, 2010, with an archive date of October 29, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.661 (Lower Snake River Compensation Plan).
Eligibility was effectively limited by design. While the listing references state governments and notes "Others" in a general eligibility field, the text clarifies that this was a notice of intent to award IDFG specifically, justified under departmental authority (cited as 505 DM 2.14(B4)). The rationale given is that IDFG is uniquely qualified because it manages the LSRCP facilities in Idaho, making it the logical and intended operator for this operations and maintenance work.
