Opportunity Summary:
The Phase I Lower Antelope Creek Geomorphology/Fish Passage Assessment grant (Funding Opportunity Number NFPP 09 N01) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) through the Red Bluff Fish and Wildlife Office under the National Fish Passage Program. The purpose of the funding is to support a focused, on-the-ground assessment of lower Antelope Creek and the related valley floor forks to address fish passage problems affecting adult and juvenile salmonids. Although the full announcement reportedly contains the word "Draft," the agency notes that the announcement is actually final as of 5/19/2009.
The funded work is intended to evaluate the creek's geomorphology and flow distribution and then determine whether it is feasible to concentrate flow into a single primary channel or pursue other practical alternatives that would improve passage conditions. In other words, the project is meant to diagnose what is happening in the lower creek system (channel form, sediment and flow patterns, and how those conditions affect movement of fish) and then translate that analysis into realistic options for fixing barriers or difficult passage reaches. A key point is that this is a Phase I assessment designed to lead directly toward a later implementation project based on the remedy the assessment recommends.
The opportunity was posted May 6, 2009, with a creation date of May 19, 2009, and a closing date of May 29, 2009. The award ceiling is $100,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor $0), and there is no cost share or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity area is listed under environment and natural resources (CFDA listed as 00.000, Not Elsewhere Classified, in the provided source data).
Eligibility is described as unrestricted in general, but with a significant practical limitation: applicants must have a background in watershed management, water rights, and geomorphologic/fish passage analysis tools and methods, and must be able to coordinate projects that occur on private land. The announcement also clearly states that applications from federal agencies or federal employees cannot be considered. This framing signals that USFWS is looking for applicants with both technical capacity (geomorphology and fish passage assessment competence) and the real-world ability to work with landowners and navigate water rights and access issues that commonly shape restoration feasibility.

What program is this funding associated with?
The opportunity is offered under the National Fish Passage Program.
What is the main purpose of the funded project?
The purpose is to evaluate conditions in lower Antelope Creek (and the related valley floor forks) that affect fish passage, focusing on geomorphology and flow distribution, and then translate those findings into feasible, practical options to improve passage conditions for salmonids.
What kinds of fish are specifically mentioned as being affected?

Is this grant for construction or implementation of fish passage fixes?
Based on the provided information, this opportunity is a Phase I assessment designed to lead directly toward a later implementation project. The focus is on assessment and identifying feasible remedies rather than implementing the remedies in this phase.
Why is it described as a "Phase I" project?
It is described as Phase I because it is an initial assessment that is intended to directly inform and lead toward a later implementation project based on the recommended remedy from the assessment.
Where will the work take place?
The work is focused on lower Antelope Creek and the related valley floor forks.
What is the maximum amount that can be awarded?
The award ceiling is $100,000.
Is there a minimum award amount?

Does the project need to involve coordination on private land?
Yes. The eligibility framing indicates applicants must be able to coordinate projects that occur on private land, suggesting that landowner coordination and access considerations are important to successfully completing the assessment.
What is the intended outcome of the assessment?
The intended outcome is a clear understanding of how geomorphology and flow distribution affect fish movement in the lower creek system, along with feasible, practical alternatives (such as concentrating flow into a single primary channel or other options) to improve fish passage conditions and support a later implementation project.
