Opportunity Summary:
The PICKERING FISH PASSAGE PROJECT is a Fish and Wildlife Service funding opportunity that supports construction of a fish passage structure on the La Plata River in San Juan County, New Mexico. Funded through the National Fish Passage Program, the project is designed to reconnect river habitat that has been cut off by manmade barriers. By restoring connectivity, the work aims to improve conditions for the roundtail chub (Gila robusta) and strengthen the overall native fish community by allowing fish to move more freely along the river.
The core problem the grant addresses is habitat fragmentation caused by diversion structures and other barriers that limit longitudinal movement (upstream and downstream travel). The proposed solution is to build a fish passage feature at the newly constructed Pickering ditch diversion structure. Once in place, this passage is intended to remove or reduce the obstruction effect of the diversion, enabling roundtail chub and other native species to reach higher-quality habitat and areas with more reliable, permanent flow. In practical terms, the grant focuses on a targeted construction action that improves access to refuges, feeding areas, and spawning or rearing habitat that may be unavailable when movement corridors are blocked.
This opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement under the natural resources funding category, meaning the federal agency typically expects to remain substantially involved in the project compared with a standard grant. The estimated total funding amount is $150,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $150,000, indicating a single, fixed-size award. One award was expected. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility was limited to state governments.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number FY2010 NMFWCO and CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). The announcement was posted on Oct 5, 2010, with an application closing date of Oct 12, 2010, and it was later archived on Nov 11, 2010. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Angela Carrillo, Administrative Officer, at 505-342-9900 or angelacarrillo@fws.gov.
