Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act Entiat Subbasin Habitat Improvement Project (Preston Reach, Entiat Wells) is a Bureau of Reclamation (Pacific Northwest Region) funding notice issued to publicly announce the agency's intent to provide a single cooperative agreement award without full and open competition. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the announcement serves as a transparency and notice function rather than an invitation for new proposals. The effort is tied to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and is organized under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act program (CFDA 15.517), with the work falling in the Natural Resources activity category.
The project focuses on habitat improvement in the Entiat Subbasin within the broader Columbia and Snake River basins, with Cascadia Conservation District (CCD) acting as the project sponsor. In this role, CCD supports Reclamation by helping identify priority projects, securing funding, and assisting with implementation of actions that align with basin habitat objectives. The cooperative agreement bundles two on-the-ground projects: the Preston Reach Habitat Complexity Project on the Entiat River and the Entiat River Off Stream Wells Implementation Project. Together, these activities are meant to improve conditions for fish by restoring or improving passage and by addressing harmful effects linked to ongoing in-river maintenance and operational needs associated with diversion infrastructure.
The public benefits described in the notice center on improving access to spawning and rearing habitat and increasing both the quantity and quality of aquatic habitat for native, ESA-listed or otherwise imperiled fish species, specifically including Spring Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and bull trout. The work is also described as producing broader ecological and community outcomes, such as improved fish passage, better wildlife habitat, and enhanced public use of local rivers. A key theme in the announcement is that successful implementation requires heavy coordination because of complex technical and logistical issues and the project area's geography. Reclamation notes that finalizing and delivering the projects depends on collaboration across state and local governments, private landowners, nonprofit organizations, and multiple federal agencies, and that landowner and local organization coordination is essential to long-term success in the Entiat Subbasin.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary cooperative agreement with one expected award. The estimated total funding is $634,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are set at $634,000, indicating a single, fixed funding level for the planned award. No cost sharing or matching is required. The eligible applicant type is listed as county governments, though the notice’s purpose is to document Reclamation’s intent to fund specific activities rather than solicit competing applications. Key dates included: posted December 7, 2009; closing date December 24, 2009; archive date December 25, 2009. The funding opportunity number is 10RA10FW001, and the listed contact for access issues or questions is Bryant Lyndaker, Financial Assistance Officer (208-378-5138, blyndaker@usbr.gov).
