Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), through its Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), issued a notice of intent for a single source cooperative agreement titled "Restoration at Lovers Leap on the Stanislaus River, CA" (Funding Opportunity Number AFRP 1005). The purpose of this award is to support restoration actions that improve habitat for anadromous fish, particularly salmonids, in the Stanislaus River system in California, consistent with Section 3406(b)(1) of the CVPIA, which authorizes fish and wildlife restoration efforts connected to Central Valley Project impacts.
The project is focused on two closely related habitat needs for anadromous salmonids: rebuilding functional floodplain and side channel habitat, and ensuring the availability of clean spawning gravel in appropriate size ranges. Floodplains and side channels are important because they provide slower water, refuge during high flows, and productive feeding areas for juvenile fish, while suitable gravel is essential for successful spawning and egg incubation. By targeting both habitat complexity (floodplain and side channels) and substrate quality (spawning gravels), the effort is aimed at improving conditions that support multiple life stages of salmonids in the Stanislaus River.
The funding is set at a total of $200,000, with an award floor and ceiling both listed as $200,000, indicating a single fixed-size award rather than a range. USFWS expects to make one award. The assistance mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means USFWS anticipates having substantial involvement in the project as it progresses, such as coordination, oversight, and participation in key decisions, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
This specific funding is intended for Phase I of the overall restoration effort. Phase I activities include project planning, outreach, engineering design, and environmental permitting. In practical terms, that means the award supports the up-front work required to develop a buildable restoration plan: engaging stakeholders and the local community, completing technical designs and engineering analyses, and securing necessary environmental compliance and permits before any construction or on-the-ground habitat modification occurs. The opportunity also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, though the summary does not specify the match percentage or allowable sources, implying applicants would need to consult the full announcement for those details.
Eligibility is framed as a notice of intent to award, and the description specifies River Mine, LLC as the intended recipient under a single source approach. That language signals this is not a typical open competition; instead, it is effectively a public posting that the agency plans to fund a particular entity for this specific restoration purpose, with "Others" listed under eligible applicants but clarified by the notice-of-intent context.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted April 21, 2010, with an application closing date of May 5, 2010, and it was archived June 4, 2010. The CFDA program identifier associated with the funding is 15.648 (Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program). For applicants or interested parties needing the complete announcement and required forms, the posting instructs users to access the application materials via the "Application" tab and download both the application instructions and the application package. For technical difficulties obtaining the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Dwight (Ike) Luginbill, Grants/Agreements Assistant, at 209-946-6400 x340, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
