Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWSVENTURA 1106) is a Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant focused on restoring and improving the Cabin Bar Ranch pond so it can support a new, self-sustaining population of tui chub (Siphateles bicolor spp.) native to the southern Owens Valley. The core purpose is habitat restoration and long-term management of a privately owned aquatic site to benefit a native fish species, with the work carried out through coordination among the landowner (CG Roxane, LLC), the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
The proposed project centers on practical pond upgrades designed to make conditions suitable for native tui chub. Planned improvements include actions to enhance water quality, increase or stabilize water flow, and manage water depth, along with removing or controlling nonnative and invasive species that could compete with or prey on tui chub. Another major component is establishing native vegetation in and around the pond, which typically helps with shoreline stabilization, improves aquatic habitat structure, and can support better overall water conditions. After the pond is improved to an appropriate condition, CDFG would stock the site with tui chub sourced from the southern Owens Valley lineage, effectively creating an additional population in a managed setting.
Roles and responsibilities are clearly divided. CG Roxane, as the private landowner, is contributing the site itself and taking on the hands-on responsibilities of implementing habitat improvements and carrying out ongoing pond management aimed at supporting tui chub over time. CDFG and USFWS may support the effort by contributing services tied to technical planning and on-the-ground restoration tasks. Examples listed in the announcement include water quality analysis, assistance with nonnative species removal, help designing a system to manage water elevation and flow, support for establishing native vegetation, and measures to deter vandalism. Once habitat work is completed, CDFG would lead the stocking of tui chub, while both CDFG and USFWS would provide the needed authorizations for the landowner to maintain and manage the pond specifically for the benefit of the native fish.
Administratively, this was a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $31,000, and the award ceiling is also $31,000 (with no stated award floor). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants, Generic) and is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources. The announcement was posted July 13, 2011, with an original and final closing date of July 27, 2011, and it was archived on August 26, 2011.
Eligibility is narrowly defined because this was posted as a Notice of Intent to Award discretionary financial assistance to a single source without competition. The eligible applicant is the private landowner, and the grant was intended to be awarded to CG Roxane, LLC. For further information, the listed contact is Judy Hohman, Project Manager at USFWS, reachable at (805) 644-1766 ext 304 or judyhohman@fws.gov.
