Opportunity Summary:
The Riparian Enhancement Pilot Project at Hammond Bar on the Lower Yuba River (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00067) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Stockton Office, through the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP). The purpose of the award is narrowly focused on funding post-project monitoring for the Hammond (also spelled Hammon in the notice) Bar Riparian Restoration Pilot Project on the lower Yuba River in California. In practical terms, the grant supports field monitoring and evaluation work rather than new construction or restoration installation, with the monitoring results intended to guide and improve future riparian enhancement efforts.
USFWS states its intent to make a single-source (non-competitive) award to the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) under CVPIA Section 3407(e). The agency justifies the single-source approach on the basis that the work is a continuation of an ongoing project and that SYRCL is uniquely qualified to perform the monitoring due to its technical expertise and familiarity with the project’s goals, design, implementation history, and monitoring needs. SYRCL is expected to manage the funding and coordinate with project partners to complete the required post-project monitoring, while AFRP will continue to provide fisheries-related and permitting expertise to support the project team.
The central goal of the pilot effort being monitored is to evaluate the growth and survival of riparian trees established using two different planting methods on a point bar at Hammond Bar. The monitoring is meant to produce actionable information about which planting approach performs better under local riverine conditions, and how riparian vegetation establishment can be optimized. The broader ecological intent is to develop riparian enhancement strategies that specifically improve rearing habitat conditions for juvenile salmonids on the lower Yuba River, recognizing that riparian vegetation can influence shading, bank stability, organic input, and habitat complexity that benefit young fish.
The award amount is fixed at $28,620, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $28,620, and the notice indicates one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA program listing is 15.648 (Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP)). Eligible applicants are described generally as 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, though the notice is explicitly framed around the agency’s intent to award directly to SYRCL.
Key dates listed in the announcement include a posted/creation date of January 31, 2013, an original and current closing date of February 15, 2013, and an archive date of February 28, 2013. For access issues or administrative questions, the notice provides a point of contact: Dwight Luginbill, Grants Agreements Assistant, at 209-334-2968 ext. 340 and dwightluginbill@fws.gov, with Grants.gov referenced for the full announcement link.
