Opportunity Summary:
The Sacramento River Redd Dewatering Assessment is a small, pilot grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through its Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), which operates under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act program authorities (CFDA 15.648). The purpose of the award is to fund a focused field assessment on the mainstem Sacramento River in Northern California to identify when and where fall-run Chinook salmon redds (spawning nests) are being dewatered. In practical terms, the project is meant to generate on-the-ground survey information that pinpoints the seasons, river reaches, and specific locations where redds that were placed in wetted habitat later end up exposed or left without sufficient flow, which can threaten egg and alevin survival. The Sacramento River is emphasized because it is the primary area for natural spawning of fall Chinook salmon in the Sacramento watershed, so even a limited assessment can produce information with outsized value for understanding and reducing impacts to a key population.
This opportunity was posted June 9, 2010 and closed June 23, 2010, with the announcement archived July 23, 2010. It is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally signals that the agency expects to be involved in the project in a more collaborative way than a standard grant (for example, coordinating survey approaches, data needs, or reporting expectations). Only one award was anticipated, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000. The award ceiling was $15,000 and the award floor was $0, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal match to be considered.
Eligibility was broadly open (unrestricted) to most entity types, but the notice explicitly states that applications from federal agencies or federal employees could not be considered. The funded work was categorized under natural resources and was framed specifically as a pilot assessment, suggesting the intent was to collect initial baseline information that could guide future management actions, inform flow and ramping discussions, or support subsequent, larger monitoring efforts. Questions or access issues for the full announcement were directed to Tricia Parker, Fish Biologist, at 530-527-3043 x248 or via email at TriciaParker@fws.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Sacramento River Redd Dewatering Assessment
What is the Sacramento River Redd Dewatering Assessment grant opportunity?
It is a small, pilot grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) through its Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), operating under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act program authorities (CFDA 15.648). The award is intended to fund a focused field assessment on the mainstem Sacramento River in Northern California.
What is the purpose of this grant?
The purpose is to generate on-the-ground field information identifying when and where fall-run Chinook salmon redds (spawning nests) are being dewatered. The assessment is meant to pinpoint the seasons, river reaches, and specific locations where redds that were initially placed in wetted habitat later become exposed or lack sufficient flow, which can threaten egg and alevin survival.
What does "redd dewatering" mean in this context?
In this context, redd dewatering refers to situations where salmon redds that were built in areas with water coverage later end up exposed or without enough flow due to changing river conditions. This can create risks for eggs and alevins developing within the redds.
Where will the assessment take place?
The work is focused on the mainstem Sacramento River in Northern California.
Why is the Sacramento River the focus of this pilot assessment?
The Sacramento River is emphasized because it is the primary area for natural spawning of fall Chinook salmon in the Sacramento watershed. The notice indicates that even a limited, pilot assessment can produce information with outsized value for understanding and reducing impacts to a key population.
What types of activities is this funding meant to support?
The funding is intended to support a focused field assessment that produces survey information identifying where and when redds are dewatered. The notice frames the project as an on-the-ground survey effort designed to locate and document dewatered redd conditions in relation to seasons, reaches, and specific sites.
Is this a full-scale monitoring program or a pilot effort?
This opportunity is explicitly framed as a pilot assessment, suggesting it is meant to collect initial baseline information that could guide future management actions, inform flow and ramping discussions, or support subsequent, larger monitoring efforts.
What federal program is offering the funding?
The opportunity is offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through the Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP) under Central Valley Project Improvement Act program authorities (CFDA 15.648).
What is the funding instrument for this opportunity?
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. This generally signals that the agency expects to be involved in the project in a collaborative way, such as coordinating survey approaches, data needs, or reporting expectations, rather than making an award with minimal agency involvement.
How much funding was available?
The estimated total funding amount was $15,000.
What was the maximum award amount (ceiling)?
The award ceiling was $15,000.
What was the minimum award amount (floor)?

Who can be contacted for questions or access issues related to the full announcement?
Questions or access issues for the full announcement were directed to Tricia Parker, Fish Biologist, at 530-527-3043 x248 or via email at TriciaParker@fws.gov.
What kinds of project outcomes were implied by the notice?
The notice indicates the project is intended to produce survey information that identifies the seasons, reaches, and specific locations where redds become dewatered. It also suggests the resulting baseline information could help guide future management actions and support later monitoring efforts.
Does the opportunity indicate why the information from a small pilot could matter?
Yes. The notice states the Sacramento River is the primary area for natural spawning of fall Chinook salmon in the Sacramento watershed, so the information from even a limited assessment can be especially valuable for understanding and reducing impacts to an important population.
