Opportunity Summary:
The SCOTT RIVER WATER TRUST opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00346) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant focused on natural resource conservation through voluntary, temporary water leasing. The project is designed to fund the Scott River Water Trust so it can negotiate short-term agreements with willing landowners in the Scott River watershed. Under these agreements, landowners are paid a negotiated rate to temporarily refrain from diverting surface water at specific diversion points for an agreed-upon period. The practical result is that water stays in the river during critical times, improving in-stream flows and habitat conditions.
The conservation goal is straightforward: keep more water in the Scott River to support sensitive fish species, specifically Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and Steelhead. In-stream flow can be a limiting factor for these species, especially during low-water periods when reduced flows can raise water temperatures, shrink available habitat, and make migration and rearing more difficult. By compensating landowners for foregone diversions rather than requiring permanent water right changes, the program aims to create a flexible tool that can be targeted to the times and places where additional flow provides the most benefit to fish.
From an administrative standpoint, this announcement is not an open competition. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent and states that it has already been awarded to the Scott River Water Trust. The posting date and creation date are both August 1, 2014, and the original and current closing dates reiterate that the award has already been made. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total funding of $30,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are set at $30,000, meaning the intended grant amount is fixed at that level. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
The grant is associated with CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. While the eligibility field notes "Others" and points to additional eligibility details, the listing clarifies that this specific action has been awarded to the Scott River Water Trust, effectively making them the sole intended recipient for this funding action rather than inviting applications from other entities.

How does the voluntary, temporary water leasing approach work?
