Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Stationary PIT Tag Detection System in the Maybell Canal" (Funding Opportunity Number R11SS40018) was a small, targeted discretionary grant from the Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, focused on environmental monitoring tied to endangered fish recovery work in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The core purpose was to support the use of a stationary PIT (Passive Integrated Transponder) tag detection system in the Maybell Ditch/Canal area to produce more conclusive data on entrainment of the Colorado pikeminnow, meaning whether and to what extent these fish are being drawn into, or carried into, diversion infrastructure rather than remaining in the main river. By using a stationary detection setup, the project aimed to capture consistent, repeatable detection information that can be difficult to obtain through intermittent field sampling alone, helping managers better understand impacts associated with water diversions and informing recovery and operational decisions.
A practical component of the project was the ongoing operational responsibility that comes with stationary monitoring equipment. The opportunity emphasized that the PIT detection system would require periodic inspections for routine maintenance and other operational needs, and that it was considered sensible for the recipient to conduct those inspections because they were already working in the project area on other duties. In other words, the award was structured around both deploying or operating the detection capability and ensuring it stayed functional through regular checks, minimizing downtime and improving the reliability of the resulting entrainment data.
Administratively, this funding was offered as a grant under the environment activity category, with an expected single award. The estimated total funding was $10,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000 and an award floor of $1. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The listing was associated with CFDA 15.529, "Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins Endangered Fish Recovery Programs," which aligns the work with broader multi-agency efforts to recover endangered fish species in these river basins. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that would have appeared in the full announcement.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on August 4, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2011, and it was archived on August 19, 2011. The point of contact listed for access issues with the full announcement was Melynda Roberts, Grants Specialist, reachable by phone at 801-524-3727 (an email address was referenced but not fully included in the provided text).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title and funding opportunity number for this grant?
The opportunity is titled "Stationary PIT Tag Detection System in the Maybell Canal" and the Funding Opportunity Number is R11SS40018.
Which federal agency offered this grant?
This was a discretionary grant opportunity from the Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The purpose was to support the use of a stationary PIT (Passive Integrated Transponder) tag detection system in the Maybell Ditch/Canal area to produce more conclusive data on entrainment of the Colorado pikeminnow. In this context, entrainment refers to whether and to what extent fish are drawn into, or carried into, diversion infrastructure rather than remaining in the main river.
What kind of monitoring approach does this project emphasize?
The project emphasizes stationary PIT tag detection (a fixed detection setup) to capture consistent, repeatable detection information. This is intended to complement or improve upon information that can be difficult to obtain through intermittent field sampling alone.
Why use a stationary PIT detection system instead of only intermittent field sampling?
Based on the opportunity description, a stationary detection setup can provide consistent and repeatable detections that may be hard to capture through intermittent field sampling alone. This can reduce gaps in information and improve the reliability of the resulting entrainment data.
Which species is the monitoring focused on?
The monitoring focus described is the Colorado pikeminnow, in connection with endangered fish recovery work in the Upper Colorado River Basin.
What geographic area or site is associated with the project?
The project is tied to the Maybell Canal / Maybell Ditch/Canal area and is connected to endangered fish recovery work in the Upper Colorado River Basin.
What outcomes or decisions is the data meant to support?
The opportunity describes the goal of helping managers better understand impacts associated with water diversions and informing recovery and operational decisions related to endangered fish recovery efforts.
What operational responsibilities were emphasized for the recipient?
The opportunity emphasized that a stationary PIT detection system requires periodic inspections for routine maintenance and other operational needs. The recipient was expected to conduct those inspections to help keep the system functional and minimize downtime.
Why did the opportunity consider it sensible for the recipient to do inspections?
It was described as sensible because the recipient was already working in the project area on other duties, making it practical to incorporate periodic inspections and maintenance into their existing field presence.
What type of funding instrument was used?
The funding was offered as a grant.
