Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Stream Flow Monitoring on Battle Creek, CA" (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00280) is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the environment and natural resources activity category. It is specifically structured as a Notice of Intent to Award to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), meaning the agency has already identified the intended recipient rather than opening a broad competition among multiple applicants. The purpose is straightforward: to keep two existing stream gaging stations on Battle Creek operating so that uninterrupted, continuous streamflow data remains available in a consistent record that extends back to 2001.

DWR is central to this effort because it owns the two gaging stations and has been responsible for operating them since 2001. The Fish and Wildlife Service has funded the operation of these gages since 2007, and this agreement is meant to continue that same service rather than start a new monitoring program. The emphasis on maintaining continuity in the dataset suggests the gages produce long-term hydrologic information that is valuable for environmental management and fisheries-related decision-making, where consistent multi-year records are often more useful than short-term measurements. By continuing operations without interruption, the program preserves comparability across years and helps ensure that resource managers can rely on an unbroken time series.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $66,500. The award ceiling is also $66,500, and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating the maximum planned federal contribution matches the total amount expected for the award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, which aligns with the intended award to DWR. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.664, Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs, reflecting its connection to coordination activities that support fish and wildlife conservation objectives.

Timing details show the announcement was posted and created on July 30, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2013, and an archive date of August 10, 2013. These dates reinforce that this is not a typical open-ended solicitation but a targeted funding action with a short administrative window. Additional information was referenced through Grants.gov, and the point of contact provided for access or questions was Brenda Olson at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 530-527-3043 ext. 227, email BrendaOlson@fws.gov).
