Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled STUDY OF MOHAVE TUI CHUB, CHINA LAKE, CA is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to support natural resources work focused on the federally endangered Mohave tui chub at Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake in California. The project is designed to combine routine, on-the-ground habitat management with a more rigorous, updated long-term monitoring approach, and with technical watershed and seep-system characterization that can guide practical habitat upgrades. The overall intent is to improve species management outcomes while keeping future maintenance needs as low as possible, and to ensure the installation remains compliant with the Endangered Species Act through scientifically defensible monitoring and habitat actions coordinated with key wildlife agencies.
The work described in the announcement has three main components. First, the recipient would carry out annual Mohave tui chub management duties, specifically including water quality monitoring and removing vegetation that is encroaching into habitat areas. This is aimed at tracking habitat conditions over time and preventing habitat degradation that can come from altered water conditions or excessive plant growth that can change flow, water temperature, dissolved oxygen dynamics, or access to suitable habitat. Second, the project calls for developing a revised long-term monitoring protocol for Mohave tui chub at China Lake. That revised protocol is expected to be grounded in analysis of prior monitoring data and informed by input from a panel of scientific experts and stakeholders, which suggests the Navy wanted a monitoring design that is both scientifically strong and aligned with regulatory and local management expectations. Third, the project would characterize the topography and hydrology of the Lark Seep and G1 Seep system. This includes hydrologic mapping, water-quality determination, and using the results of the watershed characterization to design habitat improvements that achieve the desired ecological benefits with minimal ongoing upkeep.
A central theme of the opportunity is coordination and technical credibility. The announcement emphasizes cooperation with installation biologists, scientific experts, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Practically, that means the deliverables were expected to be usable by both the installation and regulators: a monitoring protocol that can stand up to scientific scrutiny and inform management decisions over the long term, and a set of defined habitat improvement actions that make the water system more efficient and resilient while supporting the chub. By focusing on better water resource utilization and a more efficient hydrologic system, the project also signals an interest in addressing root causes of habitat stressors, not just symptoms, and in designing improvements that do not require constant intervention.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this opportunity was posted on August 30, 2013, with proposals due by 4:00 PM local time on September 20, 2013. NAVFAC anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $135,000 and an award ceiling of $135,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number listed is 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research. The point of contact listed for access issues or assistance was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, at 619-532-1159.
