Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Tanuem Creek Fish Passage and Infrastructure Improvements" (Funding Opportunity Number R10SP1C029) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region. It is a discretionary grant in the environmental funding category and, importantly, it is not an open solicitation. Instead, it serves as a formal notice of intent to award funding to a specific recipient: the Kittitas Conservation District. Because it is a directed intent-to-fund notice rather than a competitive call, it is essentially documenting the agency's plan to provide support for a particular on-the-ground project rather than inviting multiple applicants to compete.
The project described has two main components aimed at improving fish passage and water management on Taneum Creek and associated irrigation infrastructure. The first component focuses on fish passage: it proposes removing an existing concrete fish ladder and dam, then replacing that structure with a more naturalized passage solution such as a roughened channel (or a similar fish passage feature). Roughened channels are often designed to mimic natural streambed conditions while maintaining hydraulic characteristics that allow fish to move upstream and downstream more effectively than through older, more rigid structures. In practice, this kind of work typically targets barriers that impede migration, reduces unnatural flow transitions, and improves ecological connectivity for fish and other aquatic organisms.
The second component centers on improving instream flows and strengthening water delivery reliability for the Taneum Canal Company. The notice indicates several potential infrastructure actions to accomplish this, including removing check structure(s) within the canal, lining portions of the canal to reduce seepage losses, and/or modifying the canal headgate. Collectively, these actions are generally intended to reduce inefficiencies in the diversion and delivery system, limit unintended losses, and better manage water so that more water can remain in the creek as instream flow while still meeting irrigation delivery needs. The Bureau of Reclamation states it will provide the Kittitas Conservation District with a portion of the design and construction funding needed for the fish passage replacement and the related water delivery infrastructure improvements, implying that additional project funding or resources would come from partners or non-federal sources.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $100,000, which indicates the award amount was fixed at that level for this notice. The opportunity also required cost sharing or matching, meaning the recipient was expected to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support as part of the project budget structure. Eligibility was limited to "special district governments," consistent with the named recipient being a conservation district.
The timeline shows the notice was posted and created on March 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 5, 2010, and an archive date of April 6, 2010. Although a closing date is listed, in the context of a notice of intent to fund a specific entity, this is generally more about administrative recordkeeping and transparency than a deadline for competitive submissions.
