Opportunity Summary:
The Teichert Hallwood Facility Salmonid Habitat Restoration grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00301) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.648, the Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP). It was posted on June 29, 2015, with an original and final closing date of July 4, 2015, and archived on July 5, 2015. The listing indicates that the recipient had already been selected at the time the notice was posted or shortly thereafter, meaning it functioned largely as a formal public notice rather than an open competitive solicitation in practice.
The core purpose of the project was to restore salmonid habitat, specifically targeting juvenile Chinook Salmon and Steelhead, by reconnecting and improving floodplain and side-channel environments. The planned on-the-ground work focused on restoring up to 165 acres of frequently inundated floodplain. This restoration was to be achieved through topographic modification (reshaping or regrading portions of the floodplain to improve inundation patterns, flow paths, and habitat complexity) and riparian planting (establishing native riverside vegetation to improve cover, bank stability, food-web support, and overall habitat function). In addition to floodplain work, the project aimed to create and/or enhance at least 14,000 feet of wetted edge by developing a network of ephemeral and perennial side channels. These side channels are intended to provide the shallow, low-velocity, highly productive habitat conditions that young salmon and steelhead rely on for rearing, refuge during high flows, and improved growth and survival.
The scope of work under the agreement went beyond construction and included the full set of tasks needed to deliver and verify a habitat restoration project. That included final adjustments to the project design, overall project management, and landowner outreach and coordination, reflecting the practical reality that access, permissions, and alignment with land management needs are often critical to successful floodplain restoration. It also included construction bidding and contractor selection, followed by project implementation. Finally, the project required both physical and biological monitoring, which typically means tracking whether the site was built as intended (for example, channel geometry, inundation frequency, vegetation establishment, and stability) and whether the habitat is producing the desired ecological response (such as juvenile fish use, improved habitat conditions, and other measurable biological indicators).
Funding for the opportunity was set at an estimated total of $800,000, with an award ceiling of $800,000 and an award floor of $100. The announcement stated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), although the notice also clearly stated that the recipient had been selected. For additional details, the announcement pointed applicants to Grants.gov, and provided contact information for assistance: Connie Sauer (503-872-2826, ConnieSauer@fws.gov). The notice also referenced Stockton and Lodi and listed Paul Cadrett, suggesting local or regional points of contact connected to the project area or implementation coordination.

10) What was the core purpose of the project?
The core purpose was salmonid habitat restoration, specifically improving habitat used by juvenile Chinook Salmon and Steelhead by reconnecting and improving floodplain and side-channel environments.
11) Which fish species and life stages were specifically targeted?
The project targeted juvenile Chinook Salmon and juvenile Steelhead.
12) What kinds of habitat were the project activities focused on?
The planned work focused on floodplain habitat and side-channel habitat (including ephemeral and perennial side channels), with the goal of improving rearing and refuge conditions for young salmonids.
13) How many acres of floodplain restoration were planned?
The project planned to restore up to 165 acres of frequently inundated floodplain.
14) How was the floodplain restoration supposed to be accomplished?
The floodplain work was to be achieved through topographic modification (reshaping/regrading portions of the floodplain to improve inundation patterns, flow paths, and habitat complexity) and riparian planting (establishing native riverside vegetation to improve cover, bank stability, food-web support, and overall habitat function).
15) What is meant by "topographic modification" in this listing?
Based on the description, topographic modification refers to reshaping or regrading floodplain areas to improve inundation patterns, water movement (flow paths), and habitat complexity.
16) What is meant by "riparian planting" in this listing?
Riparian planting refers to establishing native vegetation along riverside areas to improve habitat cover, stabilize banks, support food-web productivity, and improve overall habitat function.
17) How much wetted edge was the project intended to create or enhance?
The project aimed to create and/or enhance at least 14,000 feet of wetted edge.
18) How was the wetted edge to be created or enhanced?
The wetted edge was to be developed through a network of side channels, including both ephemeral and perennial side channels.
19) What are "ephemeral" and "perennial" side channels in the context of this project?
In the context of the listing, ephemeral side channels are channels that carry water seasonally or during certain flow conditions, while perennial side channels are intended to carry water more consistently. Both types were included to provide shallow, low-velocity habitat conditions for juvenile fish.
20) Why are side channels and floodplains important for juvenile Chinook Salmon and Steelhead?
The listing explains that these habitats provide shallow, low-velocity, highly productive conditions that young salmon and steelhead rely on for rearing, refuge during high flows, and improved growth and survival.
21) Did the scope of work include more than construction?
Yes. The scope included final adjustments to the project design, overall project management, landowner outreach and coordination, construction bidding and contractor selection, project implementation, and both physical and biological monitoring.
22) What kinds of pre-construction or planning tasks were included?
The listing specifically mentions final adjustments to the project design, project management, and landowner outreach and coordination.

Yes. It included construction bidding and contractor selection prior to implementation.
24) What kinds of monitoring were required?
The project required both physical and biological monitoring.
25) What is the difference between physical monitoring and biological monitoring as described?
Physical monitoring typically refers to verifying the site was built as intended, such as channel geometry, inundation frequency, vegetation establishment, and site stability. Biological monitoring typically refers to measuring ecological response, such as juvenile fish use, improved habitat conditions, and other measurable biological indicators.
