- There is not an application process for the Upstream Fish Passage at Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District (ACID) Siphon, Mainstem Cottonwood Creek project. This is a notice of intent to award the ACID a grant up to 130,000 under justification 505 DM 2.14 (B4). The Cental Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA Title 34 of Public Law 102 575, Section 3406(b)(1)) authorizes and directs the Secretary of the DOI, in consultation with other State and Federal agencies, Indian tribes, and affected interests, to develop and implement a program which makes all reasonable efforts to at least double natural production of anadromous fish in Central Valley rivers and streams. The ACID is uniquely qualified as they own and manage the facility needing repair. This project is to correct a fish passage issue related to the ACID siphon under Cottonwood Creek, tributary to the Sacramento River near Cottonwood, CA, that is becoming exposed as a result of stream degredation.

Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Upstream Fish Passage at ACID Siphon, Mainstem Cottonwood Creek" is a targeted U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) funding action under the Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), part of the Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (CFDA 15.648). The project focuses on a specific fish passage problem on Cottonwood Creek, a Sacramento River tributary near Cottonwood, California, where the Anderson Cottonwood Irrigation District (ACID) siphon running under the creek is becoming exposed due to ongoing streambed degradation. As the siphon becomes exposed, it increases the risk of harming or obstructing anadromous fish, especially multiple life stages and seasonal runs of Chinook salmon and steelhead that rely on the creek for migration and rearing.
Funding of up to $130,000 was identified for one expected award, using a grant instrument, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The purpose of the funding is threefold: first, to support the technical analyses needed to develop and compare a set of feasible alternatives that can provide a long-term fix for the exposed siphon and reduce the likelihood of negative effects on salmonids; second, to complete required environmental compliance documentation and secure any necessary permits; and third, to implement the preferred alternative that emerges from the analysis and permitting process. In other words, the award is intended to move beyond conceptual planning and cover the work needed to reach an implementable, permitted solution and then put that solution in place.
This opportunity is not structured as an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, the notice serves as a formal statement of intent to award a grant directly to ACID, justified under an internal federal justification authority cited as 505 DM 2.14 (B4). The rationale is that ACID is uniquely qualified because it owns and manages the siphon facility that requires repair or modification, and therefore is the only practical entity positioned to carry out the work. The broader legal and programmatic foundation is the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA), Title 34 of Public Law 102-575, Section 3406(b)(1), which directs the Department of the Interior, in consultation with other governmental and affected parties, to develop and implement actions that make all reasonable efforts to at least double natural production of anadromous fish in Central Valley rivers and streams. Fixing a passage-related infrastructure issue on an important tributary aligns with that mandate.
USFWS anticipates limited federal involvement in the execution of the funded work. The agency indicates it does not expect substantial involvement beyond standard stewardship responsibilities typical for a federal grant, such as monitoring project performance and providing technical assistance if requested by the recipient. Administrative details in the notice show the opportunity was posted and created on April 29, 2009, with a closing date of May 27, 2009, and an archive date of June 26, 2009, reflecting that it was time-bound and is now historical. For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Brenda Olson, Fish Biologist, reachable by phone at 530-527-3043 x227 or by email at BrendaOlson@fws.gov.
