Opportunity Summary:
Waipa Stream Restoration Phase II (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00310) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service cooperative agreement focused on restoring and improving fish and invertebrate passage in the lower reaches of Waipa Stream. The project is designed to address habitat degradation and migration barriers that have developed in the lower stream corridor, while building on earlier phases of work that already made meaningful progress toward broader restoration goals.
The core problem targeted by the grant is the heavy overgrowth of hau bush (Hibiscus tiliaceus) in the lower stream reaches. This invasive vegetation has narrowed and clogged parts of the channel, reducing the amount and quality of in-stream habitat available for native aquatic species and, in some locations, creating unnatural obstructions that limit upstream movement. While much of the upper Waipa Stream system still retains good aquatic habitat conditions, the lower corridor has become a bottleneck that undermines connectivity and overall watershed health.
Phase II work centers on removing and controlling invasive vegetation and re-establishing native riparian vegetation along the lower Waipa Stream corridor. By restoring the riparian plant community and opening up the channel, the project aims to improve habitat structure, reduce or eliminate passage barriers for fish and invertebrates, and enhance water quality. These actions are intended to improve both the biological function of the stream (species access to upstream areas, healthier habitat) and the physical and chemical conditions of the stream channel and adjacent riparian zone.
The opportunity supports continued progress toward the larger multi-phase objective of restoring a 7.5-acre riparian corridor along lower Waipa Stream and removing physical barriers to aquatic organism passage. The expected public benefits include increased production of fish and invertebrates that are recreationally, commercially, and culturally important, along with broader improvements to watershed condition through better riparian cover and stream function.
Funding is provided as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000 and an award ceiling of $45,000 (award floor listed as $0). No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed. Eligibility was limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on August 12, 2013, with an application closing date of August 26, 2013. Additional details were available through Grants.gov, and agency contacts listed for assistance included Paulette Reyes (808-792-9447, PauletteReyes@fws.gov) and Alice Garrett (503-231-2056, alicegarrett@fws.gov).

What CFDA program is this funding associated with?
This opportunity is under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance.
What is the main problem the project is designed to address?
The core problem targeted is heavy overgrowth of hau bush (Hibiscus tiliaceus) in the lower stream reaches, which has narrowed and clogged parts of the channel, degraded habitat, and created obstructions that can limit upstream movement for native aquatic species.
Where in Waipa Stream will the work occur?
The project focuses on the lower reaches (lower stream corridor) of Waipa Stream, which has become a bottleneck for connectivity even though much of the upper system retains good aquatic habitat conditions.
What activities are supported in Phase II?
Phase II centers on removing and controlling invasive vegetation and re-establishing native riparian vegetation along the lower Waipa Stream corridor to open up the channel and improve stream and riparian conditions.
How does removing hau bush help fish and invertebrates?
By reducing invasive overgrowth that narrows and clogs the channel, the project aims to improve in-stream habitat availability and quality and reduce or eliminate passage barriers that limit fish and invertebrate movement upstream.
What outcomes are expected from restoring riparian vegetation?
The expected outcomes include improved habitat structure, reduced migration barriers, and enhanced water quality, along with improved physical and chemical conditions in the stream channel and adjacent riparian zone.
Is this part of a larger effort?
Yes. Phase II is intended to build on earlier phases that already made meaningful progress, supporting continued progress toward a larger multi-phase objective.
What is the larger multi-phase objective described for this project?
The broader goal described is restoring a 7.5-acre riparian corridor along lower Waipa Stream and removing physical barriers to aquatic organism passage.
What public benefits are expected from this project?
