Opportunity Summary:
The WDFW Operations and Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00027) is a discretionary federal grant administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.661, the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan. The central purpose is to support Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife operations that develop and carry out a program to rear enough Chinook salmon and steelhead smolts so that, after those fish migrate and mature, a sufficient number of adults return to the Snake River Basin. The intent is explicitly compensatory: the program is meant to help offset fish losses affecting Washington, consistent with the broader goals of mitigation and population support in the Lower Snake River system.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity was structured as a single award with a total estimated funding amount of $2,530,054, and both the award ceiling and floor were set at $2,530,054, meaning the agency anticipated making one grant at that exact amount rather than a range of possible awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes the funding easier to use for eligible program costs without requiring the recipient to bring additional non-federal funds to the table. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources and also Science and Technology/Research and Development, reflecting that hatchery production and associated monitoring, evaluation, and operational work often blend hands-on resource management with technical and biological performance standards.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, indicating the program was aimed at a state agency applicant rather than local governments, tribes, universities, nonprofits, or private entities. The posting date and creation date were both November 14, 2012, with an original and current closing date of November 28, 2012, and the listing archived on December 31, 2012. In practical terms, this was a narrowly targeted, time-limited funding announcement intended to support a specific state-led operations and maintenance effort tied to rearing and releasing smolts to improve adult return numbers to the Snake River Basin as mitigation for documented losses.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Margaret Anderson, Cooperative Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 208-378-5299 or by email at MargaretMAnderson@fws.gov. The announcement also referenced Grants.gov as the source for additional information and official posting details.
