Opportunity Summary:
The WDFW Operations Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00010) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.661, the Lower Snake River Compensation Plan. Its central purpose is to support Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife operations and maintenance activities that develop and carry out a program to rear enough Chinook salmon and steelhead smolts so that, once those fish migrate to the ocean and mature, a sufficient number of adults return to the Snake River Basin. The overarching policy goal is mitigation: compensating for fish losses in Washington associated with impacts in the Snake River system by boosting production and return of these key anadromous species.
The funded work is framed around producing and rearing smolts (juvenile fish at the life stage ready to migrate to saltwater) at levels intended to translate into meaningful adult returns. In practical terms, this type of operations and maintenance program typically covers the ongoing, day-to-day needs required to run rearing facilities and associated fish production activities, rather than one-time construction. While the announcement text is brief, the intent is clear: ensure the capacity and execution needed to consistently rear and release Chinook and steelhead smolts in quantities aligned with the compensation plan, thereby supporting the long-term replenishment of adult fish returning to the Snake River basin.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on October 22, 2013, with an application closing date of November 5, 2013, and an archive date of November 22, 2013. The agency anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding amount is $2,637,265, and notably the award floor and ceiling are both set at $2,637,265, signaling that the funding amount was essentially fixed for the intended recipient and scope. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, consistent with the WDFW-focused title and the operational nature of the program. The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, which aligns with fisheries management and enhancement programs that involve biological production, monitoring, and applied management activities tied to resource mitigation objectives.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement details at the time, the listing referenced Grants.gov as the access point. The contact provided for support was Margaret Anderson (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), reachable at 208-378-5299 or MargaretMAnderson@fws.gov, particularly for anyone who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically.
