Opportunity Summary:
The Wenatchee Subbasin Anadromous Fishery Habitat Improvement opportunity is a Bureau of Reclamation (Pacific Northwest Region) notice stating the agency's intent to fund habitat work in the Wenatchee Subbasin of the Columbia River system. It is explicitly not a request for applications; instead, it serves as a public notice that Reclamation plans to provide financial assistance without full and open competition. The purpose is to support on-the-ground actions that improve conditions for anadromous fish by addressing four primary performance targets: bringing fish screens up to current standards, restoring spawning and rearing access by removing or fixing fish passage barriers, meeting instream flow targets, and increasing the number of miles of stream channel with improved complexity.
The anticipated project work focuses on practical habitat restoration measures that improve river function and fish habitat quality. Examples listed in the notice include reconnecting floodplains, improving side channels and backwater channels, adding woody structures and large rock clusters, creating or enhancing deeper pools, and rebuilding spawning gravels. Taken together, these activities are meant to increase habitat diversity, improve flow and sediment dynamics, and expand safe and productive areas for fish migration, spawning, and juvenile rearing.
A major emphasis of the announcement is the need for extensive coordination due to the complexity of local conditions and land ownership patterns in the subbasin. Reclamation highlights that successful projects typically require planning and agreement among state and local governments, private landowners, nonprofit organizations, and multiple federal agencies (including Reclamation). Only activities that meet the program criteria and have already been coordinated, approved, and prioritized with local landowners and other stakeholders in the project area are expected to be advanced to Reclamation for consideration. Reclamation will then decide whether individual proposed actions are suitable for funding, indicating that the award would support a coordinated portfolio of habitat improvements rather than a single isolated action.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the instrument is a cooperative agreement in the natural resources category, tied to CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). The announcement anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. The stated award ceiling is $1,000,000 and the floor is $100,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to county governments. The anticipated agreement period is five years, and the notice states that renewals or continuation amendments that add funding may be made without future competition, as long as the project performs successfully and Congress appropriates funds.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 09SS10FW003, posted December 12, 2008, with a closing date of December 29, 2008 and archive date of December 30, 2008. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Bryant Bear Lyndaker, Financial Assistance Officer, at 208-378-5138 or by email (as provided in the notice).
