Description

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting proposals for the Water Supply Analyses Project at Coleman National Fish Hatchery's Intake #2, with an estimated funding amount of $600,000 available for a single award. The project aims to conduct comprehensive fluvial geomorphic, hydrologic, and sediment transport analyses to inform the design of a fish-safe water intake system, which is crucial for the hatchery's salmonid production and the recovery of endangered winter-run Chinook Salmon populations. Eligible applicants include various entities, though final selections must be approved by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and applications are due electronically by April 20, 2025.

The United States Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (F25AS00274) for the Water Supply Analyses Project at Coleman National Fish Hatchery's Intake #2. With an estimated award of $600,000, this project seeks proposals for comprehensive surveying and analysis to enhance water diversion capacities at Intake #2 on Battle Creek. The goals include assessing geomorphic and hydrologic conditions, modeling flow and sediment transport, and providing a comprehensive assessment to support the design of a fish-safe diversion structure. The project addresses the critical need for a reliable water supply for the hatchery, which produces millions of salmon annually and supports endangered winter-run Chinook Salmon recovery efforts. Given the aging infrastructure and upcoming operational challenges, the project aims to ensure adequate water delivery while aligning with ecological goals outlined by key stakeholders, including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Eligible applicants include organizations with prior approval from this Department, with submissions due before the funding expiration date of November 1, 2025. This funding opportunity is a vital step toward improving fisheries management and conservation efforts in California.
