Overview - Specific or Generic	The Stockton Office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), will fund the continued support of three CDFG senior or equivalent biologists, one each from the Cooperator’s Region 1 (Upper mainstem Sacramento River and tributaries from Keswick Dam south to, and including, Butte Creek on the east side and to Colusa Basin Drain on the west side of the upper mainstem of the Sacramento River) , Region 2 (Lower Sacramento River and Delta tributaries from the Feather River south to the Calaveras River (including the Feather, Yuba, American, Cosumnes, and Mokelumne rivers), and Region 4 (Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and mainstem San Joaquin River including the Merced, Tuolumne, and the Stanislaus rivers), to act as Habitat Restoration Coordinators (HRCs). The State HRCs will continue to play a role in the interagency team with the AFRP to coordinate, develop, and implement restoration actions consistent with the Final Restoration Plan. CDFG will cost share up to 44% of the total annual cost. Funding of these positions will help meet the AFRP’s objectives of 1) improving habitat for all life stages of anadromous fish through provision of flows of suitable quality, quantity, and timing, and improved physical habitat; 2) improving survival rates by reducing or eliminating entrainment of juveniles at diversions; 3) improving the opportunity for adult fish to reach their spawning habitats in a timely manner; 4) collecting fish population, health, and habitat data to facilitate evaluation of restoration actions; 5) integrating habitat restoration efforts with harvest and hatchery management; and 6) involve partners in the implementation and evaluation of restoration actions.

USFWS intends to award the CDFG a single source cooperative agreement in accordance with Section 3407(e) of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA). CDFG will provide environmental planning, coordination, and permitting support that is necessary to implement habitat restoration projects with the AFRP. CDFG also has existing land owner agreements and permits in place to access many of the restoration areas where projects are currently being implemented. Period of performance is scheduled from September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2017.
