Executive Summary The Red Bluff Fish and Wildlife Office (RBFWO), Battle Creek Program, is soliciting proposals for fluvial geomorphic, hydrologic, bathymetric and terrestrial surveying including a sediment transport analysis to provide the baseline data necessary for the future design of a screened and fish-safe diversion at the Intake #2 location on Battle Creek. These analyzes should assess stream conditions, model flow and sediment regimes, and thereby inform the plan to ensure adequate water diversions for Coleman National Fish Hatchery (CNFH) in perpetuity. CNFH also is the location of one of the largest production hatcheries in the continental United States, producing tens of millions of salmonids annually, supporting an economically important sport fishery.

RBFWO, CNFH, US Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife have been working collaboratively on a multi-benefit water infrastructure improvement program. Part of that program focuses on establishing a population of endangered winter-run Chinook Salmon into Battle Creek, so they have a secondary population outside the Sacramento River. CNFH has been chosen as a prime site for us to raise these fish in addition to its sport https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/codification/executive-order/12372.html https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/codification/executive-order/12372.html https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/office-federal-financial-management/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/office-federal-financial-management/ https://www.fws.gov/media/required-notices-and-burden-statement-omb-control-no-1018-0100 fishing production goals, but currently the water intake system does not meet specific standards and are under an aged infrastructure review being led by BOR. Under this review a new water intake system is to be added along with updating older water intake structures. The analysis and model to be generated by this agreement would directly assist BOR with creating designs for updating this water intake and overall help CNFH meet their production goals. Required deliverables include a complete and comprehensive assessment for the future design team.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

https://sam.gov/content/entity-registration https://sam.gov/content/help https://sam.gov/content/help

Program Goals

• Project Goals:

1. Gather baseline data on the current fluvial geomorphic conditions of Battle Creek relevant to Intake 2, identify limitations to diversion capacity, identify pool depth needed to improve operation of the existing Intake 2, and create a complete and comprehensive assessment for the diversion of 72 CFS at a fully screened, fish-safe intake.

2. Build and calibrate a model that can be handed over to the future design team, including considerations for sediment transport and flow regimes of current and projected conditions at the intake site, as well as information that could be used for an alternative location.

3. Provide recommendations to inform infrastructure improvements, ensuring that the new design aligns with ecological and operational needs.

Funds under this award will be used to complete the implementation and analysis of these studies at and around Intake #2 on the mainstem of Battle Creek.

Project tasks and applicant responsibilities:

1. Collect, analyze, and provide both historic and current data trends from water intake system and gauges related to CNFN to determine yearly requirements to ensure adequate diversion levels.

2. Complete instream study, measurements, and mapping of the channel and intake system.

3. Provide a calibrated model of stream conditions, including sediment transport, hydrology, bathometry and fluvial geomorphology relevant to the Intake #2 location.

4. Create feasibility study of how a fish safe screen design may be affected by different flow regimes.

5. Develop a monitoring and maintenance plan for the intake reach,

6. Provide a complete and a comprehensive assessment of the Intake #2 site and reach;

related to geomorphic processes (emphasizing the fate and transport of sediment) for relevant flow conditions for the future design team.

Program Description Background:

Battle Creek is a vital tributary of the Sacramento River, supporting Central Valley (CV) steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and all four runs of Chinook Salmon (O. tshawytscha), including the endangered winter-run Chinook Salmon. This unique population is adapted to the specific geological conditions of the upper Sacramento River Basin (Lindley et al. 2004).

Reintroducing winter-run Chinook Salmon into Battle Creek aligns with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Recovery Plan to restore the spatial structure of this Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) by reintroducing populations to their historic habitats (NMFS 2014).

Battle Creek is home to Coleman National Fish Hatchery, one of the largest production hatcheries in the continental United States, playing a vital role in supporting an economically significant sport fishery. Coleman National Fish Hatchery (CNFH) also plays a crucial role in supporting the winter-run Chinook recovery efforts by collecting returning adults. The 2016 CNFH Adaptive Management Plan and the 2019 agreement with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) highlight CNFH’s commitment to restoring natural salmonid populations in Battle Creek. However, winter-run are currently raised at an offsite facility, necessitating a more strategic approach by utilizing CNFH’s unique position to raise endangered winter-run salmon effectively.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) operates several hydroelectric facilities on the North and South Forks of Battle Creek. In 1999, PG&E, along with NMFS, CDFW, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at restoring salmon and steelhead populations. The Battle Creek Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Project (BCRP) implements various restoration actions, including the removal of ageing and unused diversions and the incorporation of fish ladders and screens. After many years of planning, portions of the major restoration project have been implemented on Battle Creek. Unfortunately, one side effect of these actions has led to CNFH losing its main water supply.

CNFH holds non-consumptive water rights to withdraw up to 122 cubic feet per second (cfs) from Battle Creek, with 109 cfs designated for fish culture and 13 cfs for downstream users. The hatchery relies on four water intake structures to ensure uninterrupted water delivery. Currently, Intake #1 and Expanded #1, which draw from the PG&E powerhouse, are the primary sources, but both are slated to become inoperable by 2026. This will leave CNFH dependent on Intake #2 and Intake #3, which are un-screened.

The Northern California Area Office (NCAO) at USBR is working to install fish screens at Intake #3, but screening Intake #2 will necessitate significant additional funding and design analysis. Given the sediment mobility and flow dynamics of Battle Creek, appropriate screening solutions are critical.

Intake #2 has also been identified as under-performing, with a maximum capacity of approximately 65 cfs under normal conditions, decreasing to 58 cfs during low water conditions.

Changes in channel morphology, sediment deposition, and a malfunctioning valve have further compromised its functionality. To optimize Intake #2, sediment removal and construction of a barrier to prevent continual aggradation may be necessary, while ensuring fish passage for ESA-listed salmonids.

The ongoing aged infrastructure review and alternatives analysis for CNFH's water supply, led by BOR and a private contractor, will provide essential data to address these challenges.

Utilizing this information is vital for developing sustainable strategies to ensure CNFH meets its operational needs while supporting the recovery of endangered salmonid populations in Battle Creek.

Scope of Work:

This project will operate under a tight deadline, as the grant agreement funding it expires on November 1, 2025. All billing must be completed, and deliverables received, before this date.

The primary goal of this funding is to identify options for increasing the water capacity at Intake #2 for Coleman National Fish Hatchery.

To achieve this, both the upstream and downstream areas of the current intake must be thoroughly mapped and studied, along with an evaluation of historical data trends. This comprehensive analysis will ensure that Intake #2 can operate at full capacity throughout the year across a range of annual flows, while also meeting screening requirements in compliance with NMFS and CDFW criteria.

Entities are unrestricted but final choice of applicant must be approved by CDFW.

If an applicant selected for funding hasn't finished their SAM.gov registration (see 2 CFR 25.200 and 2 CFR 25.110) when the federal agency is ready to make an award, we may decide that the applicant is ineligible for the award and choose to grant it to someone else. Please refer 2 CFR

25.205 for more information.

Prior to making an award, the DOI checks the anticipated recipient and their key project personnel against the current list of prohibited or restricted persons or entities in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) Exclusions database. We are prohibited from making an award if a recipient or any key personnel are found ineligible, prohibited, restricted, or otherwise excluded from receiving or participating in an award, as their ineligibility condition applies to this program.

If removed from consideration for ineligibility, the Federal agency will notify the applicant in writing.

Merit Review Applicants will be rated on a combination of experience level, proposed technical approach, and budget estimates. To be considered for funding, applications must provide information that shows they meet the following criteria:

Demonstrate expertise in hydrology, hydrological modeling and sediment transport;

Demonstrate expertise in fish passage engineering;

Demonstrate expertise in aquatic habitat mapping;

Experience working on anadromous salmonid restoration projects (minimum of 3) in California streams and rivers;

One or more of the applicants and/or sub-recipients must be a qualified geomorphologist with experience (10+ years) designing or modifying salmonid fish passage projects;

Applicant’s and sub-recipients record of performance and expertise;

Proposal’s clearly state goals, objectives, and methods;

Economic efficiency, budget is reasonable and provide good value for funds requested; and Demonstrate ability to provide timely updates to the Project Manager.

Review and Selection Process This program reviews proposed budgets to ensure:

• figures are correct

• estimated costs are necessary and reasonable and clearly linked to project narratives

• avoid obviously unallowable costs

• identify costs requiring prior approval

• ensure indirect cost rates are applied correctly

• confirm cost sharing requirements are reflected in the budget.

This program reviews applications for potential overlap or duplication between the proposed project and any other funded or proposed project. Depending on the circumstances, DOI may choose to not make an award.

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/section-25.200 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-I/part-25/subpart-A/section-25.110 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-I/part-25/subpart-B/section-25.205 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-I/part-25/subpart-B/section-25.205

Prior to award, the program will review any applicant statement regarding potential overlap or duplication between the project to be funded and any other funded or proposed project in terms of activities, funding, or time commitment of key personnel. Depending on the circumstances, the program may request modification to the application, other pending applications, or an active award, as needed to eliminate any duplication of effort, or the FWS may choose not to fund the selected project.

Prior to award, the program will conduct and document a review of the proposed budget to ensure figures are calculated correctly, proposed costs are clearly linked to the project narrative and seem necessary and reasonable, no obviously unallowable costs are included, costs requiring prior approval are identified and described, indirect cost are applied correctly, and any program match or cost share requirements are addressed.

The program may not make a Federal award to an applicant that has not completed the SAM.gov registration. If an applicant selected for funding has not completed their SAM.gov registration by the time the Bureau is ready to make an award, the program may determine that the applicant is not qualified to receive an award. The program can use that determination as a basis for making an award to another applicant.

Risk Review Prior to making an award, the program assesses the risk posed by the applicant per 2 CFR

200.206. If an award will be made, the program may apply special conditions corresponding to the risk assessed. For awards over the simplified acquisition threshold (currently $250,000), the program reviews eligibility and financial integrity information in the applicant’s SAM.gov records per 2 CFR 200.206(a). The program also assesses financial management capabilities, project delivery experience, staffing resources, past performance, administration and reporting compliance records, and overall project complexity and potential challenges.

AWARD NOTICES

Notices of Federal Award are sent electronically via GrantSolutions or e-mail. These notices outline the terms, conditions, and payment instructions per 2 CFR 200.211. The Notice of Federal Award signed by an authorized Grants Officer is the legal instrument obligating financial assistance to a recipient. Any other prior notice is not an authorization to begin work. If the program allows pre-award costs per 2 CFR 200.458, beginning performance before receiving a Notice of Federal Award is at the applicant’s own risk.
