About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting proposals for the F25AS00274 Water Supply Analyses Project for Coleman National Fish Hatchery Intake 2. The grant will fund comprehensive fluvial geomorphic, hydrologic, bathymetric, and terrestrial surveying, including sediment transport analysis, for the Intake #2 location on Battle Creek. The primary objectives are to gather baseline data, develop a calibrated stream conditions model, and provide recommendations for infrastructure improvements to support water diversion for the Coleman National Fish Hatchery. Eligible applicants are unrestricted, but the final applicant must be approved by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Required application documents include SF-424, SF-424A, Project Abstract Summary, Project Narrative, and Budget Narrative. The project is part of a multi-benefit water infrastructure improvement program that also supports the recovery of endangered winter-run Chinook Salmon populations.
The estimated award amount is $600,000, with a grant agreement expiration date of November 1, 2025. The project aims to ensure adequate water supply for the Coleman National Fish Hatchery, which is one of the largest salmonid production facilities in the continental United States, producing millions of fish annually and supporting an important sport fishery. The project will be performed on Battle Creek and the surrounding area in California.
Synopsis
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 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.
