Opportunity Information: Apply for F22AS00272
The Butte Creek - Sutter Bypass Weir 1 Feasibility Study and Alternatives Analysis grant (Funding Opportunity Number F22AS00272) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), specifically through the Red Bluff Fish and Wildlife Office under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) Program. The purpose of the award is to fund a focused planning effort that looks at how to improve adult salmonid fish passage at a specific infrastructure barrier known as Weir 1 on Butte Creek in the Sutter Bypass system. Weir 1 is located just upstream of where the Tisdale Weir Bypass meets the west bank of the Sutter Bypass, at approximately 39 degrees 2 minutes 5.27 seconds north and 121 degrees 44 minutes 37.09 seconds west.
The work funded by this grant is centered on producing a feasibility study and alternatives analysis, meaning applicants are expected to investigate multiple potential solutions, gather and analyze the information needed to compare those solutions, and document which options are realistic from technical, environmental, and cost perspectives. The project scope explicitly includes alternative development, data collection, and evaluation, along with preparation of cost estimates for the alternatives considered. The overall intent is not to jump straight into construction, but to do the rigorous upfront work needed to identify a practical fish passage approach that can later move into permitting, final design, and implementation.
A key component of the effort is coordination and structured decision-making with agency partners. The selected recipient will be expected to facilitate meetings with a Technical Advisory Committee made up of representatives from FWS, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), and NOAA Fisheries. Through this process, the Service and the broader Project Management Team plan to select a preferred alternative by the end of the study period, creating a clear pathway for the next phases (permitting, engineering design, and on-the-ground implementation) once the planning work is complete.
In terms of timing and funding, the opportunity had an original closing date of July 3, 2022, and anticipated a project start in late summer 2022 (August to September) within Fiscal Year 2022, with a projected period of performance of about 12 months. The award ceiling listed for the grant is $300,000. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open rather than limited to a narrow set of applicant types. The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is natural resources, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.648.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a one-year, agency-coordinated planning and analysis project aimed at solving a specific fish passage problem at Weir 1. The expected end product is a well-supported recommendation of a preferred alternative, backed by data and cost information, that agencies can use to advance the project into permitting and eventual construction or operational changes to improve adult salmonid movement through this part of the Butte Creek and Sutter Bypass system.Apply for F22AS00272
