Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00265
The Central Valley Project Improvement Act grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00265) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.648, focused on environment and natural resources work. The project described in the notice is the Long Bar Restoration Project, which targets ecological restoration on the Lower Yuba River in California, specifically the Parks Bar to Marysville river reach at a site known as Long Bar. The core objective is to restore as much as 50 acres of river and floodplain habitat to better support native fish and wildlife, with an emphasis on Spring-run and Fall-run Chinook salmon and the broader community of riparian and floodplain species that depend on healthy river processes.
The restoration approach, as framed in the opportunity description, is about improving habitat quality by enhancing existing physical and ecological features and increasing heterogeneity across both the channel and the adjacent floodplain. In practical terms, "heterogeneity" in river restoration generally refers to creating or reinforcing a varied mosaic of habitat conditions rather than a uniform channel or simplified floodplain. For salmonids like Chinook salmon, more diverse river and floodplain structure can translate into better spawning and rearing conditions, such as a wider range of depths and velocities, improved cover, more complex edge habitats, and floodplain areas that can provide seasonal refuge and food resources when connected to the river. For riparian and floodplain species, a more varied landscape tends to support richer vegetation patterns and more resilient habitat functions tied to natural flow and sediment dynamics.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument type is a grant, and the published award ceiling was $2,985,000. The opportunity was created on June 24, 2019, with an original closing date of July 1, 2019, indicating a short application window. The listing shows "Expected Awards: 0" in the source data, which often reflects how the opportunity was recorded in the system rather than a definitive statement that no funding would be awarded, but it does indicate that the notice did not commit to a specific number of awards in that field.
Eligibility, as stated, was limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. In other words, it was aimed at a specific subset of nonprofit applicants, excluding standard 501(c)(3) nonprofits unless they were higher-education institutions, which suggests the agency expected an applicant such as a non-501(c)(3) nonprofit entity, consortium, or similar organization to carry out the work consistent with the program and statutory authority.
Overall, the opportunity centers on implementing a sizeable, place-based habitat restoration project on the Lower Yuba River intended to improve river and floodplain conditions in ways that measurably benefit Chinook salmon runs and associated riparian and floodplain ecosystems, backed by a sizable federal grant ceiling and administered through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act framework.Apply for F19AS00265
