Dec. 22, 2009 - The Bureau of Reclamation's Klamath Basin Area Office, working in partnership with other Federal and State agencies, announces the availability of approximately $750,000 in Reclamation funds for the Klamath Basin Restoration Project in 2010.
The goal of the program is to identify and provide funding for projects that will improve conditions for fish species listed under the Endangered Species Act that may be affected by the Klamath Reclamation Project including threatened coho salmon, endangered shortnose, and Lost River suckers.
Reclamation will consider funding potential projects that specifically and convincingly show they will protect or improve conditions for these fish species. Proposals should address habitat for coho salmon in the Klamath River, associated side channels, sloughs, and the Klamath River estuary or endangered suckers in Upper Klamath Lake, Link River, Lake Ewuana/Keno Impoundment, and the Lost River watershed including Tule Lake, Clear Lake, and Gerber Reservoir.
Through this funding opportunity, Reclamation will work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Forest Service, and California Department of Fish and Game to review, evaluate, and rank the proposals received.
The announcement is posted at www.grants.gov (Solicitation Number R10AF20009), and proposals may be submitted until February 22, 2010. For more information about the program, please contact Mr. Chuck Korson, Reclamation, at 541-880-2575 or ckorson@usbr.gov.
