Central Valley Project Habitat & Facility Improvements

The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking applications for projects that enhance Chinook salmon and Steelhead trout production and associated habitats in the Central Valley of California. Eligible applicants include the State of California, Indian tribes, and non-profit entities. Projects should focus on restoring and maintaining the production of anadromous salmonids and their habitats, and should include tasks such as conducting pre- and post-project site surveys and monitoring to document the effectiveness of projects at improving salmonid habitat. • The program seeks to implement the Biden-Harris administration's priorities through Executive Orders. • Applications should result in quantifiable and reliable benefits to the fish species. • Projects must clearly address one or more of the priority actions identified in the Near-Term Restoration Strategy or the Selected Alternative of the 2020 Record of Decision. • Tier 2 & Tier 3 monitoring projects are not eligible. • Applicants should refer to previous obligation plans and technical memos on the CVPIA website to coordinate new projects and avoid duplicative efforts.
