Central Valley Project Habitat & Facility Improvements Year 3

The Bureau of Reclamation is seeking proposals for the Central Valley Project Habitat & Facility Improvements program. The program aims to protect, restore, and enhance fish, wildlife, and associated habitats in the Central Valley and Trinity River basins of California. Eligible applicants include state governments, Indian tribes, and non-profit entities. The program will provide funding for projects that improve habitat and facilities for fish and wildlife, and that address the impacts of the Central Valley Project on fish and wildlife. Some key points to consider: • The program is authorized under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act. • The program will provide up to $10 million per agreement for projects that can be completed within five years. • A 50% or greater non-Federal cost share is required for small pumps/screening applications or projects. • The program will prioritize projects that benefit fish and wildlife, and that address the impacts of the Central Valley Project. • The program will also prioritize projects that are consistent with the Biden-Harris administration’s priorities, including climate change and environmental justice.
