About this opportunity

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation’s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement R16AN20003 Project Title Grassland Bypass Project – Biological Monitoring in the San Joaquin River Recipient California Department of Fish and Wildlife Principal Investigator / Program Manager Andy Gordus (CA Department of Fish and Wildlife) 1234 E. Shaw Avenue Fresno, CA Anticipated Federal Amount $239,087.26 Cost Share None Total Anticipated Award Amount $239,087.26 New Award or Continuation? New Award Anticipated Period of Performance January 2016 – December 2020 Award Instrument Grant Statutory Authority San Luis Unit, Public Law 86-488, Section 1(a) and 5 CFDA # and Title 15.527 San Luis Unit, Central Valley Project Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (4) Unique Qualifications Reclamation Point of Contact Stacy Brown (USBR – SCCAO) OVERVIEW This agreement supports activities related to the Grassland Bypass Project. The project has separated agricultural drainage water from wetland water supply channels since October 1996, significantly improving the quality of water and habitat in central California. The overall purposes of the Grassland Bypass Project are to: 1. To extend the San Luis Drain (SLD) Use Agreement to allow the Grassland Area Farmers more time to acquire funds and develop, test and implement feasible drain-water treatment and disposal technologies to meet revised Basin Plan Objectives for full implementation, zero discharge into Mud Slough (North) and the San Joaquin river by December 31, 2019; 2. To continue collection and discharge of contaminated agricultural drain-water from the Grassland Drainage Area (GDA) into the SLD and away from wetland water supply conveyance channels for the period 2010 to 2019; and, 3. To facilitate drainage management that maintains the viability of agricultural lands in the GDA and promotes improvement in water quality in the San Joaquin River over the life of the project. Under the 2010 Agreement for Continued Use of the San Luis Drain No. 10-WC-20-3975, the Grassland Area Farmers will use a portion of the San Luis Drain to convey agricultural drainage water to Mud Slough (North), a tributary of the San Joaquin River. The 2010 Agreement specifies the loads of salts and selenium that can be discharged in accordance with the revised 2015 Waste Discharge Requirements. A monitoring program is being conducted to measure the effects of the project on water accumulation, and selenium quality. RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT The objective of this grant is to continue funding for biological sampling to monitor the effects of the GBP on biota in the San Joaquin River. This agreement will fund the collection of fish and invertebrates at one location on the San Joaquin River. The sampling requirements are specified in the 2015 Grassland Bypass Monitoring plan. The objectives to be fulfilled by the recipient are listed below. Objective 1: Collection of Biological Samples Sampling will occur at Site R (San Joaquin River at China Island). This site is located in the San Joaquin River downstream of the Mud Slough confluence. This site is representative of the impact the project is having on the river. Table 1 below outlines the expected sampling analysis and frequency. Table 1: Biological Sampling Outline Analysis to be Performed Frequency of Collection Physicals of Water (flow, , pH) Quarterly (March, June, September, December)* Selenium in Whole-body Fish Mercury in Whole-body Fish Fish Community Assessment Selenium in Fish Muscle Tissue Mercury in Fish Muscle Tissue Selenium in Aquatic Insects Biannual (June & September)* Mercury in Aquatic Insects * The months suggested under frequency are subject to change based on contractor needs (weather, staffing, site conditions etc.).
