OpportunityTitle: ENGLEBRIGHT DAM REACH/NARROWS REACH CHANNEL HABITAT RESTORATION, YUBA RIVER, CA
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants for Phase 1 are limited to those institutions, organizations or individuals with a background in environmental permitting and project management, and experience working on anadromous fish habitat restoration projects in the Central Valley of California.  Applications from federal agencies or employees of federal agencies cannot be considered.
Description: Phase 1 funding is available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Anadromous Fish Restoration Program to restore channel habitat in the Englebright Dam Reach (EDR) and Narrows Reach (NR) of the Yuba River (Yuba County), California. Fiscal Year 2011 (Phase 1) funding is to assess restoration alternatives and develop a planning document for the EDR and NR, and develop conceptual designs and initiate permitting for a restoration project. It is anticipated that habitat restoration actions would be incrementally implemented as funding becomes available. The following specific objectives are to be addressed in the proposal: 1. Evaluate multiple alternatives (i.e., in terms of cost-effectiveness, expected longevity, expected benefit to fish, etc.) among various potential habitat restoration activities in the EDR and NR (e.g., increasing spawning habitat through the removal of &#147;shot rock,&#148; coupled with implementing different frequencies or amounts of gravel augmentation). 2. Develop a reach-level, habitat restoration planning document including pre- and post-project monitoring for the EDR and NR of the lower Yuba River. 3. Develop conceptual designs and initiate permits for the preferred alternative
