| Obtain Funding Opportunity Text: Not Available |
| Funding Opportunity Description: Funding is available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Red Bluff Fish and Wildlife Office, Endangered Species Program. The funding will be used to evaluate the environmental effects of a proposal to implement a case study that will experimentally remove barred owls that have colonized northern and California spotted owl habitats in California that meet the following criteria: 1) Within the range of northern or California spotted owls, and 2) has adequate baseline information that will provide insights into spotted owl response. In areas of barred owl removal, monitoring will occur for at least five years to determine the success of spotted owl recolonization. The information learned from this case study will contribute to the knowledge base of competitive interactions between spotted owls and barred owls and be used to recommend management actions that reduce the negative effects on spotted owls and promote recovery of northern spotted owl across its? range and the conservation of California spotted owl.Barred owls will be removed from study areas for a period of ten years after the Record of Decision has been finalized. Removal would be in the form of lethal control. Barred owls will be called using standard survey techniques and lethally controlled with shotguns.We hypothesize that lethal control of barred owls will ensure hybridization does not take place and northern spotted owls recolonize areas now occupied by barred owls. Monitoring will determine whether these hypotheses are valid. |

| Title: MERCED RIVER CHANNEL RESTORATION NEAR SNELLING, SAN JOAQUIN BASIN, CALIFORNIA PHASE I |
| Post Date: 05-06-2008 |
| Agency: Department of the Interior |
| Obtain Funding Opportunity Text: Not Available |
| Funding Opportunity Description: The applicant will partner with Santa Fe Aggregates, Inc. (SFA), an aggregate mining company with plans to remove dredger tailings down to the natural floodplain surface beginning in approximately 2012 at a 600+ acre site near Snelling. The applicant will develop the planning and environmental documents to restore in-river spawning and rearing habitats for anadromous salmonids adjacent to the SFA site. Approximately 2 miles of river channel would be targeted for restoration activities, which would focus on the ditch-like channels and armored spawning beds. Within the ditch-like channels, restoration objectives would be to construct habitat units consisting of an 80- to 100-foot long, pool-tail shaped spawning bed and a 100-foot long, 4+ foot deep pool immediately downstream of each bed. Existing pools are not to be filled. Spawning-sized gravels would be added to armored spawning beds. The applicant may utilize environmental documents and hydraulic models developed for the river channel and floodplain that are being developed by SFA for their mining project. The applicant should assume that the river channel will not be realigned and that all mature native tree species will be preserved. SFA may provide labor and aggregate materials for this project.Phase I funding beginning in Fiscal Year 2008 is to develop the channel restoration and monitoring plans and environmental documents with input from landowners, SFA, and the local resource agencies. It is anticipated that the construction and biological monitoring phases of this project will be incrementally implemented in later phases as funding becomes available. |

| Post Date: 05-06-2008 |
| Agency: Department of the Interior |
| Obtain Funding Opportunity Text: Not Available |
| Funding Opportunity Description: The Merced River Ranch (MRR), a 318-acre site owned by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), occupies approximately 1 river mile of the Merced River?s 7-mile dredger tailings reach (DTR), in Merced County, CA. The DTR has been severely impacted by historic gold dredger mining, which covered the floodplain in dredger tailings that are largely barren of vegetation. This project is intended to restore and create salmon spawning and rearing habitat, conserve, and revegetate riparian habitat, enhance public access, and provide interpretive opportunities.This Phase I funding (beginning in Fiscal Year 2008) is to update and complete the existing restoration and monitoring plans (75% completed), prepare current environmental documents for circulation and filing, and finalize all necessary environmental permit application and file for implementation. The plans focus on improving salmon spawning habitat through gravel augmentation and restoring approximately 60 acres of floodplain along 3,600 linear feet of river channel along both sides of the river. The applicant will partner with CDFG to finalize the channel (i.e., gravel augmentation) and floodplain restoration design and monitoring plans and environmental documents with input from local stakeholders and resource agencies. It is anticipated that the implementation/construction and biological monitoring phases of this project will be incrementally implemented in later phases as funding becomes available. |

| Title: TUOLUMNE RIVER BOBCAT FLAT GRAVEL AUGMENTATION PROJECT, SAN JOAQUIN BASIN, CALIFORNIA PHASE II |
| Post Date: 05-06-2008 |
| Agency: Department of the Interior |
| Obtain Funding Opportunity Text: Not Available |
| Funding Opportunity Description: Bobcat Flat is an approximately 280-acre floodplain parcel adjacent to 1.6 miles of the Tuolumne River channel that was degraded by dredger mining for gold in the early 1900s. As the dredgers excavated gravel to bedrock, usually to a depth of up to 25 feet, the salmonid spawning and rearing habitats were destroyed. The tailings were deposited in long rows on the floodplain which confined flood flows to the channel. The property is owned by the Friends of the Tuolumne. Phase 1 of this project was implemented in summer 2005 and involved placing approximately 12,000 cubic yards of course sediment along a 2,000 ft reach.This project will provide funding for Phase II in Fiscal Year 2008 to plan, permit, and implement up to 35,000 cubic yards of spawning gravel placement and floodplain restoration in the Tuolumne River at Bobcat Flat. Approximately 12,000 cubic yards of sediment has been stockpiled on site from Phase I, whereas an additional 23,000 yards will have to be processed for Phase II. Restoration objectives would be to construct habitat units consisting of an approximately 80- to 100-foot long, pool-tail shaped spawning bed and a 100-foot long, 4+ foot deep pool immediately downstream of each bed. It is anticipated that gravel will be excavated, graded, cleaned and processed on site, and that floodplain contouring, restoration, and inundation channels will be created to avoid stranding juvenile fish. The applicant should assume that the river channel will not be realigned, mature native tree species will be preserved, and that extensive revegetation with native plants will occur. The proposal for Phase II should include three tasks: 1) development of a channel and floodplain restoration and monitoring plan for a 2000-foot-long reach of the Tuolumne River at Bobcat Flat, 2) outreach to local landowners and stakeholders, and 3) acquisition of environmental permits and implementation sufficient to restore 500 feet (i.e., one quarter of the Phase II restoration reach) of the Tuolumne River. Funding for completion of permitting and implementation for the entire Phase II reach may be available at a later date. |

| Funding Opportunity Description: The applicant will partner with Santa Fe Aggregates, Inc. (SFA), an aggregate mining company with plans to remove dredger tailings down to the natural floodplain surface beginning in approximately Fiscal Year 2012 at a 600+ acre site near Snelling. SFA will leave a 100-foot wide berm of tailings along the river for their mining project. The applicant will develop the planning and environmental documents to remove and restore the 100-foot wide berm to recreate seasonally-inundated floodplain habitat along approximately 2 miles of river channel. The applicant may utilize environmental documents and hydraulic models developed for the river channel and floodplain that are being developed by SFA for their mining project. The applicant should assume that the river channel will not be realigned and that all mature native tree species will be preserved; gravel will be removed and the site will be graded; inundation channels will be created to avoid stranding juvenile fish; and that extensive revegetation with native plants will occur. SFA may provide labor and aggregate materials for this project. Processing on-site dredger tailings for floodplain restoration should minimize the costs of trucking aggregate materials and traffic impacts. It is also possible that SFA could sell dredger tailings that need to be removed to restore floodplain habitats and the proceeds could be used to offset a portion of the restoration costs.Phase I funding beginning in Fiscal Year 2008 is to develop the floodplain restoration and monitoring plans and environmental documents with input from landowners, SFA, and the local resource agencies. It is anticipated that the construction and biological monitoring phases of this project will be incrementally implemented in later phases as funding becomes available. |

The funding will be used to evaluate the environmental effects of a proposal to implement a case study that will experimentally remove barred owls that have colonized northern and California spotted owl habitats in California that meet the following criteria: 1) Within the range of northern or California spotted owls, and 2) has adequate baseline information that will provide insights into spotted owl response. In areas of barred owl removal, monitoring will occur for at least five years to determine the success of spotted owl recolonization. The information learned from this case study will contribute to the knowledge base of competitive interactions between the three species and be used to recommend management actions that reduce the negative effects on spotted owls and promote recovery across their respective ranges.All barred owls will be removed from study areas for a period of ten years after the Record of Decision has been finalized. Removal would be in the form of lethal control by Federal or State biologists. Barred owls will be called using standard survey techniques and lethally controlled with shotguns.We hypothesize that lethal control of barred owls will ensure hybridization does not take place and northern spotted owls recolonize areas now occupied by barred owls. Monitoring will determine whether these hypotheses are valid. |
