Stream Flow Enhancement Program 2020 Proposal Solicitation Notice

Details
Purpose:
Wildlife Conservation Board's Stream Flow Enhancement Program's Solicitation is seeking multi-benefit projects that result in enhanced stream flow. The primary focus is on enhancing flow in streams that support anadromous fish; support special status, threatened, endangered, or at-risk species; and/or provide resilience to climate change.
Description:
Under the Solicitation, approximately $50 million is anticipated to be available for award. Funding for Scientific Studies will be limited to $3 million through this Solicitation.
The goals of the Stream Flow Enhancement Program are threefold:
Support projects that lead to meaningful increases in the availability and/or quality of water in streams, particularly by protecting and restoring functional ecological flows for streams identified as priority for fish and wildlife. Support projects that work to remove key barriers to securing enhanced flows for nature (e.g., by making it easier to change the timing of flows as needed or streamlining processes for long-term transfers of water for stream flow). Support projects that allocate resources for infrastructure (e.g., gauges) for evaluating stream flow conditions and stream responses to enhancement efforts.
WCB will allocate SFEP funds to projects that enhance stream flows and are consistent with the objectives and actions outlined in the CWAP, with the primary focus of enhancing flow in streams that support anadromous fish; special status, threatened, endangered or at-risk species; and/or provide resilience to climate change.
Eligible entities are California public agencies (including public California universities), nonprofit organizations registered in California, public utilities, federally recognized Indian tribes, state Indian tribes listed on the Native American Heritage Commission’s California Tribal Consultation List, and mutual water companies (California Water Code § 79712(a)).
