The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Anadromous Fish Restoration Program is offering a grant to address the issue of juvenile salmonid entrainment into diversion ditches at Edwards dam. The grant aims to fund environmental documentation, permits, and design to minimize this impact. The current screens at Los Molinos Mutual Water Company and Edwards diversion ditches are not effectively preventing entrainment, and the presence of New Creek further complicates the situation. Applicants have the opportunity to propose solutions to enhance fish passage and protect the local ecosystem. Application deadline: Jul 03, 2008.

| Description: | Funding is available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Anadromous Fish Restoration Program to complete environmental documentation, permits, and design of a solution to minimize juvenile salmonid entrainment into the Edwards and Los Molinos diversion ditches at Edwards dam. Currently, the Los Molinos Mutual Water Company and Edwards diversion ditches are screened; however no system was installed during screen construction to minimize juvenile salmonid entrainment. The screens are located a fair distance down the diversions. One factor that complicates this facility is New Creek, an overflow channel, runs between the two diversion ditches. |

Version History
| Version | Modification Description | Updated Date |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation has been removed from the original RFP. Changes include: design for both diversions to minimize entrainment of juvenile salmonids; a proposal analysis to show why your proposal is the best biologically, physically, and structurally compared to other reasonable alternatives that could be implemented at that site.
Mandatory walk-through meeting to be set up. Contact Brenda Olson as soon as possible with contact information so she can inform you when the meeting will occur. |
