This grant is for protecting, restoring, and enhancing fish, wildlife, and their habitats within California’s Central Valley and Trinity River basins. The Central Valley Project (CVP) has impacted critical salmonid habitats, particularly for Chinook salmon and Steelhead Trout, leading to reduced spawning gravel, diminished rearing areas, and infrastructure issues causing juvenile entrainment, passage impairment, and increased predation. This initiative aims to reverse these negative effects by improving habitat conditions and upgrading facilities. Furthermore, the grant seeks to enhance the operational flexibility of the CVP and achieve a balanced allocation of water resources, serving the needs of fish and wildlife alongside agricultural, municipal, industrial, and power sectors.

| Description: | The rivers of the Central Valley of California support populations of Fall Run Chinook, Spring Run Chinook, and Winter Run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Steelhead Trout (O. Mykiss). Water resources development, stream channel manipulations, and other anthropogenic actions have reduced and modified historical salmonid habitats. Gravel is regularly transported from spawning sites on the river and there is less utilizable rearing habitat. Infrastructure entrains juveniles, impairs passage, and increases susceptibility to predation.Relevant purposes of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) include:To protect, restore, and enhance fish, wildlife, and associated habitats in the Central Valley and Trinity River basins of California;To address impacts of the Central Valley Project (CVP) on fish, wildlife and associated habitats;To improve the operational flexibility of the CVP;To achieve a reasonable balance among competing demands for use of CVP water, including the requirements of fish and wildlife, agricultural, municipal and industrial and power contractors. |
