This grant, offered by the Bureau of Reclamation to California State University, Fresno, totals $990,648 to conduct a crucial Floodplain Production Study. The primary purpose of this research is to identify optimal habitat characteristics and floodplain inundation patterns that will best support salmonid rearing objectives for the San Joaquin River Restoration. Key objectives include determining how to develop and manage ephemeral floodplain habitat to maximize benefits for juvenile Chinook salmon, defining suitable rearing habitats considering channel connectivity, seasonal temperatures, and inundation. Additionally, the study aims to prioritize cover types as habitat criteria and evaluate invertebrate and food production specific to the San Joaquin River to enhance understanding of biological and ecosystem processes that contribute to the food supply and influence downstream spring water temperatures.

| Description: | The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a grant agreement to California State University, Fresno under the authority of catalog for domestic assistance (CFDA) 15.555, Public Law 111-11, San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement, Title X, Part I; Section 10002, Section 10004(a)(1)(2), (b)(1); Stipulation of Settlement CIV NO. S-88-1658-LKK/GGH (San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement)—Paragraph 11(a)(2), (b)(1); Paragraph 12, and San Joaquin River Restoration Program Record of Decision dated 09/28/2012—Attachment A, p.26. Estimated total amount of agreement is $990,648.00, with Reclamation providing $352,797.00. The purpose of this study is to identify habitat characteristics and floodplain inundation regimes that can best support San Joaquin River Restoration salmonid rearing objectives. The principal objectives of this experiment are to: (1) Identify when and how ephemeral floodplain habitat can be developed and managed to maximize benefits to juvenile Chinook salmon, (2) Define and identify suitable rearing habitat considering connectivity with the channel, seasonal temperature, and inundation, (3) Develop and prioritize cover types as habitat criteria and (4) Evaluate invertebrate or other food production specific to the San Joaquin River to better understand biological processes that will contribute to food supply, ecosystem processes, and incremental contribution of floodplain inundation on downstream spring water temperatures.
