Least Chub Habitat Sensitivity Study
Fish and Wildlife Service
About This Grant
This is a Notice of Intent to award a Grant to State of Utah, Department of Natural Resources, for the purpose of conducting a habitat sensitivity study for the Least Chub. Analyze relationships of groundwater levels, precipitation, and evapotranspiration to the volume and surface area of aquatic habitat. Assess how spring discharge rates are related to variation in the volume of water and the depth of sediments in sampling units. Analyze relationships of solute concentrations in the sampling units to groundwater levels, spring discharge rates, precipitation, and evapotranspiration. Provide a statistical model for predicting variation in the surface area of aquatic habitat in the Leland Harris Spring Complex based on variation of groundwater levels, precipitation, and estimated rates of evapotranspiration. Provide a statistical model for predicting variation in the volume of aquatic habitat in the Leland Harris Spring Complex based on variation of groundwater levels, precipitation, and estimated rates of evapotranspiration. Provide Color-coded maps showing predicting amounts of surface water (extent and depths) under multiple scenarios for reductions in groundwater levels. Evaluate Least Chub habitat requirements on a seasonal basis (considering both breeding habitat and core habitat), and assessment of how amounts of suitable habitat are likely to change with changes in spring discharge rates (which influence solute concentrations, the amount of ice-free habitat in the winter, sediment transport, and is hypothesized to influence surface water levels) and precipitation (which influences amounts of surface water in pools). Provide a summary assessment of relationships between groundwater levels and the amount of suitable habitat for Least Chub at the Leland Harris Spring Complex. Past habitat data indicate that water depth is positively related to the presence and abundance of Least Chub during relatively dry times of the year (e.g., late summer), so the amount of water of adequate depth will be one of the dependent variables considered in this assessment. Other variables that will be considered include solute concentrations and interconnectivity of bodies of water.

Least Chub Habitat Sensitivity Study: Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for the Least Chub Habitat Sensitivity Study?
Least Chub Habitat Sensitivity Study is offered by Fish and Wildlife Service and is generally open to eligible organizations. It is open to organizations nationwide unless the funder specifies otherwise. Review the specific eligibility terms before applying, since funders set their own requirements around organization type, location, and the population or project being served.
How much funding does the Least Chub Habitat Sensitivity Study provide?
Least Chub Habitat Sensitivity Study provides between $40K and $40K per award from Fish and Wildlife Service. Actual award sizes depend on the scope of your project, available program funds, and the number of applicants, so build a budget that reflects realistic, allowable costs rather than the maximum figure.
When is the Least Chub Habitat Sensitivity Study deadline?
Least Chub Habitat Sensitivity Study accepts applications on a rolling or ongoing basis, so there is no single fixed deadline. Confirm current timing with the funder, Fish and Wildlife Service, before you apply, and submit as early as possible because rolling programs can close once funds are committed.
How do you apply for the Least Chub Habitat Sensitivity Study?
To apply for Least Chub Habitat Sensitivity Study, confirm your eligibility, gather the required documents, and prepare a narrative and budget that address the funder's priorities. FindGrants guides you step by step and can draft each section, then exports a submission-ready application pack for this grant from Fish and Wildlife Service.
