Opportunity Summary:
The "2010 2014 Habitat Enhancements at Sterling WMA" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 10SS1S0030) is a discretionary federal funding action from the Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, focused on environment and natural resources work at the Sterling Wildlife Management Area (Sterling WMA) in Idaho. The announcement was posted on February 19, 2010, with a closing date of March 19, 2010, and it was later archived on March 20, 2010. It is tied to CFDA 15.517, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and it anticipates a single award with an estimated total federal funding amount of $65,000. The funding instrument types listed are cooperative agreement and grant, and the project includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement.
A key point of this notice is that it is not a request for applications and should not be read as a competitive solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the Bureau of Reclamation intended to enter into a cost-share grant agreement in 2010 with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, which is also reflected in the eligibility category (state governments). In other words, the agency was signaling its plan to directly partner with the state wildlife agency rather than open the program for general applicants.
The purpose of the planned agreement is to support the continued development, maintenance, and enhancement of wildlife habitat projects at Sterling WMA. The lands at Sterling WMA were acquired by the Bureau of Reclamation specifically as mitigation for adverse impacts to fish and wildlife associated with raising the American Falls Dam as part of the Minidoka Project. The habitat work described is therefore framed as ongoing mitigation and stewardship, aimed at improving both upland and wetland conditions to benefit a broad mix of species, including resident and migratory game and non-game wildlife.
The announcement emphasizes two main habitat components. First, upland vegetation conservation, maintenance, and enhancement is intended to reduce topsoil loss from wind erosion and to inhibit the growth and spread of noxious weeds, which can degrade habitat quality and increase long-term management costs. Second, wetland habitat conservation, enhancement, and creation is intended to expand or improve wetland functions, including increased water storage capacity and better water filtration. Taken together, these actions are presented as practical, on-the-ground habitat improvements that support wildlife while also protecting soil and improving water-related ecosystem services.
