Opportunity Summary:
The "Carp Removal in Utah Lake" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R13SS40018) is a discretionary grant posted by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region. It is framed as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the agency is signaling its intent to make an award for a specific purpose tied to an existing interagency commitment, rather than running a broad, competitive program aimed at generating new project concepts. The funded work under this agreement is narrowly defined: it is solely for carp removal in Utah Lake.
The grant is directly connected to recovery actions laid out in the June Sucker Recovery Plan (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1999). The June sucker is a native fish species with recovery needs in Utah Lake, and carp removal is described here as a recovery implementation activity. Reclamation indicates it previously signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that commits the agency to share responsibilities for June sucker recovery efforts, including providing funding. In practical terms, this grant functions as a mechanism for Reclamation to transfer funds to support those agreed-upon recovery activities, with carp removal being the specific task supported by this particular award.
Administration and fund handling are described through the Central Utah Water Conservancy District. The District established a dedicated account intended to hold and distribute funds for expenses associated with the June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program (JSRIP). Under this agreement, Reclamation will transfer funds into that structure to cover costs tied to implementing the recovery activity, again limited here to carp removal. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the assistance listing references CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act).
In terms of scale and structure, the opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000. The award ceiling is also $5,000,000, with an award floor of $1, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is labeled as "Unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of entity unless further limitations are described elsewhere in the full announcement; however, given the Notice of Intent format and the described funding transfer arrangement, the practical recipient is likely aligned with the existing recovery implementation framework referenced in the notice.
Key dates show this opportunity was posted on July 26, 2013, created on July 30, 2013, and had an original and current closing date of August 9, 2013, with an archive date of August 12, 2013. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact is Melynda Roberts, Grants Specialist, reachable at 801-524-3727 or mroberts@usbr.gov.
