Opportunity Summary:
The "Colorado Basin States Salinity Control Projects" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR UC 16 N008) is a continuation funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Bureau of Reclamation expects to remain actively involved with the recipient during project planning and execution rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity is categorized under Agriculture, and the associated CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.509, which aligns with Reclamation water-related assistance programs.
The purpose of the opportunity is to use Basin States Program Salinity Funds to support practical, cost-effective actions that reduce salinity loading within the Colorado River Basin. The announcement indicates Reclamation’s intent to work specifically with the Colorado Department of Agriculture as the recipient. Supported efforts may address salinity originating from several common sources, including saline springs, leaking wells, irrigation-related return flows, industrial sources, and erosion affecting both public and private lands. In addition to on-the-ground measures and related infrastructure or “associated works,†the scope explicitly includes studies, planning, and administrative functions needed to design, coordinate, and manage salinity control activities.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the structure of the announcement reflects that it is expected to result in a single award. The anticipated award ceiling is up to $6,000,000, with one award expected, indicating a relatively focused, state-level effort rather than a competitive multi-recipient program. Key dates listed for the opportunity include a creation and posting date of March 31, 2016, and a closing date of April 15, 2016 (with both the original and current closing date shown as the same). Overall, the opportunity centers on partnering with a state agency to implement and manage targeted salinity reduction measures in the Colorado River Basin using dedicated Basin States salinity control funding.
