Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Development, Management, and Protection of Indian Tribal Water Resources" (Funding Opportunity Number R12SF11007) is a discretionary funding program offered by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region. Its central purpose is to support Federally recognized Indian Tribes in projects that strengthen the development, day-to-day management, and long-term protection of tribal water resources. The program is designed around partnership: tribes are encouraged to combine their own funding and capacity with Bureau of Reclamation support to carry out practical improvements that make tribal irrigation and water-delivery systems more effective and reliable.
The kinds of activities this opportunity targets are largely infrastructure and system-efficiency upgrades for irrigation water supply, conveyance, and distribution. The announcement highlights examples such as piping and lining canals and laterals to reduce seepage and losses, installing automation to improve operational control, and adding water measurement devices to support accurate accounting and better management decisions. In general, the focus is on projects that reduce waste, improve delivery efficiency, and modernize how irrigation water is moved and managed, which can help tribes stretch limited water supplies, improve system performance, and reduce operational issues tied to aging or inefficient infrastructure.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are Federally recognized. In addition, a key location and program requirement applies: to qualify for funding, the tribe must have tribal irrigation projects or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) irrigation projects located within the administrative boundaries of the Bureau of Reclamation's Snake River Area Office. The announcement notes that a map of these administrative boundaries is provided in Section VIII of the Funding Opportunity Announcement, and applicants would need to confirm that their relevant irrigation project(s) fall within that service area to be considered eligible.
In terms of funding structure, awards are offered either as grants or cooperative agreements, meaning the Bureau of Reclamation may have an active involvement role depending on the project and award instrument used. The total estimated funding available under this opportunity is $40,000, with an award ceiling of $20,000, and the agency expects to make approximately two awards. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.519 (Indian Tribal Water Resources Development, Management, and Protection). The announcement indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can lower the barrier for tribes that may have limited ability to provide a formal match, even though the program encourages leveraging tribal resources in a broader sense.
The opportunity was posted on April 11, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 11, 2012, and it was archived on May 12, 2012.
