Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation (Great Plains Region) offered a discretionary WaterSMART water conservation grant opportunity titled "Financial Management Support to the North Platte Decree Committee" (Funding Opportunity Number R11SS60011). The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a stand-alone grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of up to $20,000, which also served as the maximum award ceiling; the minimum award floor was listed as $0. A cost-sharing or matching contribution was required, so the recipient would need to provide some portion of project costs or in-kind support consistent with the program requirements.
The work scope focused on practical water conservation and river management actions within the North Platte River system. First, the recipient was to conduct a survey of irrigation practices used by agricultural producers in the North Platte River drainage upstream of Guernsey Dam. In practical terms, this kind of survey typically documents how water is being diverted and applied (for example, irrigation methods, scheduling practices, efficiencies, and operational constraints), and it provides a baseline for identifying conservation opportunities or operational improvements that can help meet decree obligations and improve overall water management.
Second, the recipient was to complete a feasibility design study for bendway weirs near the Wyoming/Nebraska State Line Gage. Bendway weirs are river training structures often used to influence flow patterns, reduce bank erosion, and manage sediment movement, especially in bends or areas with problematic channel migration. A feasibility design study generally evaluates whether the concept is workable at the site, what designs and configurations could function best, expected hydraulic and geomorphic effects, permitting and environmental considerations, approximate costs, and potential benefits and risks. The location near the state line gage indicates the study was tied to a measurement/control point of importance for interstate river administration and compliance.
Eligibility was broadly described as "any eligible applicant for water conservation activities," with applicants directed to the full funding announcement for specific eligibility details. The assistance listing was under CFDA 15.507 (WaterSMART: Sustaining and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow), aligning the project with federal priorities around water conservation and improved water management. The opportunity was posted and opened on July 25, 2011, and it closed on August 5, 2011, with an archive date of August 6, 2011.
For administrative and access questions, the listed point of contact was Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7684.
