Opportunity Summary:
The FY2010 National Dam Safety Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 10 MT 041 000 01) is a mandatory FEMA grant under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designed to strengthen and sustain state-level dam safety programs. FEMA’s central goal is public protection: reducing the risk of dam failure and the downstream consequences to people, property, and critical infrastructure across the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The program focuses on helping governments maintain the core capabilities needed to manage dam safety as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time project.
FEMA anticipated making 51 awards, corresponding to the 50 U.S. states plus the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The estimated total funding available was $7,399,100, and the listing indicates an award ceiling of $7,399,100 (reflecting the total amount available under the announcement). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning eligible applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 97.041 (National Dam Safety Program).
Eligibility was limited to state governments, specifically the established state dam safety programs in each of the 50 states and Puerto Rico. This makes it a targeted intergovernmental funding opportunity aimed at bolstering official regulatory and safety oversight functions rather than supporting private organizations, local governments, or individuals directly.
In terms of what the funding supports, the announcement emphasizes practical, prevention-oriented work that reduces dam-related hazards. Examples highlighted include developing or strengthening regulatory authority governing the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of dams; performing dam inspections as part of a systematic safety oversight regime; and developing Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) for dams so that dam owners, operators, and emergency managers have clear procedures for warning, evacuation, and response if conditions deteriorate or a failure becomes imminent. Taken together, these activities are meant to improve readiness and oversight across the full life cycle of dams, from design and construction through long-term operation and maintenance.
Key dates in the public posting show the opportunity was posted on June 2, 2010. The original closing date was June 30, 2010, later extended, with the current closing date listed as August 25, 2010. The archive date was September 24, 2010. Additional details and official application materials were available through Grants.gov, and applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to contact the FEMA Call Center at 866-927-5646.
