Opportunity Summary:
The Irrigation Water Delivery Metering Project (Funding Opportunity Number R12SS11010) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, under the Water Conservation Field Services Program (CFDA 15.530). The project focuses on expanding irrigation water delivery metering within the Lateral Order Irrigation District (LOID). LOID has been working toward a district-wide goal of installing an irrigation meter at every point of water delivery within its boundaries. This effort is part of a broader push to improve water management by measuring deliveries more precisely, strengthening accountability, and helping the district and water users better understand and manage consumption.
The grant was designed to support LOID in continuing a metering initiative that has been underway since 2005, during which the district installed more than 2,000 meters at irrigation delivery points. The Bureau of Reclamation indicated an intent to provide financial assistance in 2012 specifically to LOID to keep that metering work moving forward. The anticipated conservation outcome of the continued metering work was an estimated water savings in the range of about 48 to 50 acre-feet per year, reflecting expected reductions in waste and improved operational control that typically follow from better measurement and data-driven water management.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $100,000. The award structure was fixed, with an award floor of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000, meaning the expected award amount was essentially set at that level. The opportunity required cost sharing or matching, so LOID would need to contribute non-federal funds and/or allowable in-kind support consistent with program requirements. Eligibility was limited to special district governments, aligning with LOID’s status as an irrigation district.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on June 20, 2012, with an application closing date of July 4, 2012, and an archive date of August 3, 2012. The funding activity category was listed as Natural Resources, consistent with water conservation and efficiency goals. For applicants or stakeholders who needed assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Melinda Ritacco, Financial Assistance Specialist, reachable at (208) 378-5103 or mritacco@usbr.gov.
