Opportunity Summary:
The June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program (Funding Opportunity Number R12SS40029) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region discretionary grant intended to fund on-the-ground recovery actions for the June sucker, as laid out in the June Sucker Recovery Plan (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1999). The announcement is issued as a "Notice of Intent to Award," which signals that Reclamation is planning to make a specific award to carry out predefined recovery activities rather than running a broad, competitive solicitation for multiple recipients.
The core purpose of the funding is to support implementation work tied to June sucker recovery in Utah Lake, with the specific activity highlighted in the notice being carp removal and disposal. Carp are an invasive species that can degrade water quality and habitat conditions, so removal is positioned as a practical habitat-improvement measure aligned with the recovery plan’s objectives.
Reclamation’s involvement is grounded in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in which the agency agreed to share responsibilities for recovery efforts, including providing funding. The Central Utah Water Conservancy District is referenced as having established an account to receive and distribute funds for recovery implementation expenses. The notice explains that, through the agreement associated with this grant, Reclamation will transfer funds to support costs tied to completing those recovery activities. The text also references the San Juan Recovery Implementation Program (SJRIP) account structure, indicating that an existing financial mechanism is being used to manage and disburse recovery-related funds.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $500,000, meaning a single award is expected for the full amount. The opportunity anticipates one award and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Environment, and the CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number provided is 15.517, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on August 15, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2012, and an archive date of August 30, 2012. Eligibility is listed as "Unrestricted," meaning it is open in principle to any type of applicant unless further limited by additional eligibility language in the full announcement; however, because it is a Notice of Intent to Award with one expected recipient, it is effectively targeted to a specific implementing partner rather than a wide applicant pool.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact is Carla Pickering, Grant Specialist, reachable by phone at 801-524-3716, with an email address indicated in the notice (not fully displayed in the provided text).
