Opportunity Summary:
The Lake Woollomes Recreation Upgrades grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R13AS20012) is a continuation cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region. It was posted on April 16, 2013 and closed on April 30, 2013, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000. The award range was listed with a floor of $150,000 and a ceiling of $350,000, and the agency anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding falls under the Natural Resources activity category and references CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). Eligible applicants were limited to state governments.
The opportunity is framed around the idea that the proposed recipient is uniquely positioned to carry out the work because of a long-standing Management Agreement between the United States of America and the Kern County Parks and Recreation Department. That agreement, dated February 6, 1973, covers development, administration, operation, and maintenance of recreation and related purposes at Lake Woollomes for a 50-year term (through 2023). Kern County Parks and Recreation is described as having on-site infrastructure that directly supports effective management, including employee housing that strengthens security coverage at the lake and a maintenance shop that allows repairs and routine upkeep to be handled quickly. These on-the-ground capabilities are presented as essential to meeting the performance expectations tied to the management arrangement.
The proposed project focuses on practical, site-based improvements to address environmental degradation and visitor safety while also enhancing habitat protection. Key needs include reducing erosion along lake banks, restoring vegetation in areas where trees have died or been damaged (and where visitor shade has been lost), repairing and maintaining roadways to improve public safety, and further developing a wetlands area to protect local waterfowl and migratory birds by discouraging public access into sensitive nesting and feeding zones. Specific planned actions include planting replacement shade trees in roughly 100 locations affected over time by mortality and wind damage, installing erosion control measures to stabilize and prevent continued loss of shoreline edges, and upgrading the wetlands area to expand or improve wildlife habitat and nesting potential for both local and migratory waterfowl.
