Opportunity Summary:

The "Lame Deer Transfer Station Water Service" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR GP 16 N006) was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.519. It was posted as a discretionary funding opportunity in the natural resources category, with funding planned through a cooperative agreement. In practical terms, a cooperative agreement typically means the federal agency expects to have a more active role than in a standard grant, such as providing technical input, coordination, or oversight during project implementation.

The project itself was narrowly defined and infrastructure-focused: installing a water pipeline and an associated booster pump station to serve the transfer station in Lame Deer, Montana. A pipeline installation generally involves trenching and placement of the water line, connection to an existing source or distribution system, and restoration of disturbed areas. The booster pump station component indicates the system likely needs additional pressure to move water reliably to or through the transfer station site, which can be necessary due to elevation changes, distance, or system pressure constraints. A booster station commonly includes pumps, power and controls, valves and fittings, pressure management and protection devices, and housing or site improvements needed to operate safely and maintain the equipment.

Funding was limited and targeted. The award ceiling was listed at $90,000, and the agency anticipated making one award, signaling that this was intended to support a single, specific project rather than a broad competitive program with multiple recipients. The opportunity was created on August 23, 2016, with an original application closing date of September 6, 2016, which reflects a short application window consistent with a focused, project-specific cooperative agreement.

Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others," with additional details referenced in the full announcement under an eligibility clarification field. That kind of eligibility label is often used when the agency expects applicants to be specific types of entities not neatly captured by standard categories (for example, tribal governments or tribal organizations, local or regional service providers, or other community-based entities), and it typically means applicants needed to review the posted eligibility language carefully to confirm they qualified before applying.

Overall, the opportunity centered on improving or extending reliable water service to a critical facility in Lame Deer by funding the construction of a pipeline and a booster pump station, with a single award of up to $90,000 administered via a cooperative agreement through the Bureau of Reclamation.
