Opportunity Summary:
The National Petroleum Reserve Alaska Watershed Hydrology and Climate Monitoring Program Alaska (CESU) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, intended to strengthen long-term understanding and day-to-day management of water resources in and around the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. The central purpose is to collect reliable baseline information on watershed conditions by measuring streamflow, water chemistry, and climate variables at strategically selected monitoring locations. By building a consistent environmental record, the program is designed to complement more localized, project-specific monitoring efforts and to support informed management decisions that protect aquatic systems and water supplies in a challenging Arctic environment.
The work described focuses on establishing and operating a network of field monitoring assets, including river gages for continuous streamflow measurement, meteorological stations for climate and weather observations, water quality assessments for understanding chemical conditions and trends, and snow surveys to characterize snowpack and seasonal water storage. A key operational feature is that data from remote sites are expected to be transmitted in real time via telemetry. Making current conditions available quickly is intended to directly improve management responsiveness, particularly for practical needs like determining safe and sustainable tundra travel conditions and guiding decisions about water withdrawals.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was issued as Funding Opportunity Number BLM AK RFA09 0006 under a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, reflecting a collaborative project structure rather than a simple procurement. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, with the CFDA listing 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $740,000 and an award floor of $150,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was stated.
Eligibility was tied to the CESU framework, meaning applicants were expected to qualify under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) program structure, as indicated in the listing. The opportunity was posted on August 19, 2009, and closed on September 4, 2009, with an archive date of September 22, 2009. The announcement directed applicants to Grants.gov for full details, and provided a point of contact for access issues: Sandra S. Smith (s2smith@blm.gov).
