Opportunity Summary:
Operation and Maintenance of Lone Dome Wetlands Area (Funding Opportunity Number R15SS00001) is a continuation grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on natural resources management. The project builds on earlier cooperative agreements under which Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) developed wetland acreage on CPW land using CPW-held water rights, generating mitigation credits for Reclamation. This opportunity is designed to pay for the ongoing operation and maintenance needed to keep those previously constructed wetlands functioning as intended rather than funding new construction or expansion.
The core purpose of the grant is to support continued operations and maintenance of the wetland infrastructure and to ensure reliable delivery of water necessary to enhance and sustain at least 55 acres of wetlands. CPW would be responsible for maintaining the physical components that make the wetlands work, including headgates, earth-lined ditches, and constructed ponds. In addition to infrastructure upkeep, the grant emphasizes routine management actions that protect wetland condition and ecological function, such as weed management and maintaining fencing to prevent impacts from livestock and motorized vehicle traffic. A key requirement is that CPW must also provide the water it owns to the site, recognizing that long-term wetland health depends not just on structures but on consistent water availability.
Funding is structured as a single expected award totaling $200,000, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $200,000, meaning the award amount is essentially fixed. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to state governments, aligning with CPW as the intended implementer. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.509, Title II, Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program, and was posted on October 1, 2014, with an application deadline of October 15, 2014, and an archive date of November 14, 2014.
