Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Paiute Participation in the Long Term Experimental and Management Plan for the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program" (Funding Opportunity Number R13SS40023), is a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Reclamation (Upper Colorado Region). It supports involvement connected to the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will guide the adoption of a Long Term Experimental and Management Plan (LTEMP) for Glen Canyon Dam operations. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help ensure that Southern Paiute perspectives, knowledge, and concerns are meaningfully represented as the federal government evaluates and plans how the dam will be operated and studied over the next several decades.
The underlying federal action described in the notice is the joint effort by the Bureau of Reclamation and the National Park Service to prepare an EIS for Glen Canyon Dam operations. The EIS is intended to fully evaluate different dam operating approaches and lay out management actions and experimental options that can be used to adaptively manage the dam for roughly the next 15 to 20 years. The LTEMP framework is positioned as both a management plan and a science-driven experimental program: it is designed to expand scientific understanding of the downstream ecosystem while also improving and protecting key resources below the dam.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is legal and policy compliance while balancing resource protection and river operations. The LTEMP is framed around maintaining compliance with important governing authorities, including the Grand Canyon Protection Act (GCPA), the Law of the River (the collection of compacts, treaties, laws, court decisions, and agreements governing Colorado River management), and the Endangered Species Act. The opportunity also notes the significance of this EIS as a milestone: it is described as the first EIS focused on Glen Canyon Dam operations since the earlier Glen Canyon Dam EIS and since the establishment of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP). That context signals that the LTEMP EIS is meant to update and potentially reshape how adaptive management experiments and operational decisions are carried out moving forward.
The cultural and geographic rationale for Paiute participation is stated clearly. The traditional lands of the Southern Paiute people are described as extending along more than 600 miles of the Colorado River, from the Kaiparowits Plateau in the north to Blythe, California in the south. The announcement also emphasizes that Southern Paiute people hold a special responsibility to protect and manage these lands and waters and everything on and within them. In effect, the grant is tied to supporting tribal engagement in a process that can affect river flows, sediment, habitat conditions, cultural resources, and other downstream values across a broad stretch of river corridor and connected landscapes.
On the administrative side, the award is a grant (not a contract), categorized under an environmental funding activity, with CFDA number 15.511 (Cultural Resources Management). The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000 and an award ceiling of $20,000 (the floor is listed as $1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants who may not have non-federal funds available to contribute. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might be included in the full announcement text.
Key dates show that this was a time-limited opportunity: it was posted on August 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2013, and an archive date of August 25, 2013. The listed contact for access issues or questions is Melynda Roberts, Grants Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 801-524-3727 or by email at morberts@usbr.gov.
