Opportunity Summary:
The Sacramento Valley Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Revision and Implementation Grants (Funding Opportunity Number R10AF20024) was a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), Mid-Pacific Region, through its Northern California Area Office. The program was designed to provide financial assistance through grants or cooperative agreements for projects tied to integrated regional water management in the Sacramento Valley area. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on helping applicants either develop and improve formal written water management or water conservation plans, or carry out on-the-ground actions that are already identified in those written plans.
The core purpose of the funding was to strengthen planning and implementation that improves water management outcomes. BOR indicated it would support several broad types of work: preparing or revising written water management and conservation plans; implementing specific activities that are identified within those plans (including projects that move from planning into execution); demonstrating new, innovative, or previously unproven water management technologies and practices; and conducting efforts that improve public or stakeholder understanding of good water-use practices and principles. Taken together, the opportunity emphasized both the planning backbone (clear, written, actionable plans) and tangible implementation, while also leaving room for demonstration projects that test emerging technologies or methods.
Administratively, the opportunity was tied to the Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP), listed under CFDA 15.530. The total estimated funding available was $860,000, with BOR anticipating about 8 awards. Individual awards ranged from a $5,000 minimum (award floor) up to a $400,000 maximum (award ceiling). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a portion of project costs through non-federal funds or eligible in-kind contributions, consistent with the terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of applicant entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that would have been included in the full FOA text. Applicants were also required to comply with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) requirement, which at the time was the federal system used to register entities seeking to do business with the U.S. government (the notice directed applicants to http://www.ccr.gov). This requirement signaled that applicants needed to be properly registered in the federal vendor/applicant system to be considered for funding.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on April 14, 2010, with an original closing date of May 14, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of May 28, 2010. The opportunity was archived on June 1, 2010. For questions and assistance, the listed point of contact was Maria E. Castaneda, Grants Officer, at the Bureau of Reclamation (phone 916-978-5148, email mcastaneda@usbr.gov).
