Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Scott River Water Trust Instream Water Leasing" (Funding Opportunity Number R14AN20006) is a discretionary grant notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region. The agency states its intent to award a single grant agreement, estimated at a total of $50,000, to support the Scott River Water Trust Program. The funding is tied to CFDA 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1934 (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq., as amended), along with related Bureau of Reclamation authority cited as 255 DM 1.1B. The overall focus is natural resources, specifically improving instream habitat conditions in the Scott River.

The central purpose of the proposed award is to improve habitat conditions in the Scott River in order to preserve and support coho salmon, which the notice highlights as a species valued by the American public and internationally. By improving river conditions, the project is also expected to benefit other fish species, including chinook salmon, which are noted as harvestable. Although the notice does not spell out project activities in detail, the title and framing indicate an instream water leasing approach, meaning water is likely secured or managed in a way that keeps more water in the river at critical times to support fish and ecosystem needs.

A key point in this announcement is that it is a Notice of Intent to award and not a competitive solicitation. The Bureau of Reclamation explicitly says this notice is not a request for proposals, and it references an internal determination not to compete the assistance action under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2) and (4). In practical terms, this means the government had already identified Scott River Water Trust as the intended recipient and is publicly documenting that intent rather than inviting applications to select among multiple applicants.

Even though the opportunity lists a broad range of eligible applicant types (including nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, tribal governments, state and local governments, individuals, for-profit organizations, small businesses, and institutions of higher education), the intent language makes clear the planned award is directed to Scott River Water Trust. The grant has no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and the award ceiling is the full $50,000 (with an award floor of $0), reinforcing that the total anticipated agreement amount aligns with the maximum stated funding.

The opportunity was posted on June 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 2, 2014, and an archive date of July 3, 2014. The System for Award Management (SAM) registration requirements apply, which is standard for entities receiving federal financial assistance. The point of contact listed for questions is Judy A. Hudson, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at jhudson@usbr.gov.
