Opportunity Summary:
The Taneum Creek Fish Passage and Water Delivery grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 09SP1U1450) was a discretionary grant offered through the Bureau of Reclamation in the Pacific Northwest Region. It was listed under the Environment funding activity category and tied to CFDA 15.531, the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project (YRBWEP). The announcement was posted and created on September 8, 2009, with an application closing date of September 18, 2009, and it was archived on September 19, 2009. The Bureau expected to make a single award under this opportunity.
The purpose of the grant was to support work in Washington State focused on improving both ecological conditions and water supply reliability in the Taneum Creek area. Specifically, the Bureau of Reclamation stated its intent to award the grant to the Kittitas Conservation Trust for the design and construction of infrastructure that would include a new surface water diversion and one or more groundwater wells. The project concept reflects a common approach in basin enhancement efforts: shifting or supplementing water supply sources and improving diversion structures so that streamflows can be left in-channel when possible, which in turn can improve habitat conditions for fish and wildlife while still meeting local water needs.
From an outcomes perspective, the project was framed around two connected goals. First, it aimed to improve flows in the creek in a way that benefits fish and wildlife, which typically includes improvements that help maintain more stable instream flow conditions and reduce impacts associated with older or less efficient diversion methods. Second, it aimed to improve water delivery for practical uses, namely irrigation and stock water. By designing and building a new diversion and developing groundwater well capacity for the water users, the project was intended to provide a more dependable and better-managed supply while reducing pressure on surface flows during sensitive periods.
Funding for the opportunity was fixed at $59,500, which was also the award ceiling and award floor, meaning the Bureau anticipated awarding exactly that amount rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants. Eligibility was limited to special district governments, and the opportunity was structured around making one targeted award, consistent with the stated intent to fund Kittitas Conservation Trust for this specific project rather than run a broad competitive program for multiple recipients.
