Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program CCAO (Funding Opportunity No. 09SF1CCA20) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, focused on supporting practical, on-the-ground water management and water conservation improvements. The program is designed to fund projects taking place during Fiscal Year 2010, with work beginning around October 1, 2009. The central aim is to build partnerships with local entities to implement measures that improve how water is managed and conserved, particularly in irrigation and Reclamation-related delivery systems.
Funding is competitive and proposals are evaluated using selection criteria referenced in the solicitation (notably described as being in Section V of the full announcement). The agency planned to make about 18 awards, drawing from an estimated total funding pool of approximately $777,000. Individual awards are generally expected to fall between $5,000 (award floor) and $100,000 (award ceiling), and while applicants may request any amount of federal funding, the Bureau of Reclamation notes that agreements are typically limited to a maximum of $100,000. The agency also emphasizes that it retains discretion to make awards on a case-by-case basis, which can affect both who is funded and at what level.
Eligibility is targeted primarily to special district governments, with a clear priority for irrigation districts that either hold contracts to use Bureau of Reclamation project water or that use Reclamation project facilities. In other words, organizations directly tied to Reclamation infrastructure and water supplies are expected to be first in line for funding consideration. The notice also leaves room for exceptions, indicating that other applicants may be considered when circumstances justify it, but those decisions are explicitly handled individually rather than automatically.
The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program) and requires cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the program rules) as part of the overall project budget. Administratively, the opportunity was posted June 15, 2009, with an application deadline of October 30, 2009, and it was archived shortly after on October 31, 2009, reflecting a time-limited funding cycle.
