Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) grant opportunity from the Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, Snake River Area Office, was a Fiscal Year 2010 funding announcement intended to support practical, on-the-ground water conservation and water management improvements in northern Idaho. The program was structured to help local and regional water managers stretch limited budgets by partnering with Reclamation through cost-shared projects that improve how water is planned, delivered, measured, and operated. In plain terms, Reclamation was looking to invest alongside eligible entities in projects that would save water, increase overall water-use efficiency, and make water system operations more efficient and reliable.
This opportunity was offered under Funding Opportunity Number 10SF1S0032 and fell under a discretionary funding category. Awards were to be made using either a grant or a cooperative agreement, meaning projects could involve a standard financial assistance award or a more collaborative arrangement where Reclamation may have more substantial involvement during implementation, depending on the project. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing was 15.530, which corresponds to the Water Conservation Field Services Program. The announcement specified a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants needed to contribute their own funds and/or resources rather than relying entirely on federal dollars. Total estimated funding available across awards was listed as $140,000.
The main purpose of the funding was centered on two types of activities. First, Reclamation invited proposals that focused on developing written water management plans or water conservation plans. These plans were expected to be more than general studies; they were meant to be actionable documents that would lead to later implementation of tangible improvements such as conveyance upgrades, improved water measurement, and operational changes. Second, the program also supported implementation work, but specifically implementation of activities that had already been identified in an approved, written water management and/or conservation plan. In other words, applicants could seek support either to create a strong planning foundation that directly points to future improvements, or to carry out specific plan-driven conservation actions that were already vetted and documented.
Eligibility was relatively targeted. To qualify, an applicant had to have water delivery authority or water management authority and also have a defined relationship to a Bureau of Reclamation project located within the northern Idaho area under the Snake River Area Office administrative boundaries. The announcement explicitly listed examples of eligible applicants, including irrigation and water districts, tribal water authorities, and state governmental entities that have water management authority (such as state agencies, departments, or boards). Other entities could also be eligible if they had water delivery authority and the required relationship to a northern Idaho Reclamation project, with further eligibility detail referenced in Section III of the formal funding opportunity announcement.
Timing for the solicitation was brief and clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on May 5, 2010, and the closing date for proposals was May 20, 2010. The archive date was May 21, 2010, indicating the solicitation was no longer active after that point. Although the program is described as supporting Federal fiscal year 2010 (October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010), the proposal window itself occurred in May 2010, so applicants needed to be prepared to submit quickly and to complete proposed work within the relevant federal funding timeframe and award conditions.
