Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program Snake River Area Office opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 11SF1S0036) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, specifically the Snake River Area Office. It offered financial assistance through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program). The funding was aimed at supporting water conservation-related work during Federal fiscal year 2011, covering the period from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.
A key eligibility condition was geographic: proposed activities had to take place within the administrative boundaries of Reclamation's Snake River Area Office. The program was structured around cost sharing, meaning applicants were expected to contribute their own funds and/or resources and partner with Reclamation rather than rely on federal funding alone. The basic intent was to encourage applicants to leverage local and regional investments with federal support to achieve measurable water management and efficiency outcomes.
The program focused on two main types of projects. First, it sought to promote the development of written water management and conservation plans. These plans were expected to be practical and implementation-oriented, setting the stage for later on-the-ground improvements such as conveyance upgrades, improved measurement systems, or operational changes that conserve water, increase water use efficiency, or enhance overall operational efficiency. Second, the program also funded implementation work, but only when that work was tied directly to activities identified in approved, written water management and/or conservation plans. In other words, applicants could request support either to create credible plans that lead to future conservation actions or to carry out specific conservation actions already laid out in existing, approved plans.
Eligible applicants included irrigation and water districts, tribal water authorities, and state governmental entities with water management authority (such as state agencies, departments, or boards). The opportunity also extended to other entities that have water delivery authority, as long as they had a defined relationship to one or more of the relevant Reclamation projects located within the Snake River Area Office boundaries. This framing indicates the program was intended for organizations directly involved in managing, delivering, or overseeing water supplies and infrastructure, particularly those connected to Reclamation-related projects in the region.
The announcement was posted and created on October 21, 2010, and it closed on February 18, 2011, with the archive date listed as February 19, 2011.
