Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 10SF1S0028) was offered by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, Snake River Area, to support water conservation and efficiency work during federal fiscal year 2010 (October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010). It is a discretionary funding opportunity, available through either a grant or a cooperative agreement, and it falls under the Environment and Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.530). A key requirement is cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants were expected to contribute their own funds and/or resources and partner with Reclamation to complete the proposed work.
Eligibility was limited to entities with direct water management or delivery responsibilities and a defined relationship to one or more Reclamation projects within the Snake River Area administrative boundaries. Specifically, eligible applicants included irrigation and water districts, tribal water authorities, state governmental entities with water management authority (such as agencies, departments, or boards), and other organizations that have water delivery authority tied to the relevant Reclamation projects. Projects had to be located within the Snake River Area boundaries to qualify for funding.
The program’s purpose centered on practical, on-the-ground water conservation outcomes, with funding aimed at two main types of work. First, applicants could seek support to develop written water management and conservation plans. These plans were not intended to be purely conceptual; they were expected to lead to later implementation steps such as conveyance upgrades, improved water measurement, or operational changes that reduce water losses, increase water use efficiency, or improve overall operational efficiency. Second, applicants could request funding to implement activities that were already identified in approved, written water management and/or conservation plans, allowing organizations that had completed planning work to move directly into executing specific conservation measures.
The timeline for the opportunity indicates it was posted on October 2, 2009, with the original closing date of December 15, 2009, later extended to January 6, 2010, and archived on January 7, 2010. For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Lisa Strong, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 208-383-2204 or by email at lstrong@usbr.gov.
