Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) funding opportunity (FOA number R10AF20006) was a discretionary grant program offered by the Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, to support practical, on-the-ground water conservation work. The main focus of the program was to help eligible water and power delivery entities create formal, written water management or water conservation plans, and to fund implementation of specific conservation actions that are already identified in those written plans. In other words, the program was designed to move applicants from planning into execution by paying for plan development and for projects that directly follow from an adopted plan.
Funding was provided through grants or cooperative agreements under CFDA 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program). The federal government anticipated making about 20 awards from an estimated total funding pool of $500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $5,000 (award floor) up to $50,000 (award ceiling). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost rather than relying entirely on federal dollars.
Eligibility covered a broad set of entities involved in delivering water or power, including states, Indian tribes, irrigation districts, water districts, and other organizations that have water or power delivery authority. The funding activity category was listed as Natural Resources, reflecting the program's emphasis on conserving and managing water supplies through structured planning and targeted improvements.
Administratively, the announcement stated that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) was required for applicants (a federal registration system used at the time for organizations seeking federal awards). The opportunity was posted on November 20, 2009, with an application deadline of January 19, 2010, and it was archived on January 20, 2010. Program questions were directed to Maria E. Castaneda (mcastaneda@usbr.gov). For help accessing the full announcement electronically, applicants could contact Lisa Atkins, Procurement Technician, at 916-987-5564 or latkins@usbr.gov.
