Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 11SFCCAWC01) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, focused on supporting practical water conservation and improved water management efforts. The program is designed to fund on-the-ground activities that help water delivery organizations operate more efficiently, reduce waste, and strengthen conservation outcomes during Fiscal Year 2011, with work beginning October 1, 2010. Reclamation is specifically looking for partners it can work with to implement these improvements, and proposals are evaluated using the selection criteria described in the announcement (referenced as Section V).
Funding is competitive and limited, with an estimated total program amount of $650,000 and an expectation of about 18 awards. Individual awards generally range from a minimum of $5,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $100,000, and while applicants may request any amount of federal support, Reclamation notes that agreements are typically capped at $100,000. The agency also makes clear that it retains discretion to make award decisions on a case-by-case basis, including considering exceptions to its general prioritization approach.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it targets irrigation and water delivery entities connected to Bureau of Reclamation projects and infrastructure. Funding priority is given first to irrigation districts that either have contracts to use Reclamation Project water or that use Reclamation Project facilities. While exceptions can be considered, the program is fundamentally oriented toward organizations operating within, or directly tied to, Reclamation-managed systems where conservation and operational improvements can produce measurable benefits.
Eligibility is geographically and functionally specific. Applicants must be located in the area served by the Columbia Cascades Area Office and must have water delivery authority. In addition, eligible applicants must meet at least one of the following conditions: be part of a Reclamation Project, have a contract to use Reclamation Project water, and/or use Reclamation Project facilities. The listing notes the eligible applicant type broadly as "Others (see text field...)," which signals that the detailed eligibility definition is controlled by the additional eligibility language in the notice rather than a simple government-wide category label.
Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources toward the proposed work, consistent with the program requirements in the full announcement. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program).
The announcement was posted June 14, 2010, and the application deadline was September 16, 2010 (with the opportunity archived the following day). For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Rex Crumrine, Contracts and Agreements Specialist, at 509-575-5848 or rcrumrine@usbr.gov.
