Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, aimed at improving water-use efficiency across Reclamation-related projects and service areas. The program is rooted in a practical problem: many Reclamation projects in the Upper Colorado Region have been operating for decades and still rely on practices and equipment that were considered cutting-edge when they were built, but are now outdated. The agency is looking to help modernize these systems to more current technology standards (described in the notice as bringing projects into "2000s technology"), with the expectation that upgrades and improved procedures will translate into measurable water conservation. The opportunity also reflects concern about urban demand, noting that per-capita water use in parts of the Upper Colorado Region ranks among the highest in the country, which further underscores the need for conservation investments.
Funding is provided through either grants or cooperative agreements, and selected projects must include cost sharing or matching (the announcement specifies that a cost-sharing or matching requirement applies). The total estimated funding for the opportunity is $200,000, with an expectation of about 15 awards. Individual awards are relatively small and structured to support focused, implementable conservation efforts: the minimum award is $5,000 and the maximum (award ceiling) is $25,000. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the program is identified under CFDA number 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program).
Eligible applicants are broadly defined around entities that have authority or responsibility for delivering water or power. The eligibility language includes states, Indian tribes, irrigation districts, water districts, and other organizations with water or power delivery authority. The eligibility section also lists city or township governments, signaling that local governments involved in water service and conservation initiatives are appropriate applicants. In practical terms, the program is geared toward organizations that can implement real operational, infrastructure, or management improvements that conserve water within municipal or agricultural delivery systems, or within Reclamation-associated facilities and operations.
Administratively, this funding opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number R13SF40007 and was posted on November 27, 2012, with a closing date of January 25, 2013 (it later archived on January 26, 2013). For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the notice directs applicants to contact Timothy Wagoner, Grants Management Specialist, at 801-524-3704.
