Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) grant opportunity for the Wyoming Area Office is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region. Its purpose is to support water conservation work connected to Reclamation-managed irrigation projects in Wyoming by helping eligible irrigation districts plan and implement conservation-focused activities. The announcement itself is brief and points applicants to the full Funding Opportunity document for the detailed scope of work, application requirements, and evaluation criteria, but the core theme is field-level water conservation assistance and improvements within the Wyoming Area Office service area.
This opportunity is offered under Funding Opportunity Number R10SF60001 and uses either a Cooperative Agreement or Grant as the funding instrument, indicating that awards may range from standard grant support to more collaborative arrangements where Reclamation may have a more active role in project coordination or oversight. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number is 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program), which is the federal assistance program associated with these kinds of conservation efforts.
Funding for the competition is listed at an estimated total of $260,000. The award ceiling is also $260,000, with an award floor of $0, meaning proposals could range from very small requests up to the maximum total available, depending on what the full announcement allows and how Reclamation chooses to distribute funds. The agency anticipated making about 7 awards, which suggests the program was expecting to spread the available funding across multiple irrigation districts or multiple distinct conservation actions rather than issuing a single large award.
A key feature of this opportunity is that cost sharing or matching is required. The source data does not specify the match percentage or what types of contributions are allowable (cash versus in-kind), so applicants would need to confirm the exact match rules, documentation standards, and any limits in the full Funding Opportunity announcement. In practice, match requirements typically mean the irrigation district must contribute part of the total project cost, which can influence project sizing, budgeting, and scheduling.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Applicants must be an Irrigation District that has an existing contract with Reclamation's Wyoming Area Office (WYAO). In addition, the district must have a Water Conservation Plan (WCP) on file with the WYAO if a WCP is required, and that plan must be signed by the district's governing body. This makes the program essentially restricted to specific Reclamation-associated irrigation entities that have already completed (or are current with) Reclamation's conservation planning prerequisites.
Important dates in the record show the opportunity was posted on March 2, 2010, with an original closing date of April 30, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of June 30, 2010. The archive date is July 30, 2010, meaning the opportunity is historical and no longer open, but the details still matter for understanding prior funding rounds or program structure. The record also lists a creation date of April 23, 2010, which reflects when the opportunity record was created or updated in the system.
For assistance, the listed point of contact is Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7684. The contact note specifically mentions reaching out if there are difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically, implying the detailed requirements and project guidance were provided in an attached or linked Funding Opportunity document rather than fully contained in the summary listing.
