Opportunity Summary:
The Water Education Through Public Outreach opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R12AS20016) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region discretionary grant under CFDA 15.533, authorized by the Water Supply, Reliability and Environmental Improvement Act (Title I, California Water Security and Environmental Enhancement, Public Law 108-361, Section 103(f)(4)(A)(v)(vi)). The agency announced its intent to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $345,134 (which is also listed as the award ceiling). The eligible applicant category is state governments, and the intended recipient named in the notice is the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for this grant.
The central purpose of the agreement is public education and outreach focused on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Reclamation’s goal is to educate participants in Delta public outreach programs about several connected topics: water supply reliability, water quality, ongoing Delta ecological restoration efforts, and practical ways to protect local water resources. In other words, the funding supports structured outreach that helps members of the public and local stakeholders better understand how the Delta functions as a water system, what threatens it, and what restoration and management actions are underway.
The project’s main deliverables are described as Delta public outreach programs such as water tours and briefings. These activities are intended to communicate information in five major areas. First, they will cover the implementation of large-scale Delta planning efforts, giving participants a clearer picture of the broader strategies and coordinated initiatives shaping Delta management. Second, they will address climate change impacts specific to the Delta, emphasizing how changing conditions affect water reliability, ecosystems, and long-term planning needs. Third, the outreach will include information on Safe Harbor Agreements for local entities, which generally relate to conservation and compliance frameworks that can support habitat and species protection while providing assurances to participating parties. Fourth, the project aims to help identify and coordinate key Delta restoration projects, highlighting priorities and how separate restoration actions fit together. Fifth, it will focus on reducing flood-event impacts related to contaminants in the Delta by promoting pre-flood preparedness, essentially educating stakeholders on steps that can be taken before floods occur to limit contaminant spread and associated harms.
