Opportunity Summary:
The Water Hydrological Study for Tribal Lands grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR LC 16 N019) is a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation award intended to support a specific tribal water-planning effort led by the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe (YPIT). The project is framed as a water resources master planning initiative, where the Tribe is assembling planning documents that identify and quantify potential water supplies and management options. In practical terms, the effort is meant to pull together the best available physical and scientific information about local water resources so the Tribe can make informed long-term decisions about supply development, protection, treatment, and storage.
The larger hydrologic study described in the notice covers several technical components: surface water runoff hydrology, a desktop analysis of groundwater hydrology and hydrogeology, evaluation of recharge potential, and the potential development and use of reclaimed wastewater (reclaimed effluent) as a resource. The emphasis is on compiling and interpreting existing water resource data and translating that into planning-ready information, including how water moves across the landscape during rainfall events, what groundwater conditions and aquifer characteristics look like, where recharge may be occurring or could be enhanced, and how reclaimed water might supplement supplies.
Although the overall study includes multiple phases, the funding being requested under this opportunity is specifically for the Surface Runoff Water phase. That phase focuses on quantifying rainfall-runoff flows across various sub-basins within watersheds that influence or affect Tribal property. The intent is to estimate runoff volumes and flow characteristics tied to precipitation events, which can then be used in the broader master plan to evaluate potential surface water availability, understand watershed behavior, support infrastructure or storage concepts, and inform water management strategies that depend on stormwater or ephemeral flow patterns.
This opportunity is listed as a mandatory grant with an award ceiling of $41,700 and an expectation of one award, indicating it is structured as a targeted Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open competitive process. Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the relevant federal program listing is CFDA 15.519. The opportunity was created on August 24, 2016, with an original closing date of September 6, 2016, reflecting a short administrative window consistent with a pre-identified recipient and a defined scope of work tied to completing the surface runoff analysis portion of the Tribe's larger water resources master planning effort.

Who is the intended recipient for this effort?
The project is intended to support a specific tribal water-planning effort led by the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe (YPIT).
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments.
What is the CFDA number (federal program listing) for this opportunity?
The relevant federal program listing is CFDA 15.519.
What is the maximum (ceiling) award amount?
The award ceiling is $41,700.
How many awards are expected?
The opportunity indicates an expectation of one award.
What part of the overall hydrologic study is funded under this specific opportunity?
The funding requested under this opportunity is specifically for the Surface Runoff Water phase of the larger hydrologic study.
What is the focus of the Surface Runoff Water phase?
This phase focuses on quantifying rainfall-runoff flows across various sub-basins within watersheds that influence or affect Tribal property. The intent is to estimate runoff volumes and flow characteristics tied to precipitation events.
How will the Surface Runoff Water results be used?
The runoff estimates are intended to feed into the broader water resources master plan to help evaluate potential surface water availability, understand watershed behavior, support infrastructure or storage concepts, and inform water management strategies that depend on stormwater or ephemeral flow patterns.
What technical components are included in the larger hydrologic study (beyond this phase)?
The larger study described in the notice includes: surface water runoff hydrology, a desktop analysis of groundwater hydrology and hydrogeology, evaluation of recharge potential, and the potential development and use of reclaimed wastewater (reclaimed effluent) as a resource.
Does the overall project rely on new field data or existing information?
The emphasis is on compiling and interpreting existing water resource data and translating that into planning-ready information.
What kinds of planning questions is the overall master planning effort meant to support?
The planning effort is meant to support long-term decisions about water supply development, resource protection, treatment needs, and storage options, based on the best available physical and scientific information about local water resources.
What is meant by evaluating recharge potential in the broader study?
Within the overall hydrologic study, recharge potential refers to understanding where recharge may be occurring or could be enhanced, as part of compiling and interpreting water resource information for planning.
How does reclaimed wastewater factor into the broader study?
The larger study includes considering the potential development and use of reclaimed wastewater (reclaimed effluent) as a water resource that might supplement supplies.
When was this funding opportunity created?
The opportunity was created on August 24, 2016.
What was the original closing date?
The original closing date was September 6, 2016.
What does the short window between creation and closing suggest about the opportunity?
