Opportunity Summary:
The Wyoming Area Office Water Conservation Field Services Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Bureau of Reclamation (Great Plains Region) under the Water Conservation Field Services Program (CFDA 15.530). It was designed to support water conservation-related work tied specifically to irrigation districts that operate under contracts administered by Reclamation's Wyoming Area Office (WYAO). The program sits in the Natural Resources funding activity category and focuses on practical, field-oriented conservation improvements that help participating districts conserve water and manage it more efficiently.
Funding for this opportunity was relatively modest and structured to support multiple small projects rather than a single large award. The estimated total funding available was $260,000, with an expectation of making about eight awards. Individual awards could be as large as $50,000, and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0), meaning proposals could potentially range from very small efforts up to the maximum. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the opportunity required cost sharing or matching, so applicants needed to contribute a portion of project costs from non-federal sources or other allowable matching contributions in accordance with the program requirements.
Eligibility was limited and specific. Applicants needed to be an irrigation district with a contract administered by the WYAO. In addition, the district had to have a Water Conservation Plan (WCP), if applicable, that was signed by the district's governing body and already on file with the WYAO. In other words, this was not open broadly to all local governments, nonprofits, or universities; it targeted irrigation districts already in a formal contractual relationship with Reclamation through the Wyoming Area Office and that had taken documented steps toward conservation planning.
The opportunity was posted and created on February 28, 2011, with an original and final closing date of May 31, 2011. It was archived on June 1, 2011, indicating the application window was tied to that specific cycle and is no longer active. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7684.
