Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number R15AS00042, was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation under CFDA 15.531 (Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project, or YRBWEP). It is tied to statutory authority in Title XII of the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project provisions, specifically Sections 1203 and 1207, as referenced in the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe Water Settlement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-434) and later amendments (Public Laws 105-62 and 106-372). In practical terms, the announcement is a targeted, single-award grant action supporting natural-resources and water-enhancement work associated with the Yakima River Basin program framework established by those federal laws and the cited sections.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity was categorized as discretionary rather than formula-based. The total estimated funding amount was $150,000, and the award structure was fixed: an award floor of $150,000 and an award ceiling of $150,000, with one expected award. That configuration usually signals a very specific, pre-scoped project or partner arrangement rather than an open competition for a range of award sizes. The posting and creation dates were April 20, 2015. The listing shows no applicable closing date (original or current) and an archive date of May 6, 2015, which indicates it was time-limited, administratively closed, or otherwise not maintained as an open, ongoing solicitation after that point.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. The only eligible applicant type listed was county governments, meaning the opportunity was not open to individuals, nonprofits, universities, tribes (as applicants under this listing), or private entities. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the federal share could cover the full approved project costs up to the fixed award amount, subject to the final budget and terms in the grant agreement. The activity category was Natural Resources, consistent with YRBWEP work that typically focuses on water management, water conservation, habitat or river system improvements, and related basin-scale enhancement efforts, although the summary provided in the notice does not enumerate specific allowable project types beyond referencing the governing statutory sections.
For access and administrative support, the notice directed applicants or interested parties to the Grants website for additional information and provided a point of contact for assistance obtaining the full announcement: Sharon Hamson, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation (phone 509-575-5848; email shamson@usbr.gov). This contact was specifically offered for anyone who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, which suggests that full programmatic details, required application components, and any project-specific scope would have been contained in the complete announcement package rather than in the short synopsis shown here.
