Opportunity Summary:
The Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project (YRBWEP) grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number R15AS00023, is a discretionary grant administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. It falls under the broad funding activity areas of agriculture, environment, and natural resources, reflecting the program's focus on water management and enhancement work in the Yakima River Basin. The opportunity is tied to federal statutory authority cited in the notice as the Yavapai Prescott Indian Tribe Water Settlement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-434), specifically Section XII, which is referenced as the basis for the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project.
This announcement was posted on February 3, 2015 (created February 2, 2015) and later archived on February 18, 2015. The notice indicates that applicants were not required to submit the application electronically, suggesting the Bureau of Reclamation was prepared to accept submissions or handle the award process through alternate means. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $11,245,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as exactly $11,245,000, which usually signals a very specific, predefined funding amount for one recipient rather than a competitive range of possible award sizes.
Eligibility for this funding opportunity is limited to special district governments, meaning the intended recipient is a type of local or regional governmental entity formed for a specialized public purpose (commonly including irrigation districts, water districts, or similar entities). The listing also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support toward the overall project costs under the terms established by the Bureau of Reclamation for this award.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.531, which corresponds to the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project program. For further details or access issues with the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Sharon Hamson, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 509-575-5848 or by email at shamson@usbr.gov.
