Opportunity Summary:
The Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project (YRBWEP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R15AS00029) is a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary grant that supports work authorized under Title XII, Sections 1203 through 1207, of the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project provisions contained in the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-434), as later amended by Public Laws 105-62 and 106-372. In practical terms, the notice points to a specific, congressionally authorized program area focused on water resource enhancement activities in the Yakima River Basin, aligning with agriculture, environmental, and natural resource objectives.
The opportunity was structured as a single, fixed-dollar award: the expected number of awards was 1, with an estimated total funding amount of $64,054. Both the award ceiling and award floor were listed as $64,054, which indicates the funding amount was predetermined rather than offered as a competitive range. The listing is associated with CFDA 15.531, the catalog entry for the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project, which is typically used to track federal assistance tied to this specific program authority.
Only special district governments were identified as eligible applicants. That eligibility category generally includes entities such as irrigation districts, water districts, and other special-purpose local governmental units, which is consistent with the kind of basin-scale water management and enhancement efforts YRBWEP is known for supporting. The announcement also specifies that cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient was expected to contribute non-federal funds or allowable in-kind resources toward the total project cost as a condition of receiving the federal grant.
The announcement was posted and created on February 3, 2015, and archived on February 19, 2015. It also notes that electronic submittal of an application was not required and does not provide a conventional closing date, suggesting the award may have been handled through a nonstandard application process, a paper submission process, or a targeted/specific recipient approach consistent with a single-award, fixed-amount posting.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Sharon Hamson, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable at 509-575-5848 or by email at shamson@usbr.gov. The notice also referenced an additional information link directing applicants to the Grants website for further details.
