Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR GP 17 0001
The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), within the Department of the Interior and specifically its Great Plains Region, Wyoming Area Office, announced a discretionary grant opportunity to support work under its Water Conservation Field Services Program for fiscal year 2017. The program is aimed at improving how water is managed, conserved, and delivered by helping local and regional water users plan, evaluate, and implement practical conservation measures. The performance window referenced for the program is FY 2017, covering October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017, and the agency is looking for projects that can be carried out during that period and produce tangible water-management benefits.
A central feature of this opportunity is cost-sharing. Applicants are expected to leverage their own funding and resources alongside Reclamation support, meaning proposals should clearly describe what the applicant will contribute (cash, in-kind services, staff time, equipment, partner support, or other resources) and how that match will be tracked and used to accomplish the work. The overall intent is to stretch federal dollars while encouraging local ownership and long-term implementation of conservation actions, rather than funding stand-alone studies that do not lead to measurable improvements.
Projects are invited in several broad activity areas tied to water efficiency and system performance. One focus area is Water Management and Conservation Planning, which generally covers planning efforts that help entities understand current water use, identify inefficiencies, set conservation goals, and develop actionable plans for better water accounting and operational practices. Another area is Designing Water Management Improvements, which typically means taking a concept beyond planning into engineering and design work for specific improvements that can be implemented to reduce losses or increase operational efficiency. The program also supports Demonstrating Conservation Project Technologies, which is geared toward piloting or demonstrating new or underused tools and technologies that can improve measurement, control, delivery efficiency, or on-farm/on-system conservation outcomes. Finally, System Optimization Reviews are included, reflecting interest in structured evaluations of existing water delivery or management systems to identify operational changes, maintenance priorities, retrofits, or technology upgrades that can improve performance and conserve water.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number BOR GP 17 0001 and is classified as a grant, with the activity category labeled Natural Resources and CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.530. The notice indicates an anticipated total of about two awards, with an award ceiling of $100,000 per award, signaling a relatively small, competitive funding round intended to support targeted projects rather than large capital construction. While the eligibility category is stated as "Others," applicants are directed to consult the full eligibility language in the opportunity’s additional information section, which implies eligibility may extend beyond a single standard category and could include various local entities or organizations depending on the specifics Reclamation outlined in the full announcement.
Key dates provided in the listing include a creation date of March 6, 2017, and an original application closing date of April 19, 2017, establishing a relatively short application window. Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as support for practical, cost-shared conservation and water management efforts in the Wyoming Area Office’s service territory, emphasizing planning-to-implementation readiness, measurable efficiency gains, and real-world demonstrations or reviews that improve how water systems are operated and maintained.Apply for BOR GP 17 0001
