Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR UC 19 N009
The Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR UC 19 N009) is a continuation grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.517. It is designed specifically to support the Utah Department of Natural Resources in carrying out the State of Utah Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Management Plan at key water bodies, especially those owned by the Bureau of Reclamation. The overall intent is straightforward: reduce the risk of aquatic invasive species spreading between lakes and reservoirs by placing trained personnel where boat traffic is highest and where prevention efforts can have the biggest impact.
Funding from this award (with an award ceiling of $1,281,477 and an expectation of a single award) would be used to staff one or more AIS Wildlife Technicians at each designated reservoir or lake during the peak boating season, defined here as Memorial Day through Labor Day. While most of the targeted sites are Reclamation-owned public waters, the scope also explicitly includes Echo Reservoir, which is state owned, ensuring that prevention coverage aligns with how boaters actually move across popular destinations rather than stopping at jurisdictional boundaries.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is expected to station at least one AIS Wildlife Technician at each of the following locations: Willard Bay Reservoir, Rockport Reservoir, East Canyon Reservoir, Utah Lake, Pineview Reservoir, Deer Creek Reservoir, Jordanelle Reservoir, Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Huntington North Reservoir, Scofield Reservoir, Echo Reservoir, and Lake Powell. This list reflects major recreational boating hubs and high-risk waters where a single contaminated vessel could introduce or spread harmful invasive organisms.
On-the-ground work funded through the grant centers on interdiction through watercraft inspection services, both before launch and upon exit. These inspections are meant to catch and stop the movement of invasive species attached to hulls, lodged in intakes, trapped in bilges or livewells, or carried on trailers and gear. By focusing on pre-launch and exit checks, the program aims to break the chain of transport that often allows invasive species to leap from one water body to another.
A second major component is public outreach and education. AIS Wildlife Technicians are tasked with explaining the risks and real-world consequences of aquatic invasive species and giving boaters clear prevention steps they can follow. A key message is the Clean, Drain and Dry protocol identified in the Utah AIS Management Plan, which emphasizes cleaning off visible debris and organisms, draining all water-holding compartments, and allowing equipment to dry thoroughly to kill or remove organisms that can survive in damp conditions.
In practical terms, the grant supports a seasonal frontline prevention program: staff presence at busy access points, consistent inspection coverage, and repeated public messaging that makes compliance more likely. The activities described are intended to directly minimize ecological and economic damage associated with AIS overabundance in Utah, including impacts to native ecosystems, recreational access, and water infrastructure that can be harmed by invasive organisms. The opportunity was created on September 9, 2019, with an original closing date of September 22, 2019, and eligibility is limited to state governments, matching the program’s focus on statewide implementation and coordination.Apply for BOR UC 19 N009
