Water Conservation Field Services Program: The Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region, Snake River Area (SRAO),is requesting proposals to fund projects for activities in support of its Water Conservation Field Services Program, in Federal fiscal year 2008 (October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008). To be eligible for financial assistance under this Funding Opportunity, a proposed activity must have a defined relationship to one, or more, Reclamation Projects within the administrative boundary of the SRAO. The objective of this Funding Opportunity is to invite eligible applicants to leverage their money and resources by cost-sharing with the SRAO on projects that will conserve water, increase water use efficiency, or enhance operational efficiency. Examples of activities that are eligible for financial assistance include piping and lining of canals and laterals, installation of automation and water measurement devices, and preparation or updating of Water Conservation Plans that will lead to subsequent implementation of conveyance, measurement, or operational improvements which will conserve water, increase water use efficiency, or enhance operational efficiency. Activities that, in addition to increasing water use efficiencies, address environmental needs associated with Reclamation projects are also eligible for financial assistance. Examples of these kinds of activities include water conservation measures that, in addition to increasing district water use efficiency, would improve and/or prevent soil erosion, improve in-stream flows/reduce diversions, improve water quality, and/or reduce in-stream water temperatures for the benefit of Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed species.
