Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR LC 19 N029
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on an environmental infrastructure upgrade for the Colorado River Indian Tribe. It is issued as a "Notice of Intent to Award," which generally means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is moving forward with a single award rather than running a broad competitive process. The opportunity was created on August 26, 2019, with an original closing date of September 9, 2019, and it anticipates making one award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $400,000.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the only expected awardee under this notice is the Colorado River Indian Tribe. The funding falls under CFDA number 15.519 and is categorized under environmental activities, with the grant instrument type being a standard grant (as opposed to a cooperative agreement or contract).
The project itself is a set of specific construction and retrofit actions aimed at improving water control, reducing corrosion-related failures, and modernizing drainage and outlet structures connected to a fish grow-out pond. A major component is replacing an existing corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert with a 42-inch outside diameter high-density polyethylene (HDPE) culvert. HDPE is commonly selected for these kinds of applications because it is resistant to corrosion and can provide longer service life in wet or chemically aggressive environments compared to metal culverts.
Along with the culvert replacement, the project includes installing a duckbill-style elastomer check valve that is described as non-corrodible. Duckbill check valves are designed to allow flow in one direction while preventing backflow, which can be important for maintaining desired water levels, preventing reverse flows during high-water events, and protecting pond or channel systems from unwanted inflow that could affect water quality or fish habitat conditions.
In addition to the culvert work, the grant scope includes modifying the existing permeable structure adjacent to the fish grow-out pond. This involves removing and/or replacing permeable structure material, and also modifying the permeable structure at the outlet. While the notice does not specify the exact material types, this kind of work typically targets improving filtration, flow distribution, stability, and long-term performance, especially where existing materials may be clogged, degraded, or no longer meeting operational needs.
Finally, the project will replace an existing combined permeable structure and CMP pipe culvert with a stoplog weir structure. Stoplog weirs are adjustable water control structures that use removable boards (stoplogs) to set and fine-tune water elevations and manage discharge rates. Switching to a stoplog weir can provide better operational control over water levels and flows than an aging culvert-permeable structure combination, which is often harder to adjust and more prone to maintenance issues over time.
In practical terms, the overall intent of the grant is to modernize key pieces of pond-related water infrastructure, improve reliability and control of water movement, reduce the risk of corrosion and failure, and support environmental and fisheries-related management goals connected to the fish grow-out pond and its outlet works.Apply for BOR LC 19 N029
