Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR LC 19 N015
The "Notice of Intent to Award to California Department of Water Resources" (Funding Opportunity Number: BOR LC 19 N015) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior that plans to provide support through a cooperative agreement focused on environmental work at the Salton Sea. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.560 and is structured as a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $267,723. It was created on June 21, 2019, with an original closing date of July 5, 2019, and it is limited in eligibility to state governments, reflecting the state-led nature of the effort.
The purpose of the award is to support California's legally mandated role in restoring and managing conditions at the Salton Sea, with a specific emphasis on dust suppression projects required under the Salton Sea Management Plan (SSMP). Under state legislation, California must lead restoration efforts, and the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has been designated to develop and implement the dust control elements of that plan. The SSMP Phase I Plan sets a target of implementing dust suppression projects on up to 14,900 acres, which is intended to reduce dust emissions that can worsen air quality as shoreline areas are exposed and sediments dry out.
A major element of the work described is coordination and on-the-ground implementation across a patchwork of land ownership around the Sea. To reach the Phase I acreage goals, the State must collaborate with multiple landowners to carry out projects on non-state parcels while still providing centralized planning, sequencing, and oversight. At the same time, the State must coordinate closely with county air quality regulators, since dust emissions and related compliance expectations are typically managed through local and regional air quality oversight and monitoring. The description also highlights that the State will partner with the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) to implement dust suppression projects on Reclamation-owned lands where dust emissions are expected to increase, ensuring that federal lands are addressed as part of the broader, interconnected dust control strategy.
The notice frames DWR as uniquely qualified for this award for several reasons: it has the legal responsibility to oversee Salton Sea restoration, it already has experience coordinating and overseeing the multiple moving parts required to implement the SSMP, and it can leverage resources and lessons learned from other dust suppression projects around the Sea. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the setup implies an active partnership between the federal agency and the State, with coordination and shared involvement to accomplish the dust suppression objectives on lands where federal interests and responsibilities are directly involved.Apply for BOR LC 19 N015
