SUBJECT
Resolution 2021-041 Supporting the Grant Application by Fort Collins Utilities for the United States Department
of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation’s WaterSMART Grants: Small-Scale Water Efficiency Projects for Fiscal
Year 2021 and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Agreements Regarding Such a Grant.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to request Council support to pursue a United States Bureau of Reclamation
(“Reclamation”) WaterSMART Grant: Small-Scale Water Efficiency Projects for Fiscal Year 2021
(“WaterSMART Grant”). If awarded, Fort Collins Utilities, through its Water Conservation Division (“Water
Conservation”), would use the funds to support commercial -scale waterwise transformations in partnership
with homeowners’ associations (“HOAs”) and commercial customers. Reclamation requires a resolution of
Council support be submitted as part of the grant application package. The Resolution demonstrates that the
applicant has support from its board to carry out the grant agreement, if awarded.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Through the WaterSMART Grant, Water Conservation seeks additional funding for the Xeriscape Incentive
Program for Homeowner’s Associations (HOAs) and commercial customers to extend the time the program is
funded. This program has been and is financially supported through 2021 by the Water Conservation budget, a
Colorado Water Conservation Board Grant, and a previous WaterSMART grant. Funding from this grant would
extend the Xeriscape Incentive Program to projects in 2022. This important Water Conservatio n program aims
to financially and educationally assist Utilities’ commercial water customers, including HOAs’ irrigation
accounts, with commercial-scale waterwise landscape transformation projects such as the conversion from
turf-to-native grass or other low-water-use landscape.
About 7% of Utilities water customers are commercial accounts (including all irrigation -related accounts), yet
they use 40% of the treated water. Up to 60-70% of this is used to irrigate. The Water Efficiency Plan, adopted
by Council in 2016, identifies the great opportunity to achieve long-term water savings by working with
commercial customers on reducing outdoor water use. From research, surveys, and focus -groups, staff has
identified that funding and educational/technical resources are two main barriers to customers completing
these projects.
The Xeriscape Incentive Program for HOAs and commercial customers is currently working with six customers
during their landscape transformation projects and is in the process of selecting up to ten additional projects to
be completed in 2021. Supported by $65,000 in rebates from the program, these six projects make up a total
of 83,000 square feet of area proposed to be converted from high-water use landscape to low-water use. On
average, Water Conservation estimates that eight gallons per square foot savings for an estimated savings of
Agenda Item 25
Item # 25 Page 2
664,000 gallons of water annually saved by these six projects alone. In 2020, the pilot year of this program,
over 2 million gallons of actual water savings were recorded by seven customers across 13 acres. In addition
to water savings, this program is collecting valuable project data to help educate prospective applicants on
future successful projects.
If awarded the WaterSMART grant, staff anticipates providing a rebate of $1.50 per square foot of area
converted up to 10,000 square feet or a maximum $15,000 per project. Awardees are required to match any
rebate funding with their own organization’s funds.
All applicants for the WaterSMART Grants are requ ired to include an official resolution from their governing
board within 30 days of the application due date that verifies:
• The identity of the official with legal authority to enter into an agreement;
• Support of the application and use of grant funds;
• The capability of the applicant to provide the amount of funding and in-kind contributions for the grant;
• The applicant is committed to work with Reclamation to meet all established deadlines.
If awarded, Water Conservation is expected to submit financial and performance reports on at least an annual
basis that include information on project progress and cost.
With the support of Council, the Xeriscape Incentive Program for HOAs and commercial customers were
previously awarded two grants in 2019. These two grants, one from the State of Colorado and one from
Reclamation, fund the current Xeriscape Incentive Program. Previously awarded grant funds for this program
will run out by the end of 2021. An additional grant application, submitted in 2020, was denied funding by
Reclamation.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Obtaining this grant would enable Water Conservation to continue to support a much -needed HOA and
commercial landscape transformation program. Reclamation requires a minimum 50% match of the total
project cost with cash or in-kind services. Per legal agreement with each customer in the program, the
Xeriscape Incentive Program requires awardees of the program to provide match in the amount awarded. The
awardee match shall satisfy the Reclamation required match.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Staff is presenting this application to Water Board at the April 15, 2021 meeting. Draft meeting minutes
pertaining to this item will be provided to Council in a memo prior to the meeting.

Section A. Funding Opportunity Description
A.1. Program Information
The U.S. Department of the Interior’s (Department) WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America’s
Resources for Tomorrow) Program provides a framework for Federal leadership and assistance to
stretch and secure water supplies for future generations. Through WaterSMART, the Bureau of
Reclamation (Reclamation) leverages Federal and non-Federal funding to support stakeholder
efforts to stretch scarce water supplies and avoid conflicts over water.
Through Small-Scale Water Efficiency Projects, Reclamation provides assistance to States, Tribes,
irrigation districts, water districts, and other entities with water or power delivery authority to
undertake small-scale water efficiency projects that have been prioritized through planning efforts
led by the applicant. These projects conserve and use water more efficiently; mitigate conflict risk in
areas at a high risk of future water conflict; and accomplish other benefits that contribute to water
supply reliability in the western United States. For further information on WaterSMART Grants,
please see www.usbr.gov/watersmart/index.html.
This Small-Scale Water Efficiency Projects Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
supports Small-Scale Water Efficiency Projects that have been prioritized through planning
efforts led by the applicant. These projects are generally in the final design stage,
environmental and cultural resources compliance have been initiated or already completed,
and the non-Federal funding, necessary permits, and other required approvals have been
secured.
Small-Scale Water Efficiency Projects are a component of Reclamation’s WaterSMART Grants
Program, which also includes Water and Energy Efficiency Grants and Water Marketing Strategy
Grants. For further information on the WaterSMART Grants Program, please see
www.usbr.gov/watersmart/index.html.
A.2. Objective of this Notice of Funding Opportunity
The objective of this NOFO is to invite States, Indian Tribes, irrigation districts, water districts, and
other organizations with water or power delivery authority to leverage their money and resources by
cost sharing with Reclamation on small-scale on-the-ground projects that seek to conserve, better
manage, or otherwise make more efficient use of water supplies.
Proposed projects that are supported by an existing water management and conservation plan,
System Optimization Review, or other planning effort led by the applicant are prioritized. This
prioritization will help ensure that projects funded under this NOFO are well thought out, have
public support, and have been identified as the best way to address water management concerns.
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300

A.2.1 Streamlined Application and Selection Process
Reclamation has simplified the evaluation criteria and streamlined the application process for this
category of WaterSMART Grants to ensure the process works for smaller entities. Simplified
evaluation criteria are intended to provide each applicant with an opportunity to succinctly explain
how the proposed project would meet a defined need identified through a prior planning effort.
Reclamation has also clarified the budget documentation necessary under this NOFO in recognition
of the small-scale nature of the projects being funded.
A.3. Statutory Authority
This NOFO is issued under the authority of Section 9504(a) of the Secure Water Act, Subtitle F of
Title IX of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, Public Law (P.L.) 111-11
(42 United States Code [U.S.C.] 10364), as amended.
A.4. Other Related Funding Opportunities
Reclamation provides funding for water management projects through several other programs under
WaterSMART. Through WaterSMART Grants, Reclamation provides two additional funding
opportunities. Water and Energy Efficiency Grants focus on projects that result in quantifiable and
sustained water savings and projects that increase hydropower use. Through Water Marketing
Strategy Grants, Reclamation provides support for entities exploring actions that can be taken to
develop or facilitate water marketing.
Through the Drought Response Program, Reclamation provides funding to help build resilience to
drought. Through Drought Contingency Planning, Reclamation supports the development of
drought contingency plans with participation from a diverse set of stakeholders. Reclamation also
provides funding for Drought Resiliency Projects supported by an existing drought contingency plan
to build long term resilience to drought.
Reclamation also provides financial assistance for watershed group development, restoration
planning, and watershed management project design (Phase I) and watershed management project
implementation through the Cooperative Watershed Management Program. For information on the
NOFOs listed here, please visit the WaterSMART Program website: www.usbr.gov/watersmart/
index.html.
A.5. Collaboration with the Natural Resources Conservation
Service
Reclamation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) are collaborating to align program resources in areas where our mission areas
overlap (17 Western States), to improve the impact of the agencies’ respective drought resiliency and
water efficiency investments. In 2011, NRCS and Reclamation began efforts to coordinate water
conservation activities in California. Beginning in 2012, Reclamation made changes to WaterSMART
Water and Energy Efficiency Grants to support similar collaboration on a West-wide basis.
Applicants under the WaterSMART Grants program receive additional consideration in the
Section A. Funding Opportunity Description
3
evaluation process for delivery system improvements that complement on-farm improvements
supported by NRCS such as through their Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
Contingent on available appropriations, NRCS provides dedicated EQIP funding to support on-
farm water efficiency improvements by producers served by water delivery infrastructure improved
through a WaterSMART Grant. In fiscal year (FY) 2017, Reclamation and NRCS began working
together to expand this partnership to include collaboration on a broader range of activities,
including projects funded through this NOFO.
Please note that on-farm improvements themselves are not eligible activities for funding
under this NOFO. NRCS will have a separate application process for the on-farm
components of selected projects.
Under this NOFO, consideration will be given under Section E.1.1. Evaluation Criterion A—Project
Benefits for proposals that describe on-farm efficiency work that is currently being completed or is
anticipated to be completed in collaboration with NRCS in the area (e.g., with a direct connection to
the district’s water supply). Please contact your local NRCS office for more information regarding
NRCS assistance. You can find the contact information for your state NRCS office on the USDA’s
website, www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/contact/states/.
Section B. Award Information

Section B. Award Information
B.1. Total Funding
Approximately $3 million is available for this NOFO, with per-project and recipient funding limits as
described in Section B.2. Project Funding Limitations. The total amount of funding for awards under this
NOFO will depend on the demand for funding under this and other categories of WaterSMART
Grants.
Applications submitted under this NOFO may also be considered if additional funding becomes
available in FY 2021 or thereafter.
B.2. Project Funding Limitations
No more than one award will be made to a Category A applicant per FY under this NOFO.
Category B applicants may receive multiple awards for separate projects with different
Category A partners. See Section C.1. Eligible Applicants for additional information on
applicant eligibility. The Federal share of any one proposed project shall not exceed 50 percent of
the total project costs. Generally, the non-Federal share of project costs must be expended at the
same or greater rate as the Federal share of project costs.
Up to $75,000 in Federal funds per proposal will be available through this NOFO to implement
small-scale on-the-ground water efficiency projects. To be considered a small-scale project, total
project costs should generally be $200,000 or less. The budget proposal must include the cost of all
equipment, materials and supplies, and labor or contractual costs to complete the project. Note: The
Application Review Committee (ARC; See Section E.2.2. Application Review Committee) has final
discretion to determine whether a project is “small-scale.”
Projects that have a total project costs totaling more than $200,000 should be submitted

Reclamation will not make funds available for an award under this NOFO until the recipient has
secured the non-Federal cost-share. Reclamation will execute a financial assistance agreement once
non-Federal funding has been secured or Reclamation determines that there is sufficient evidence
and likelihood that non-Federal funds will be available to the applicant subsequent to executing the
agreement.
Please identify the sources of the non-Federal cost-share contribution for the project, including:
• Any monetary contributions by the applicant towards the cost-share requirement and source
of funds (e.g., reserve account, tax revenue, and/or assessments)
• Any costs that will be contributed by the applicant
• Any third-party in-kind costs (i.e., goods and services provided by a third party)
• Any cash requested or received from other non-Federal entities
• Any pending funding requests (i.e. grants or loans) that have not yet been approved and
explain how the project will be affected if such funding is denied
In addition, please identify whether the budget proposal includes any project costs that have been or
may be incurred prior to award. For each cost, describe:
• The project expenditure and amount
• The date of cost incurrence
• How the expenditure benefits the project
Budget Proposal
The total project cost (Total Project Cost), is the sum of all allowable items of costs, including all
required cost sharing and voluntary committed cost sharing, including third-party contributions, that

The budget proposal should include detailed information on the categories listed on the next page
and must clearly identify all cost items, including those that will be contributed as non-Federal cost
share by the applicant (required and voluntary), third-party in-kind contributions, and those that will
be covered using the funding requested from Reclamation, including any requested pre-award costs.
Unit costs must be provided for all budget items including the cost of services or other work to be
provided by consultants and contractors. Applicants are strongly encouraged to review the
procurement standards for Federal awards found at 2 CFR §200.317 through §200.326 before
developing their budget proposal.
It is also strongly advised that applicants use the budget proposal format shown below in Table 2 or
a similar format that provides this information. If selected for award, successful applicants must
submit detailed supporting documentation for all budgeted costs. It is not necessary to include
separate columns indicating which cost is being contributed as non-Federal cost share or which
costs will be reimbursed with Federal funds.
Note: The costs of preparing bids, proposals, or applications on potential Federal and non-
Federal awards or projects, including the development of data necessary to support the non-
Federal entity’s application are not eligible project costs and should not be included in the
budget proposal (2 CFR §200.460).
Budget Narrative
Submission of a budget narrative is mandatory. An award will not be made to any applicant who
fails to fully disclose this information. The budget narrative provides a discussion of, or explanation
for, items included in the budget proposal. The types of information to describe in the narrative
include, but are not limited to, those listed in the following subsections. Costs, including the
valuation of third-party in-kind contributions, must comply with the applicable cost principles
contained in 2 CFR Part §200, available at the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations
(www.ecfr.gov).
Salaries and Wages
Indicate the project manager and other key personnel by name and title. The project manager must
be an employee or board member of the applicant. Other personnel should be indicated by title
alone. For all positions, indicate salaries and wages, estimated hours or percent of time, and rate of
compensation. The labor rates must identify the direct labor rate separate from the fringe rate or
fringe cost for each position. All labor estimates must be allocated to specific tasks as outlined in the
applicant’s technical project description. Labor rates and proposed hours shall be displayed for each
task.
The budget proposal and narrative should include estimated hours for compliance with reporting
requirements, including the final financial and performance reports. Please see Section F.3. Reporting
Requirements and Distribution information on types and frequency of reports required.
Generally, salaries of administrative and/or clerical personnel will be included as a portion of the
stated indirect costs. If these salaries can be adequately documented as direct costs, they should be
included in this section; however, a justification should be included in the budget narrative.
Section D. Application and Submission Information
19
Within the budget narrative, please provide a certification that the labor rates included in
the budget proposal represent the actual labor rates of the identified personnel and are
consistently applied to Federal and non-Federal activities. If the proposal is selected for
award and the awarding Grants Officer determines that the provided rates fall within Bureau
of Labor Statistic averages for personnel with similar job descriptions, no further
documentation for this item of cost shall be requested during budget negotiations.
Fringe Benefits
Identify the rates/amounts, what costs are included in this category, and the basis of the rate
computations. Federally approved rate agreements are acceptable for compliance with this item.
Travel
Travel related expenses are not eligible for reimbursement under this NOFO and should not be
included within the proposed budget.
Equipment
If equipment will be purchased, itemize all equipment valued at or greater than $5,000. For each
item, identify why it is needed for the completion of the project and how the equipment was priced.
Note: If the value is less than $5,000, the item should be included under materials and supplies.
If equipment is being rented, specify the number of hours and the hourly rate. Local rental rates are
only accepted for equipment being rented or leased.
If the applicant intends to use their own equipment for the purposes of the project, the proposed
usage rates should fall within the equipment usage rates outlined by the United States Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) within their Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense
Schedule (EP 1110-1-8) at www.publications.usace.army.mil/USACE-Publications/Engineer-
Pamphlets/u43545q/313131302D312D38.
If the proposal is selected for award and the awarding Grants Officer determines that the
proposed rates fall within those outlined within the USACE publication, no further
documentation for this item of cost shall be requested during budget negotiations.
Note: If the equipment will be furnished and installed under a construction contract, the equipment should be included
in the construction contract cost estimate.
Materials and Supplies
Itemize supplies by major category, unit price, quantity, and purpose, such as whether the items are
needed for office use, research, or construction. Identify how these costs were estimated (i.e.,
quotes, past experience, engineering estimates, or other methodology). Note: If the materials/supplies
will be furnished and installed under a contract, the equipment should be identified as a contractual cost in the budget
proposal.
Contractual
Identify all work that will be accomplished by consultants or contractors, including a breakdown of
all tasks to be completed, and a detailed budget estimate of time, rates, supplies, and materials that
will be required for each task. For each proposed contract, identify the procurement method that
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300
20
will be used to select the consultant or contractor and the basis for selection. Please note that all
procurements with an anticipated aggregate value that exceeds the Simplified Acquisition Threshold
(currently $10,000) must use a competitive procurement method (see 2 CFR §200.320 – Methods of
procurement to be followed). Only contracts for architectural/engineering services can be awarded using a
qualifications-based procurement method. If a qualifications-based procurement method is used,
profit must be negotiated as a separate element of the contract price. See 2 CFR §200.317 through
§200.326 for additional information regarding procurements, including required contract content.
If the proposal is selected for award and the awarding Grants Officer determines that the
contractual engineering services costs for design engineering and/or construction
management costs within the budget proposal do not exceed 8 percent of total project
construction costs, then no further documentation for this item of cost shall be requested
during budget negotiations.
Third-Party In-Kind Contributions
Identify all work that will be accomplished by third-party contributors, including a breakdown of all
tasks to be completed, and a detailed budget estimate of time, rates, supplies, and materials that will
be required for each task. Third-party in-kind contributions, including contracts, must comply with
all applicable administrative and cost principles criteria, established in 2 CFR Part 200, available at
www.ecfr.gov, and all other requirements of this NOFO.
Environmental and Regulatory Compliance Costs
Prior to awarding financial assistance, Reclamation must first ensure compliance with Federal
environmental and cultural resources laws and other regulations (“environmental compliance”).
Every project funded under this program will have environmental compliance activities undertaken
by Reclamation and the recipient.
Depending on the potential impacts of the project, Reclamation may be able to complete its
compliance activities without additional cost to the recipient. Where environmental or cultural
resources compliance requires significant participation by Reclamation, costs incurred by
Reclamation will be added as a line item to the budget during development of the financial assistance
agreement and cost shared accordingly (i.e., withheld from the Federal award amount). Any costs to
the recipient associated with compliance will be identified during the process of developing a final
project budget for inclusion in the financial assistance agreement.
Other Expenses
Any other expenses not included in the above categories shall be listed in this category, along with a
description of the item and why it is necessary. No profit or fee will be allowed.
Indirect Costs
Indirect costs are costs incurred by the applicant for a common or joint purpose that benefit more
than one activity of the organization and are not readily assignable to the activities specifically
benefitted without undue effort. Costs that are normally treated as indirect costs include, but are not
limited to, administrative salaries and fringe benefits associated with overall financial and
organizational administration, operation and maintenance costs for facilities and equipment, and
payroll and procurement services.
Section D. Application and Submission Information
21
If indirect costs will be incurred, identify the proposed rate, cost base, and proposed amount for
allowable indirect costs based on the applicable cost principles for the applicant’s organization. It is
not acceptable to simply incorporate indirect rates within other direct cost line items.
Any non-Federal entity that does not have a current negotiated (including provisional) rate, except
for those non-Federal entities described in appendix VII to 2 CFR 200, paragraph D.1., may elect to
charge a de minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct costs (MTDC) which may be used
indefinitely. For further information on MTDC, refer to 2 CFR §200.68 available at www.ecfr.gov.
If the applicant does not have a federally approved indirect cost rate agreement and is proposing a
rate greater than the de minimis 10 percent rate, include the computational basis for the indirect
expense pool and corresponding allocation base for each rate. Information on “Preparing and
Submitting Indirect Cost Proposals” is available from the Department’s Interior Business Center,
and Indirect Cost Services, at www.doi.gov/ibc/services/finance/indirect-cost- services.
D.2.2.6. Environmental and Cultural Resources Compliance
Please answer the questions from Section H.1. Environmental and Cultural Resource Considerations in this
section.
D.2.2.7. Required Permits or Approvals
Applicants must state in the application whether any permits or approvals are required and explain
the plan for obtaining such permits or approvals.

will continue to hold title to the Federal facility and any improvement that is integral to the existing
operations of that facility. Please see P.L. 111-11, Section 9504(a)(3)(B). Reclamation may also
require additional reviews and approvals prior to award to ensure that any necessary easements, land
use authorizations, or special permits can be approved consistent with the requirements of 43 CFR
Section 429, and that the development will not impact or impair project operations or efficiency.
D.2.2.8. Official Resolution
Include an official resolution adopted by the applicant’s board of directors or governing body, or,
for State government entities, an official authorized to commit the applicant to the financial and
legal obligations associated with receipt of a financial assistance award under this NOFO, verifying:
• The identity of the official with legal authority to enter into an agreement
• The board of directors, governing body, or appropriate official who has reviewed and
supports the application submitted
• The capability of the applicant to provide the amount of funding and/or in- kind
contributions specified in the funding plan
• That the applicant will work with Reclamation to meet established deadlines for entering
into a grant or cooperative agreement
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300

Section E. Application Review Information
E.1. Technical Proposal: Evaluation Criteria
The evaluation criteria portion should be addressed in the technical proposal section of the
application. Applications should thoroughly address each criterion and any subcriterion in the order
presented below. Applications will be evaluated against the evaluation criteria listed below. If
the work described in your application is a phase of a larger project, only discuss the benefits that
will result directly from the work discussed in the technical project description and that is reflected
in the budget, not the larger project.
Evaluation Criteria Scoring Summary Points:
A. Project Benefits 35
B. Planning Efforts Supporting the Project 35
C. Project Implementation 10
D. Nexus to Reclamation 10
Total 90
It is suggested that applicants copy and paste the evaluation criteria and sub-criteria
immediately below into their applications to ensure that all necessary information is
adequately addressed.
E.1.1. Evaluation Criterion A—Project Benefits (35 points)
Up to 35 points may be awarded based upon evaluation of the benefits that are expected to result
from implementing the proposed project. This criterion considers a variety of project benefits,
including the significance of the anticipated water management benefits and the public benefits of
the project. This criterion prioritizes projects that modernize existing infrastructure in order to
address water reliability concerns, including making water available for multiple beneficial uses and
resolving water related conflict in the region.
• Describe the expected benefits and outcomes of implementing the proposed project.
o What are the benefits to the applicant’s water supply delivery system?
o If other benefits are expected explain those as well. Consider the following:
Extent to which the proposed project improves overall water supply reliability
The expected geographic scope benefits from the proposed project (e.g., local,
sub-basin, basin)
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300
28
Extent to which the proposed project will increase collaboration and information
sharing among water managers in the region
Any anticipated positive impacts/benefits to local sectors and economies
(e.g., agriculture, environment, recreation, tourism)
Extent to which the project will complement work done in coordination with NRCS
in the area (e.g., with a direct connection to the district’s water supply). Describe any
on-farm efficiency work that is currently being completed or is anticipated to be
completed in the future using NRCS assistance through EQIP or other programs.
Please note, on-farm improvements themselves are not eligible activities for funding under
this NOFO. This criterion is intended to focus on how the WaterSMART Grant project will
complement ongoing or future on-farm improvements. NRCS will have a separate
application process for the on-farm components of selected projects that may be undertaken
in the future, separate of the WaterSMART Grant project.
E.1.2. Evaluation Criterion B—Planning Efforts Supporting the Project (35 points)
Up to 35 points may be awarded based on the extent to which the proposed on-the-ground project
is supported by an applicant’s existing water management plan, water conservation plan, System
Optimization Review, or identified as part of another planning effort led by the applicant. This
criterion prioritizes projects that are identified through local planning efforts and meet local needs.
Describe how your project is supported by an existing planning effort.
• Does the proposed project implement a goal or address a need or problem identified in the
existing planning effort?
• Explain how the proposed project has been determined as a priority in the existing planning
effort as opposed to other potential projects/measures.
E.1.3. Evaluation Criterion C—Project Implementation (10 points)
Up to 10 points may be awarded based upon the extent to which the applicant is capable of
proceeding with the proposed project upon entering into a financial assistance agreement.
Applicants that describe a detailed plan (e.g., estimated project schedule that shows the stages and
duration of the proposed work, including major tasks, milestones, and dates) will receive the most
points under this criterion.
• Describe the implementation plan for the proposed project. Please include an estimated
project schedule that shows the stages and duration of the proposed work, including major
tasks, milestones, and dates.
• Describe any permits that will be required, along with the process for obtaining such
permits.
Section E. Application Review Information
29
• Identify and describe any engineering or design work performed specifically in support of
the proposed project.
• Describe any new policies or administrative actions required to implement the project.
• Describe the timeline for completion of environmental and cultural resource compliance.
Was the timeline for completion of environmental and cultural resource compliance
discussed with the local Reclamation office?
E.1.4. Evaluation Criterion D— Nexus to Reclamation (10 points)
Up to 10 points may be awarded based on the extent that the proposal demonstrates a nexus
between the proposed project and a Reclamation project or activity. Describe the nexus between the
proposed project and a Reclamation project or activity, including:
• Is the proposed project connected to a Reclamation project or activity?
If so, how? Please consider the following:
o Does the applicant receive Reclamation project water?
o Is the project on Reclamation project lands or involving Reclamation facilities?
o Is the project in the same basin as a Reclamation project or activity?
o Will the proposed work contribute water to a basin where a Reclamation project is
located?
• Will the project benefit any tribe(s)?
E.2. Review and Selection Process
The Federal government reserves the right to reject any and all applications that do not meet the
requirements or objectives of this NOFO. Awards will be made for projects most advantageous to
the Federal Government. The evaluation process will be comprised of the steps described in the
following subsections.
E.2.1. Initial Screening
All application packages will be screened to ensure that:
• The applicant meets the eligibility requirements stated in this NOFO.
• The applicant meets the unique entity identifier and SAM registration requirements stated in
this NOFO (this may be completed up to 30 days after the application deadline).
• The application meets the content requirements of the NOFO package, including
submission of a technical proposal, including responses to the evaluation criteria, a funding
plan, budget proposal, and budget narrative.
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300
30
• The application contains a properly executed SF-424, Application for Financial Assistance
and form SF-424B, Assurances Non-Construction Programs, or SF-424D, Assurances
Construction Programs and a completed SF-424A, Budget Information Non-Construction
Programs or SF-424C, Budget Information Construction Programs.
• The application includes an official resolution, adopted by the applicant’s board of directors,
governing body, or appropriate authorized official (this may be submitted up to 30 days after
the application deadline).
• The application and funding plan meet or exceeds the minimum non-Federal cost-share
requirements identified in this NOFO.
Reclamation reserves the right to remove an application from funding consideration if it does not
pass all Initial Screening criteria listed above. An applicant that has submitted an application that is
determined to be ineligible for funding will be notified along with other applicants, or sooner, if
possible.
E.2.2. Application Review Committee
Evaluation criteria will comprise the total evaluation weight as stated in the Section E.1 Evaluation
Criteria. Application Review Information. Applications will be scored against the evaluation criteria
by an ARC, made up of experts in relevant disciplines selected from across Reclamation. The ARC
will also review the application to ensure that the project meets the description of eligible projects
and meets the objective of this NOFO. The ARC also has the discretion to determine whether a
project is a Small-Scale Water Efficiency Project. If the ARC determines that the project is too large
to be considered a small-scale project, the project may be determined ineligible under this NOFO.
During ARC review, Reclamation may contact applicants to request clarifications to the information
provided, if necessary.
E.2.3. Red-Flag Review
Following the results of the ARC review, Reclamation offices will review the top- ranking
applications and will identify any reasons why a proposed project would not be feasible or otherwise
advisable, including environmental or cultural resources compliance issues, permitting issues, legal
issues, or financial position. Positive or negative past performance by the applicant and any partners
in previous working relationships with Reclamation may be considered, including whether the
applicant is making significant progress toward the completion of outstanding financial assistance
agreements and whether the applicant is in compliance with all reporting requirements associated
with previously funded projects.
In addition, during this review, Reclamation will address any specific concerns or questions raised by
members of the ARC, conduct a preliminary budget review, and evaluate the applicant’s ability to
meet cost share as required.
Section E. Application Review Information
31
E.2.4. Managerial Review
Reclamation management will prioritize projects to ensure the total amount of all awards does not
exceed available funding levels. Management will also ensure that all projects meet the scope,
priorities, requirements, and objectives of this NOFO. Management may also prioritize projects to
ensure that multiple project types are represented. After completion of the Managerial Review,
Reclamation will notify applicants whose proposals have been selected for award consideration.
E.2.5. Pre-Award Clearances and Approvals
The following pre-award clearances and approvals must be obtained before an award of funding is
made. If the results of all pre-award reviews and clearances are satisfactory, an award of funding will
be made once the agreement is finalized (approximately one to three months from the date of initial
selection). If the results of pre-award reviews and clearances are unsatisfactory, consideration of
funding for the project may be withdrawn.
E.2.5.1. Environmental Review
Reclamation will forward all proposals to the appropriate Reclamation Regional or Area Office for
completion of environmental compliance. To the extent possible, environmental compliance will be
completed before a financial assistance agreement is signed by the parties. However, in most cases,
the award will be made contingent on completion of environmental compliance. The financial
assistance agreement will describe how compliance will be carried out and how the costs will be
paid. Ground-disturbing activities, including any construction or installation activities, may not occur
until environmental compliance is complete and a notice to proceed is issued.
Even in cases where environmental compliance work has been completed previously or is being
completed by another Federal agency, Reclamation must still review and adopt such environmental
compliance and issue a notice to proceed before ground disturbing activities may be initiated.
E.2.5.2. Budget Analysis and Business Evaluation
A Reclamation Grants Officer will also conduct a detailed budget analysis and complete a business
evaluation and responsibility determination. During this evaluation, the Grants Officer will consider
several factors that are important, but not quantified, such as:
• Allowability, allocability, and reasonableness of proposed costs
• Financial strength and stability of the applicant
• Past performance, including satisfactory compliance with all terms and conditions of
previous awards, such as environmental compliance issues, reporting requirements, proper
procurement of supplies and services, and audit compliance
• Adequacy of personnel practices, procurement procedures, and accounting policies and
procedures, as established by applicable Office of Management and Budget circulars
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300
32
E.4. Anticipated Announcement and Federal Award Date
Reclamation expects to contact potential award recipients and unsuccessful applicants in summer
2021 subject to the timing and amount of final FY 2021 appropriations. Financial assistance
agreements will be awarded to applicants that successfully pass all pre-award reviews and clearances.
Award recipients will be contacted individually to discuss the time frame for the completion of their
agreement.
Section F. Federal Award Information
33
Section F. Federal Award Administration
Information
F.1. Federal Award Notices
Successful applicants will receive by electronic mail, a notice of selection signed by a Reclamation
Grants Officer. This notice is not an authorization to begin performance.
F.2. Administrative and National Policy Requirements
F.2.1. Environmental and Cultural Resources Compliance
All projects being considered for award funding will require compliance with NEPA before any
ground-disturbing activity may begin. Compliance with all applicable state, Federal and local
environmental, cultural, and paleontological resource protection laws and regulations is also
required. These may include, but are not limited to, the Clean Water Act (CWA), Endangered
Species Act (ESA), National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), consultation with potentially
affected tribes, and consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office.
Reclamation will be the lead Federal agency for NEPA compliance and will be responsible for
evaluating technical information and ensuring that natural resources, cultural, and socioeconomic
concerns are appropriately addressed. As the lead agency, Reclamation is solely responsible for
determining the appropriate level of NEPA compliance. Further, Reclamation is responsible to
ensure that findings under NEPA, and consultations, as appropriate, will support Reclamation’s
decision on whether to fund a project.
Depending on the potential impacts of the project, Reclamation may be able to complete its
compliance activities without additional cost to the recipient. Where environmental or cultural
resources compliance requires significant participation by Reclamation, costs anticipated to be
incurred by Reclamation will be added as a line item to the budget during development of the
financial assistance agreement and cost shared accordingly. Any costs to the recipient associated with
compliance will be identified during the process of developing a final project budget for inclusion in
the financial assistance agreement.
Note, if mitigation is required to lessen environmental impacts, the applicant may, at Reclamation’s discretion, be
required to report on progress and completion of these commitments. Reclamation will coordinate with the applicant to
establish reporting requirements and intervals accordingly.
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300
34
Under no circumstances may an applicant begin any ground -disturbing activities
(e.g., grading, clearing, and other preliminary activities) on a project before environmental
and cultural resources compliance is complete and a Reclamation Grants Officer provides
written notification that all such clea rances have been obtained. This pertains to all
components of the proposed project, including those that are part of the applicant’s non-
Federal cost share. An applicant that proceeds before environmental and cultural resources
compliance is complete may risk forfeiting Reclamation funding under this NOFO.
F.2.2. Approvals and Permits
Recipients shall adhere to Federal, State, territorial, Tribal, and local laws, regulations, and codes, as
applicable, and shall obtain all required approvals and permits. Recipients shall also coordinate and
obtain approvals from site owners and operators.
F.2.3. Requirements for Agricultural Operations under P.L. 111-11, Section 9504(a)(3)(B)
In accordance with Section 9504(a)(3)(B) of P.L. 111-11, as amended, grants and cooperative
agreements under this authority will not be awarded for an improvement to conserve irrigation
water unless the applicant agrees to both of the following conditions (see exception for Tribes
below):
(1) Not to use any associated water savings to increase the total irrigated acreage of the eligible
applicant
(2) Not to otherwise increase the consumptive use of water in the operation of the eligible
applicant, as determined pursuant to the law of the State in which the operation of the
eligible applicant is located
Exception for tribes: requirements regarding irrigated acreage and consumptive use applicable to
tribes are described in P.L. 116-9, Section 8501.
F.2.4. Title to Improvements P.L. 111-11, Section 9504(a)(3)(D)
If the activities funded through an agreement awarded under this NOFO result in a modification to
a portion of a federally owned facility that is integral to the existing operations of that facility, the
Federal government shall continue to hold title to the facility and the improvements thereto. Title to
improvements, P.L. 111-11, Section 9504(a)(3)(D) that are not integral to existing water delivery
operations shall reside with the project sponsor.
F.2.5. Operation and Maintenance Costs under P.L. 111-11, Section 9504(a)(3)(E)(iv)
The non-Federal share of the costs for operation and maintenance of any infrastructure
improvement funded through an agreement awarded under this NOFO shall be 100 percent.
Section F. Federal Award Information
35
F.2.6. Liability under P.L. 111-11, Section 9504(a)(3)(F)
F.2.6.1. In General
Except as provided under Chapter 171 of Title 28, U.S.C. (commonly known as the Federal Tort
Claims Act), the United States shall not be liable for monetary damages of any kind for any injury
arising out of an act, omission, or occurrence that arises in relation to any facility created or
improved through an agreement awarded under this NOFO, the title of which is not held by the
United States.
F.2.6.2. Tort Claims Act
Nothing in this section increases the liability of the United States beyond that provided in Federal
Tort Claims Act.
F.2.7. Intangible Property (2 CFR §200.315)
Title to intangible property acquired under a Federal award vests upon acquisition in the non-
Federal entity (see 2 CFR §200.59 Intangible Property). The non-Federal entity must use that
property for the originally authorized purpose and must not encumber the property without
approval of the Federal awarding agency. When no longer needed for the originally authorized
purpose, disposition of the intangible property must occur in accordance with the provisions in
2 CFR §200.313(e) Equipment.
The non-Federal entity may copyright any work that is subject to copyright and was developed, or
for which ownership was acquired, under a Federal award. The Federal awarding agency reserves a
royalty-free, nonexclusive and irrevocable right to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use the work for
Federal purposes, and to authorize others to do so.
The non-Federal entity is subject to applicable regulations governing patents and inventions,
including government wide regulations issued by the Department of Commerce at 37 CFR Part 401,
“Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit Organizations and Small Business Firms Under
Government Awards, Contracts and Cooperative Agreements.”
The Federal government has the right to:
(1) obtain, reproduce, publish, or otherwise use the data produced under a Federal award and
(2) authorize others to receive, reproduce, publish, or otherwise use such data for Federal
purposes.
F.2.8. Freedom of Information Act
In response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA ) request for research data relating to
published research findings produced under a Federal award that were used by the Federal
government in developing an agency action that has the force and effect of law, the Federal
awarding agency must request, and the non-Federal entity must provide, within a reasonable time,
the research data so that they can be made available to the public through the procedures established
under the FOIA. If the Federal awarding agency obtains the research data solely in response to a
FOIA request, the Federal awarding agency may charge the requester a reasonable fee equaling the
full incremental cost of obtaining the research data. This fee should reflect costs incurred by the
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300
36
Federal agency and the non-Federal entity. This fee is in addition to any fees the Federal awarding
agency may assess under the FOIA (5 USC 552[a][4][A]).
Published research findings means when:
(1) Research findings are published in a peer-reviewed scientific or technical journal; or
(2) A Federal agency publicly and officially cites the research findings in support of an agency
action that has the force and effect of law. “Used by the Federal government in developing
an agency action that has the force and effect of law” is defined as when an agency publicly
and officially cites the research findings in support of an agency action that has the force
and effect of law.
Research data means the recorded factual material commonly accepted in the scientific community
as necessary to validate research findings, but not any of the following: preliminary analyses, drafts
of scientific papers, plans for future research, peer reviews, or communications with colleagues. This
“recorded” material excludes physical objects (e.g., laboratory samples). Research data also does not
include:
(1) Trade secrets, commercial information, materials necessary to be held confidential by a
researcher until they are published, or similar information which is protected under law and
(2) Personnel and medical information and similar information the disclosure of which would
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, such as information that
could be used to identify a particular person in a research study.
F.2.9. National Defense Authorization Act
Applicants may not use funding awarded under this NOFO to purchase certain telecommunication
and video surveillance services or equipment in alignment with section 889 of the National Defense
Authorization Act of 2019 (P.L. No. 115-232) (2 CFR §200.216).
F.3. Reporting—Requirements and Distribution
If the applicant is awarded an agreement as a result of this NOFO, the applicant will be required to
submit the following reports during the term of the agreement. Recipients will also be required to
have a system in place to comply with these reporting requirements (see 2 CFR §170.210 for
additional information).
F.3.1. Financial Reports
Recipients will be required to submit a fully completed form SF-425 Federal Financial Report on at
least an annual basis and with the final performance report. The SF-425 must be signed by a person
legally authorized to obligate the recipient.
F.3.2. Interim Performance Reports
The specific terms and conditions pertaining to the reporting requirements will be included in the
financial assistance agreement.
Section F. Federal Award Information
37
Interim performance reports submitted on at least an annual basis, that include the following
information:
• A comparison of actual accomplishments to the milestones established by the financial
assistance agreement for the period
• The reasons why established milestones were not met, if applicable
• The status of milestones from the previous reporting period that were not met, if applicable
• Whether the project is on schedule and within the original cost estimate
• Any additional pertinent information or issues related to the status of the project
F.3.3. Final Performance Reports
Recipients will be required to submit a final performance report encompassing the entire period of
performance. The final performance report must include, but is not limited to, the following
information:
• Whether the project objectives and goals were met
• Discussion of the benefits achieved by the project
• Photographs documenting the project are also appreciated
Note: Reclamation may print photos with appropriate credit to the applicant. Also, final reports are
public documents and will be made available on Reclamation’s website.
F.4. Conflicts of Interest
F.4.1. Applicability
This section intends to ensure that non-Federal entities and their employees take appropriate steps
to avoid conflicts of interest in their responsibilities under or with respect to Federal financial
assistance agreements. In the procurement of supplies, equipment, construction, and services by
recipients and by subrecipients, the conflict of interest provisions in 2 CFR 200.318 apply.
F.4.2. Requirements
Non-Federal entities must avoid prohibited conflicts of interest, including any significant financial
interests that could cause a reasonable person to question the recipient's ability to provide impartial,
technically sound, and objective performance under or with respect to a Federal financial assistance
agreement.
In addition to any other prohibitions that may apply with respect to conflicts of interest, no key
official of an actual or proposed recipient or subrecipient, who is substantially involved in the
proposal or project, may have been a former Federal employee who, within the last year, participated
personally and substantially in the evaluation, award, or administration of an award with respect to
that recipient or subrecipient or in development of the requirement leading to the funding
announcement.
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300
38
No actual or prospective recipient or subrecipient may solicit, obtain, or use non-public information
regarding the evaluation, award, or administration of an award to that recipient or subrecipient or
the development of a Federal financial assistance opportunity that may be of competitive interest to
that recipient or subrecipient.
F.4.3. Notification
Non-Federal entities, including applicants for financial assistance awards, must disclose in writing
any conflict of interest to the Department’s awarding agency or pass-through entity in accordance
with 2 CFR 200.112, Conflicts of Interest. Recipients must establish internal controls that include, at
a minimum, procedures to identify, disclose, and mitigate or eliminate identified conflicts of interest.
The recipient is responsible for notifying the Financial Assistance Officer in writing of any conflicts
of interest that may arise during the life of the award, including those that have been reported by
subrecipients.
F.4.4. Restrictions on Lobbying
Non-Federal entities are strictly prohibited from using funds under this grant or cooperative
agreement for lobbying activities and must provide the required certifications and disclosures
pursuant to 43 CFR Part 18 and 31 U.S.C. 13 52.
F.4.5. Review Procedures
The Financial Assistance Officer will examine each conflict of interest disclosure on the basis of its
particular facts and the nature of the proposed grant or cooperative agreement and will determine
whether a significant potential conflict exists and, if it does, develop an appropriate means for
resolving it.
F.4.6. Enforcement
Failure to resolve conflicts of interest in a manner that satisfies the Government may be cause for
termination of the award. Failure to make required disclosures may result in any of the remedies
described in 2 CFR 200.338, Remedies for Noncompliance, including suspension or debarment (see
also 2 CFR Part 180).
F.5. Data Availability
F.5.1. Applicability
The Department is committed to basing its decisions on the best available science and providing the
American people with enough information to thoughtfully and substantively evaluate the data,
methodology, and analysis used by the Department to inform its decisions.
F.5.2. Use of Data

Section H. Other Information
43
Section H. Other Information
The following is a brief overview of NEPA, NHPA, and ESA. This information is only relevant to
proposals that include measurement, monitoring and field work. While these statutes are not the
only environmental laws that may apply, they are the Federal laws that most frequently do apply.
Compliance with all applicable environmental laws will be initiated by Reclamation concurrently,
immediately following the initial recommendation to award a financial assistance agreement under
this NOFO. The descriptions below are intended to provide you with information about the
environmental compliance issues that may apply to your projects and to help you budget
appropriately for the associated compliance costs.
H.1. Environmental and Cultural Resource Considerations
To allow Reclamation to assess the probable environmental and cultural resources impacts and costs
associated with each application, all applicants should consider the following list of questions
focusing on the NEPA, NHPA, and ESA requirements. Please answer the following questions to
the best of your knowledge. If any question is not applicable to the project, please explain why.
The application should include the answers to:
• Will the proposed project impact the surrounding environment (e.g., soil [dust], air, water
[quality and quantity], animal habitat)? Please briefly describe all earth-disturbing work and
any work that will affect the air, water, or animal habitat in the project area. Please also
explain the impacts of such work on the surrounding environment and any steps that could
be taken to minimize the impacts.
• Are you aware of any species listed or proposed to be listed as a Federal threatened or
endangered species, or designated critical habitat in the project area? If so, would they be
affected by any activities associated with the proposed project?
• Are there wetlands or other surface waters inside the project boundaries that potentially fall
under CWA jurisdiction as “Waters of the United States?” If so, please describe and estimate
any impacts the proposed project may have.
• When was the water delivery system constructed?
• Will the proposed project result in any modification of or effects to, individual features of an
irrigation system (e.g., headgates, canals, or flumes)? If so, state when those features were
constructed and describe the nature and timing of any extensive alterations or modifications
to those features completed previously.
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300
44
• Are any buildings, structures, or features in the irrigation district listed or eligible for listing
on the National Register of Historic Places? A cultural resources specialist at your local
Reclamation office or the State Historic Preservation Office can assist in answering this
question.
• Are there any known archeological sites in the proposed project area?
• Will the proposed project have a disproportionately high and adverse effect on low income
or minority populations?
• Will the proposed project limit access to and ceremonial use of Indian sacred sites or result
in other impacts on tribal lands?
• Will the proposed project contribute to the introduction, continued existence, or spread of
noxious weeds or non-native invasive species known to occur in the area?
H.2. Background on Federal Environmental and Cultural
Resource Laws
H.2.1. National Environmental Policy Act
NEPA requires Federal agencies such as Reclamation to evaluate, during the decision-making
process, the potential environmental effects of a proposed action and any reasonable mitigation
measures. Before Reclamation can make a decision to fund an award under this NOFO,
Reclamation must comply with NEPA. Compliance with NEPA can be accomplished in several
ways, depending upon the degree and significance of environmental impacts associated with the
proposal:
Some projects may fit within a recognized Categorical Exclusion (CE) to NEPA (i.e., one of the
established categories of activities that generally do not have significant impacts on the
environment). If a project fits within a CE, no further NEPA compliance measures are necessary.
Use of a CE can involve simple identification of an applicable Department CE or documentation
of a Reclamation CE using a Categorical Exclusion Checklist (CEC). If a CE is being
considered, Reclamation will determine the applicability of the CE and whether extraordinary
circumstances (i.e., reasons that the CE cannot be applied) exist. That process can take anywhere
from 1 day to about 30 days, depending upon the specific situation.
If the project does not fit within a CE, compliance with NEPA might require preparation of an
EA/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). Generally, where no CE applies but there are
not believed to be any significant impacts associated with the proposed action, an EA will be
required. The EA is used to determine whether any potentially significant effects exist (which would
trigger the further step of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), below). If no potentially
significant effects are identified, the EA process ends with the preparation of a FONSI. The
EA/FONSI process is more detailed than the CE/CEC process and can take weeks or even months
to complete. Consultation with other agencies and public notification are part of the EA process.
Section H. Other Information
45
The most detailed form of NEPA compliance, where a proposed project has potentially significant
environmental effects, is completion of an EIS and Record of Decision. An EIS requires months
or years to complete, and the process includes considerable public involvement, including
mandatory public reviews of draft documents. It is not anticipated that projects proposed under this
program will require completion of an EIS.
During the NEPA process, potential impacts of a project are evaluated in context and in terms of
intensity (e.g., will the proposed action affect the only native prairie in the county? Will the proposed
action reduce water supplied to a wetland by 1 percent? or 95 percent?). The best source of
information concerning the potentially significant issues in a project area is the local Reclamation
staff that has experience in evaluating effects in context and by intensity.
Reclamation has the sole discretion to determine what level of environmental NEPA compliance is
required. If another Federal agency is involved, Reclamation will coordinate to determine the
appropriate level of compliance. You are encouraged to contact your regional or area Reclamation
office. See www.usbr.gov/main/offices.html with questions regarding NEPA compliance issues.
You may also contact the Program Coordinator for further information (see Section G. Agency
Contacts).
H.2.2. National Historic Preservation Act
To comply with Section 106 of the NHPA, Reclamation must consider whether a proposed project
has the potential to cause effects to historic properties, before it can complete an award under
this NOFO. Historic properties are cultural resources (historic or prehistoric districts, sites,
buildings, structures, or objects) that qualify for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
In some cases, water delivery infrastructure that is over 50 years old can be considered a historic
property that is subject to review.
If a proposal is selected for initial award, the recipient will work with Reclamation to complete the
Section 106 process. Compliance can be accomplished in several ways, depending on how complex
the issues are, including:
• If Reclamation determines that the proposed project does not have the potential to cause
effects to historic properties, then Reclamation will document its findings and the Section
106 process will be concluded. This can take anywhere from a couple of days to one month.
• If Reclamation determines that the proposed project could have effects on historic
properties, a multi-step process, involving consultation with the State Historic Preservation
Officer and other entities, will follow. Depending on the nature of the project and impacts
to cultural resources, consultation can be complex and time consuming. The process
includes:
o A determination as to whether additional information is necessary.
o Evaluation of the significance of identified cultural resources.
o Assessment of the effect of the project on historic properties.
o A determination as to whether the project would have an adverse effect and evaluation
of alternatives or modifications to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the effects.
Notice of Funding Opportunity No. R21AS00300

o A Memorandum of Agreement is then used to record and implement any necessary
measures. At a minimum, completion of the multi-step Section 106 process takes about
two months.
• Among the types of historic properties that might be affected by projects proposed under
this NOFO are historic irrigation systems and archaeological sites. An irrigation system
or a component of an irrigation system (e.g., a canal or headgate) is more likely to qualify as
historic if it is more than 50 years old, if it is the oldest (or an early) system/component in
the surrounding area, and if the system/component has not been significantly altered or
modernized. In general, proposed projects that involve ground disturbance, or the alteration
of existing older structures, are more likely to have the potential to affect cultural resources.
However, the level of cultural resources compliance required, and the associated cost,
depends on a case-by-case review of the circumstances presented by each proposal.
You should contact your State Historic Preservation Office and your local Reclamation office’s
cultural resources specialist to determine what, if any, cultural resources surveys have been
conducted in the project area. See www.usbr.gov/cultural/crmstaff.html for a list of Reclamation
cultural resource specialists. If an applicant has previously received Federal financial assistance it is
possible that a cultural resources survey has already been completed.
H.2.3. Endangered Species Act
Pursuant to Section 7 of the ESA, each Federal agency is required to consult with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Fisheries Service to ensure any action it authorizes, funds, or carries out is not likely to jeopardize
the continued existence of any endangered or threatened species or destroy or adversely
modify any designated critical habitat.
Before Reclamation can approve funding for the implementation of a proposed project, it is
required to comply with Section 7 of the ESA. The steps necessary for ESA compliance vary,
depending on the presence of endangered or threatened species and the effects of the proposed
project.
A rough overview of the possible course of ESA compliance is:
• If Reclamation can determine that there are no endangered or threatened species or
designated critical habitat in the project area, then the ESA review is complete and no
further compliance measures are required. This process can take anywhere from one day to
one month.
• If Reclamation determines that endangered or threatened species may be affected by the
project, then a Biological Assessment must be prepared by Reclamation. The Biological
Assessment is used to help determine whether a proposed action may affect a listed species
or its designated critical habitat. The Biological Assessment may result in a determination
that a proposed action is not likely to adversely affect any endangered or threatened
species.
Section H. Other Information
47
If the USFWS/NOAA Fisheries Service concurs in writing, then no further consultation is
required and the ESA compliance is complete. Depending on the scope and complexity of
the proposed action, preparation of a Biological Assessment can range from days to weeks
or even months. The USFWS/NOAA Fisheries Service generally respond to requests for
concurrence within 30 days
• If it is determined that the project is likely to adversely affect listed species, further
consultation (formal consultation) with USFWS or NOAA Fisheries Service is required to
comply with the ESA. The process includes the creation of a Biological Opinion by the
USFWS/NOAA Fisheries Service, including a determination of whether the project would
jeopardize listed species and, if so, whether any reasonable and prudent alternatives to the
proposed project are necessary to avoid jeopardy. Nondiscretionary reasonable and
prudent measures and terms and conditions to minimize the impact of incidental take
may also be included. Under the timeframes established in the ESA regulations, the
Biological Opinion is issued within 135 days from the date that formal consultation was
initiated, unless an extension of time is agreed upon.
The time, cost, and extent of the work necessary to comply with the ESA depends upon whether
endangered or threatened species are present in the project area and, if so, whether the project might
have effects on those species significant enough to require formal consultation.
ESA compliance is often conducted parallel to the NEPA compliance process and, as in the case of
a CEC, documented simultaneously. The best source of information concerning the compliance
with the ESA in a particular project area is the local Reclamation environmental staff that can be
helpful in determining the presence of listed species and possible effects that would require
consultation with the USFWS or NOAA Fisheries Service. Contact your regional or area
Reclamation office, www.usbr.gov/main/offices.html with questions regarding ESA compliance
issues.
