Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR UC 19 NO11
The GJO Horsethief Canyon SWA Grant Renewal (HCSWA) is a continuation grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on natural resources work tied to the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Project. It supports the ongoing operation, maintenance, and long-term stewardship of wildlife habitat areas created as mitigation for habitat losses that occurred during infrastructure improvements in Mesa County, Colorado. Those improvements, made under the Grand Valley Unit of the Salinity Control Project to reduce salt loading to the Colorado River, upgraded canal and lateral systems but also unintentionally dried up scattered wetlands and other habitat, reducing wildlife resources in the area. This funding opportunity exists to help ensure those losses are compensated through the continued management of replacement habitats along the Colorado River corridor.
The project background is rooted in a classic tradeoff: salinity control benefits water quality and downstream uses, but construction and system changes can alter local hydrology in ways that harm wetlands and riparian areas. To address this, Reclamation partnered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Colorado Division of Wildlife (now Colorado Parks and Wildlife, CPW) to acquire, develop, and preserve permanent wildlife habitats along the river. Under this grant renewal, CPW is the key implementing entity responsible for operating and maintaining these areas, which together total more than 2,000 acres of high-quality habitat along the Colorado River. The emphasis is on keeping these mitigation lands functional and resilient over time, rather than treating habitat creation as a one-time activity.
On-the-ground work supported by the grant centers on habitat restoration and enhancement actions that improve ecological conditions and reduce pressure on affected properties. The description highlights restoration of native cottonwood riparian forests, development or maintenance of wetlands, and establishment of permanent grassland and shrub habitats. In practical terms, that typically means maintaining hydrologic conditions needed for wetlands, supporting native vegetation communities that provide structure and food for wildlife, and sustaining a mosaic of habitat types that can support birds, mammals, amphibians, and other species associated with river corridors in western Colorado.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number BOR UC 19 NO11 and CFDA (Assistance Listing) 15.509. It is categorized as a continuation grant, uses the grant funding instrument, and falls within the Natural Resources activity category. Eligibility is limited to state governments, aligning with CPW's role as the managing agency. The opportunity was created on September 9, 2019, with an original closing date of September 22, 2019. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $1,817,341, which signals a targeted renewal intended to sustain an existing, specific mitigation and habitat management effort rather than open competition for multiple new projects.Apply for BOR UC 19 NO11
