Opportunity Information: Apply for R12AP35357
The "La Jolla Irrigation Multi-Phased Water Resources Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number R12AP35357) is a Bureau of Reclamation grant action intended to support the La Jolla Band of Luise no Indians in improving water reliability, efficiency, and resilience on Tribal lands. The work is framed as a continuation effort under CFDA 15.519 and focuses on practical, infrastructure-oriented steps to reduce dependence on limited potable water supplies while strengthening the Tribe's overall water management capacity. The opportunity is tied to priorities the Tribe previously laid out in its La Jolla Drought Contingency Plan submitted to Reclamation in 2009, meaning this award is positioned as implementation of already-identified drought response and water conservation measures rather than a brand-new planning effort.
The project is described as a multi-phased plan with six core goals. First, it includes technical assessments of the Tribe's irrigation systems, which typically involves evaluating system condition, performance, losses, and opportunities for efficiency upgrades (for example, identifying leaks, poor pressure regulation, inadequate metering, or inefficient application methods). Second, it targets improvements to irrigation water supply and distribution systems, which can include repairs, replacements, or modernization of conveyance and on-site distribution components to reduce losses and improve delivery reliability. Third, the plan calls for developing a renewable energy supply to support a water disinfection system, indicating an intent to pair water treatment needs with cleaner, potentially more reliable power (often done to reduce operating costs, increase resilience during grid disruptions, or make treatment feasible in remote locations). Fourth, the Tribe aims to enhance non-potable water supplies for fire fighting, which speaks to public safety and emergency readiness by ensuring water is available for suppression needs without drawing down scarce potable reserves. Fifth, the project includes rainwater catchment systems for isolated homes, a measure that can improve household-level water security where centralized service is limited or where hauling water is burdensome. Sixth, the plan emphasizes improved water management and conservation, a category that can cover practices such as better monitoring and accounting, operational controls, user education, scheduling improvements, conservation policies, and other demand-management actions that reduce overall consumption while maintaining necessary use.
Administratively, this announcement is explicitly not competitive. It is a notice of intent to award, meaning the agency is indicating it plans to make a single award rather than soliciting multiple applications for comparison. The expected number of awards is 1, with an award ceiling of $1,002,312. The opportunity is listed as a grant under an environmental funding activity category, with an original closing date of 2015-09-16 and a creation date of 2015-09-02. Overall, the purpose is to advance a set of targeted, previously prioritized projects that collectively improve irrigation efficiency, expand non-potable and alternative water options, integrate renewable power for disinfection, and strengthen long-term conservation and management on the La Jolla Reservation.Apply for R12AP35357
