Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR LC 18 N007
This funding opportunity is a Bureau of Reclamation (U.S. Department of the Interior) discretionary grant described as a "Notice of Intent to Award" to the Colorado River Indian Tribe. It focuses on environmental restoration work at the Ahakhav Tribal Preserve, which sits along the lower Colorado River south of Parker, Arizona, within the Colorado River Indian Reservation. The preserve contains eleven restoration sites, and the work highlighted here centers on the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) II project area and nearby backwater features.
The core purpose of the project is habitat restoration aimed at supporting sensitive riparian and marsh bird species, especially the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher and the Yuma Clapper Rail, with additional benefits expected for the California Black Rail. A key driver for the on-the-ground work is that new culverts have been installed in the backwater system adjacent to the CRIT II site, and the surrounding areas and culvert corridors have been heavily affected by invasive, non-native vegetation. The project proposes removing invasive plants such as Arundo donax (giant reed) and salt cedar (tamarisk), which tend to outcompete native species, alter hydrology, and reduce habitat quality for native wildlife.
After invasive removal, the plan is to replant and restore the area with native riparian trees that are more suitable for the target species and for long-term ecosystem function. The native species specifically mentioned include Goodding willow, Fremont cottonwood, and honey mesquite. Reestablishing these native plant communities is intended to rebuild the structure and ecological conditions needed for nesting, foraging, and cover, thereby expanding or improving habitat within the preserve and around the backwater system influenced by the culverts.
In addition to restoration and revegetation, the opportunity includes a strong monitoring component meant to measure how the culvert system and associated restoration actions affect local fish and plant communities over time. The project will develop a monitoring system for the backwater culverts and collect field samples and measurements to track ecological response. Monitoring activities include water quality sampling, documenting aquatic vegetation, evaluating fish habitat conditions, and taking depth and flow measurements. Together, these data are meant to show whether the restoration is improving conditions, guide any needed adjustments, and provide a clearer picture of how changes in vegetation and water movement through the culverts influence the broader backwater environment.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number BOR LC 18 N007 and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.517. The only eligible applicants are federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the notice anticipates a single award. The maximum award amount is $95,912, with the opportunity created on August 16, 2018, and an original closing date of August 30, 2018. Overall, the grant supports a targeted invasive species removal and native revegetation effort paired with practical monitoring to document ecological outcomes for birds, fish habitat, and aquatic and riparian plant communities at the Ahakhav Tribal Preserve.Apply for BOR LC 18 N007
