Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR PN 20 N006

The Cascade Conservation Implementation opportunity is a mandatory cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Pacific Northwest Region), focused on restoring and maintaining conservation infrastructure and practices around Cascade Reservoir in Idaho. The project is rooted in the Lake Cascade Resource Management Plan, under which Reclamation designated lands at the Cascade Project as Wildlife Management Areas and Conservation Areas back in 2002. The overall intent is to protect and enhance the integrity of these designated lands by improving on-the-ground management actions that support both terrestrial and aquatic wildlife.

A major driver behind the work is the reservoir's recent water quality decline. Cascade Reservoir has seen increasing nutrient levels that contributed to harmful algal blooms, which in turn triggered human health advisories issued by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality in 2018 and 2019. The opportunity also highlights important wildlife concerns, especially for grebes. Cascade Reservoir hosts the largest known nesting colony of grebes in Idaho, and grebes are identified as a Tier II Species of Greatest Conservation Need in the state. In recent years, the number of nests has dropped, with the decline linked to nesting disturbance and water quality problems. The agreement is designed to address these kinds of pressures by improving habitat protection and reducing disruptive uses in sensitive areas.

Implementation responsibilities are assigned to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, which will provide its labor force to carry out conservation and maintenance activities around the reservoir and adjacent conservation lands. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordination, oversight, or shared project responsibilities as work is carried out.

For fiscal year 2020, the first stated priority is a very specific on-the-ground improvement: installing 7.5 miles of wildlife-friendly fencing along the west side of Cascade Reservoir. The practical purpose of the fence is to reduce or eliminate grazing impacts and limit off-road vehicle access within the wildlife management and conservation areas. By controlling these uses, the project aims to reduce habitat degradation and disturbance, which can translate into better conditions for nesting birds and other wildlife and help protect shoreline and upland habitats that influence reservoir health.

The opportunity anticipates a single award and lists an award ceiling of $0, which generally indicates the funding amount is determined internally or is otherwise not advertised in the public notice rather than meaning no funding exists. The posting identifies the program under CFDA 15.517 and categorizes eligible applicants broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced but not included in the text provided. The funding opportunity number is BOR PN 20 N006. The notice was created on June 9, 2020, with an original closing date of June 18, 2020, reflecting a short application window consistent with a mandatory or directed award.

Beyond the initial year, the announcement makes clear that additional work may continue if funding remains available and if Reclamation and Idaho Department of Fish and Game mutually agree on future priorities and the terms for continued conservation activities at the reservoir. In other words, the agreement is structured to start with a concrete, high-priority access and grazing control project, while leaving room for follow-on conservation and maintenance efforts as needs, funding, and agency priorities evolve.
