Opportunity Summary:

The Middle Entiat Adaptive Management Plan is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on natural resources work tied to long-term stewardship of restoration projects. The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to be actively involved in the project through coordination, oversight, or shared responsibilities rather than acting as a hands-off funder.

The core purpose of the funding is to support Chelan County Natural Resource Department (CCNRD) in providing long-term management of restoration actions that have already been completed on lands owned by the Chelan Douglas Land Trust (CDLT). In practical terms, this grant is about ensuring that restoration investments remain functional and effective over time by formalizing who will inspect, maintain, and adaptively manage the restoration features after installation. CDLT has determined that CCNRD is the appropriate entity to carry out these ongoing duties and has established an agreement stating that CCNRD will own, inspect, manage, and assume responsibility for certain structures planned to be built on CDLT property. For a specific portion of the project identified as Project Area A, CCNRD will not take ownership of the structures, but will still provide inspection, monitoring, adaptive management, and overall oversight, reinforcing that the emphasis is on performance and long-term accountability regardless of ownership status.

From an applicant and administrative standpoint, eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number BOR PN 17 N003 under CFDA 15.517. It was created on July 7, 2017, with an original closing date of July 21, 2017, indicating a short application window. The funding structure anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $334,440, suggesting that the program is designed to fund one specific, targeted project rather than multiple smaller grants.

Overall, the opportunity is centered on long-term operations, monitoring, and adaptive management for restoration infrastructure on land trust property, with CCNRD positioned as the entity responsible for ensuring the installed restoration measures are inspected, managed, and adjusted over time to meet ecological and project objectives.
