Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR UC 19 N007
The June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program, Carp Removal grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR UC 19 N007) is a continuation grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on natural resources work in and around Utah Lake. Its purpose is to support the June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program (JSRIP) by funding large scale removal of common carp, a highly disruptive invasive fish whose feeding behavior can increase water turbidity, uproot aquatic vegetation, and degrade habitat conditions needed by the endangered June Sucker. The underlying idea is straightforward: reducing carp numbers is expected to improve lake and instream habitat quality, which in turn supports recovery efforts for the June Sucker.
The project’s main deliverable is ambitious and clearly quantified: the capture, removal, transport, and proper disposal of approximately twenty five million pounds of common carp from Utah Lake. Funded activities are centered on operational removal work rather than research or planning alone. The opportunity explicitly anticipates on the water fishing and harvesting operations necessary to physically take carp out of the lake at scale, followed by logistics for moving and disposing of the removed fish in an appropriate manner.
The solicitation lists several eligible removal methods that can be supported with grant funds, including seines (such as beach seines, purse seines, or other nets that are hauled through the water), trawls, and traps (including hoop nets, fyke nets, and pond nets). At the same time, it leaves room for innovation by stating that the list is not exhaustive and that additional removal methods may be developed and proposed, suggesting applicants can bring forward other practical techniques if they can be justified and approved.
A key compliance requirement is that entities conducting carp removal must obtain a certificate of registration from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. This is not just a paperwork step; it requires review and approval of the proposed removal techniques, meaning the applicant’s approach must align with state requirements and accepted practices for fish removal, gear types, and operational impacts.
In terms of funding structure, the award is a grant with an award ceiling of up to $5,000,000, with the opportunity anticipating a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The eligible applicant category is special district governments, indicating the program is aimed at local or regional governmental entities with a specific service or resource management mandate, rather than individuals or private companies applying directly as the primary recipient.
Timing information in the notice indicates it was created on Sep 09, 2019, with an original closing date of Sep 22, 2019, reflecting a relatively short application window for that cycle. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.517, which is commonly used to track and categorize federal assistance related to Bureau of Reclamation activities. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted implementation funding to carry out a major invasive fish removal operation as a direct, on the ground action to improve habitat conditions and support recovery of an endangered native species in Utah Lake.Apply for BOR UC 19 N007
