Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR LC 17 N012
The Notice of Intent to Award to the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians is a federal funding opportunity from the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on environmental restoration work on the Santa Rosa Indian Reservation in Riverside County, California. The reservation covers about 11,021 acres of federally held trust land and includes large areas of rural, largely undeveloped terrain that remains covered in natural vegetation. Because the reservation sits at the headwaters of drainage areas feeding both the Santa Ana River Basin and the Colorado River Basin, land and water conditions in this area can influence downstream watershed health, making erosion control and habitat protection especially important.
The project described in the notice centers on the Palm Canyon Dam Reservoir, a waterbody created after the Palm Canyon Dam was restored in 2015 to capture flows from Palm Canyon Creek. The reservoir is described as providing clear benefits to both the surrounding ecosystem and the local community. Over time, however, reservoirs and their shorelines can face issues like erosion and sediment buildup, which can degrade water quality, smother habitat, reduce storage capacity, and destabilize banks and adjacent vegetation. This grant-supported work is intended to address those kinds of problems directly around the reservoir and improve the condition of the habitat in that area.
The planned on-the-ground activities include removing invasive plant materials, planting native trees, and implementing actions to reduce erosion and manage sediment. Invasive plant removal is a common first step in restoration because invasive species can outcompete native plants, alter soil and water dynamics, and reduce habitat value for native wildlife. Reestablishing native trees and vegetation helps stabilize soils, reduces runoff-driven erosion, and supports more resilient habitat structure. The erosion and sediment measures are aimed at preventing further degradation and improving the physical stability and ecological function of the shoreline and surrounding lands.
The expected outcomes emphasize broad community and environmental benefits. By improving habitat quality around the reservoir, the project is intended to support wildlife and strengthen ecological conditions, while also improving the recreational and aesthetic value of the area. Beyond ecological gains, the notice highlights cultural benefits for the Santa Rosa people by restoring and improving access to an area near water for cultural activities, connecting present-day community use with the practices of their ancestors. In that sense, the project is framed not only as environmental repair but also as a way to sustain cultural relationships with the landscape.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as an "Other" category federal opportunity using a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency typically expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction. The funding activity category is Environment, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.519. Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the notice anticipates a single award to the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians. The award ceiling is $49,812, with an expected number of awards of 1. The opportunity was created on August 25, 2017, with an original closing date of September 8, 2017, reflecting that it is a time-bound funding action intended to support this specific, locally defined restoration effort.Apply for BOR LC 17 N012
