The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $659,218.06 Project Grant to the Navajo Nation Tribal Government under the Upper Colorado and San Juan River Basins Endangered Fish Recovery program (CFDA 15.529). The grant funding will be used to purchase and install new irrigation pumps in the Hogback Canal that are compatible with the fish monitoring equipment, in order to facilitate the continued operation of the PIT-tag antennas used to detect endangered fish species. This project supports the Bureau of Reclamation's mandate to work with the Navajo Nation to operate and maintain fish passages, hatcheries, and habitats for endangered fish species in the region. The award period runs from January 11, 2024 through September 30, 2026.
