About this program
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation funds design and construction of safe and adequate municipal, rural, and industrial water supply systems for the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and surrounding counties in Montana (CFDA 15.516), with the most recent grant award dated September 14, 2023.
The program operates through cooperative agreements exclusively, funding infrastructure development for the Fort Peck Tribal Executive Board, the Dry Prairie Rural Water Association, and residents across Roosevelt, Sheridan, Daniels, and Valley Counties in Montana. Award activity is episodic: five cooperative agreements have been obligated since 2002, with funding concentrated in 2002–2003 and then gaps before awards in 2012, 2017, and 2023. The program is not actively soliciting applications through a posted notice of funding opportunity; all funding has been directed through amendments to existing cooperative agreements as annual scopes of work and budgets are finalized between Reclamation's Great Plains Region and the non-federal entities.
Combined federal dollars obligated total $147.4 million, with an additional $14.4 million in non-federal cost-share from recipients, bringing total obligated funds to $161.8 million. The Bureau of Reclamation is the sole funding agency. Award magnitudes have ranged from $8.7 million to $60.6 million per cooperative agreement. The most recent award (Cooperative Agreement R23AC00364, September 2023, $60.6 million) funds design and construction of the Dry Prairie Rural Water Supply System for Roosevelt, Sheridan, Daniels, and Valley Counties, with ultimate completion scheduled for December 31, 2026. An earlier cooperative agreement (R17AC00131, September 2017, $58.9 million) also supported Dry Prairie system design and construction.
Funding availability is tied to Congressional appropriations; the program was authorized for appropriations through fiscal year 2022, and continuation beyond that point depends on future Congressional action. Proposed changes to project scopes require review for ongoing National Environmental Policy Act compliance.
