Delta Conservation District

Delta Conservation District is a local government entity located in Delta, Colorado, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2012, with active registration until April 2026. As a county-level government organization, the district focuses on conservation efforts and natural resource management within its regional jurisdiction. While not holding a federal contract vehicle, Delta Conservation District has been actively engaged in receiving federal grant sub-awards, primarily through partnerships with the Colorado Department of Agriculture.

The district's federal grant awards demonstrate a consistent focus on agricultural conservation and sustainable land management practices. Through Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) funding, Delta Conservation District has implemented programs like the Saving Tomorrow's Agriculture Resources (STAR) Program. Specifically, the district assists local agricultural producers in adopting best management practices (BMPs), provides matching grants for environmental conservation efforts, and supports technical staffing to deliver conservation services. The grant awards, which include federal funds under CFDA number 10.902 and authorities including 16 U.S.C. Sections 590A-F, enable the district to hire conservation technicians who help landowners plan and implement sustainable land use strategies. These efforts are designed to provide short- and long-term environmental and agricultural benefits for Colorado citizens, with a primary goal of promoting responsible natural resource management at the local level.
