The Bureau of Reclamation is offering a cost-share grant to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game for the ongoing development, maintenance, and enhancement of wildlife projects at the Sterling Wildlife Management Area (WMA). This grant is specifically designed to improve critical upland and wetland habitats, benefiting a wide array of resident and migratory game and non-game species. The Sterling WMA lands were originally acquired to mitigate adverse effects on fish and wildlife resulting from the raising of the American Falls Dam. Expected outcomes include reduced topsoil loss through wind erosion, effective inhibition of noxious weed growth, and enhanced water storage and filtration capabilities, contributing significantly to environmental health and biodiversity.

| Description: | This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the Bureau of Reclamations intention to enter into a cost-share grant agreement in 2010 with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game for the continued development, maintenance, and enhancement of wildlife projects at the Sterling Wildlife Management Area (Sterling WMA). The Sterling WMA lands were acquired by Reclamation to mitigate adverse affects on fish and wildlife due to the raising of the American Falls Dam, Minidoka Project. Continued improvement of upland and wetland habitat at the Sterling WMA will enhance the environment for resident and migratory game and non-game species. Upland vegetation conservation, maintenance, and enhancement will reduce topsoil loss through wind erosion, and will inhibit noxious weed growth and dispersal. Wetland habitat conservation, enhancement, and creation will provide greater water storage and filtration. |
