Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR PN 19 N021
The Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Anaconda Inspection Station grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: BOR PN 19 N021) is a Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Northwest Region funding effort focused on preventing the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species into the Columbia River Basin through watercraft inspection. The opportunity falls under an environmental activity category (CFDA 15.517) and uses a grant as the funding instrument. It was posted on August 16, 2019, with an original closing date of August 29, 2019. The listing indicates eligibility under a broad "Others" category, and it is described as a single-source action based on unique qualifications, meaning the agency anticipated awarding to a specific entity rather than running a fully open competitive process. The public notice does not specify an award ceiling and does not list an expected number of awards.
The project centers on the AnacMonda watercraft inspection station located on Interstate 90, a major travel corridor for boaters moving westbound into the Columbia River Basin. The station began operations in 2017 and targets westbound watercraft traffic entering the basin, with particular attention to boats coming from regions with known infestations of dreissenid mussels (such as zebra and quagga mussels) in eastern states and from the lower Colorado River system. These mussels are widely recognized as among the most damaging aquatic invasive species in North America because they spread via trailered boats, can survive out of water for extended periods under certain conditions, and can rapidly colonize waterways once introduced.
The opportunity emphasizes why this specific inspection location is considered high value: Interstate 90 functions as a predictable funnel for long-distance boat movements, including trips originating in or passing through areas with established mussel populations. By intercepting boats at a choke point before they disperse throughout the region, the station supports early detection and prevention, which is typically far less costly and more effective than attempting to control or eradicate an invasive species after it becomes established. The description highlights a concrete performance indicator to illustrate the station's importance: the inspection program reportedly intercepted eight mussel-fouled vessels over the prior two years, demonstrating both the level of risk in the traffic stream and the practical impact of having trained inspectors and protocols in place.
Overall, the grant opportunity is aimed at sustaining or supporting the continued operation of a strategically placed inspection station designed to reduce the likelihood that high-risk watercraft will transport aquatic invasive species into Washington and the broader Columbia River Basin. The station is presented as a frontline prevention measure, aligned with a broader strategy of placing inspection resources where they can screen the highest-risk boats, identify contamination or fouling, and stop invasive species before they reach vulnerable waters. The "single source - unique qualifications" note suggests the agency viewed the operator or partner associated with this station as uniquely positioned to carry out the work, likely due to existing infrastructure, established staffing, operational experience, or coordination arrangements already in place at that Interstate 90 location.Apply for BOR PN 19 N021
