Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR UC 18 N009
The Glen Canyon Adaptive Management Program - Hopi grant opportunity is a Bureau of Reclamation (Department of the Interior) discretionary grant designed to support the Hopi Tribe's ongoing participation in the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP). The larger purpose of GCDAMP is long-term preservation and coordinated management of cultural and natural resources in the Grand Canyon and surrounding river corridor, especially in light of how Glen Canyon Dam operations can affect downstream environments and historic properties. Reclamation has formally determined that operating the dam under the 2016 Record of Decision for the Glen Canyon Dam Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan is a federal undertaking that could change the character of historic properties downstream, which triggers compliance responsibilities under laws like the Grand Canyon Protection Act of 1992 and the National Historic Preservation Act.
To meet these legal obligations, Reclamation and multiple partners entered into a Programmatic Agreement that sets out how consultation, identification, evaluation, and treatment of historic properties will occur. Signatories include Reclamation, National Park Service regional offices, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Arizona State Historic Preservation Officer, and several Tribes and Tribal coalitions, including the Hopi Tribe. A central theme of the opportunity is ensuring that Tribal perspectives and cultural values are meaningfully incorporated into decision-making and that government-to-government consultation occurs when federal actions may affect places of cultural, historic, or traditional importance to the Tribe. The funding essentially underwrites the Tribe's capacity to participate as an equal, consistent partner in the adaptive management process rather than treating consultation as an occasional or unfunded obligation.
The main activities funded under the award focus on representation, coordination, consultation, and field-based cultural resource monitoring. The recipient is expected to designate official representatives and alternates to participate in key GCDAMP bodies, particularly the Adaptive Management Work Group (AMWG) and the Technical Work Group (TWG). AMWG generally meets twice per year (commonly in August and February), with additional webinar or conference calls as needed, while TWG meets more frequently, typically five to six times annually, along with related meetings such as the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center annual reporting meeting. The Hopi representatives are expected to review agendas and meeting products, provide Tribal perspectives on materials and recommendations, and help ensure cultural resource considerations are not sidelined in technical or operational discussions.
Beyond attending meetings, the Tribe's role includes acting as a liaison between GCDAMP entities and Hopi leadership and staff, participating in ad hoc or issue-specific groups that intersect with Tribal concerns (such as cultural resources-focused groups), and communicating Tribal perspectives to Department of the Interior agencies and processes dealing with Grand Canyon resources. Another stated expectation is that the recipient will provide updates and recommendations to TWG and AMWG on the status of cultural resources in the canyon, helping shape ongoing management approaches as conditions change and as dam operations and experimental flows affect erosion, site stability, access, and other factors.
A practical and recurring on-the-ground component of the work is annual monitoring of cultural resources in the Grand and Glen Canyons, carried out according to Tribal protocols and often accomplished through yearly river trips. These monitoring efforts are meant to track condition, risk, and change at culturally significant locations and historic properties, providing timely information that can feed back into adaptive management decisions and compliance actions. The grant also covers the basic supplies and equipment needed to carry out participation and monitoring effectively, including items like computers, printers, and field and office supplies, recognizing that sustained participation requires administrative and technical capacity.
In terms of administration and federal involvement, Reclamation indicates it does not anticipate substantial day-to-day involvement in carrying out the work. Its role is described as standard federal stewardship: monitoring performance, providing technical assistance if the recipient requests it, and otherwise fulfilling normal oversight responsibilities without directing the Tribe's internal processes.
