2006
The purpose of this award is for the grantee to implement rangeland conservation interventions that would bring back rangeland damaged by invasive species. Some of these interventions include but are not limited to: invasive species control, reseeding, and livestock exclusion.The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe will improve forage quality and quantity on Tribal lands through a verified course of action. The Tribe will also document project costs and perform a cost-benefit analysis to complete a review of these results regarding land reclamation and rejuvenation. The Tribe will: remove invasive species as needed; fence, prepare and plant sites; and exclude all domestic livestock.

The Arkansas Natural Resource Commission will utilize, enhance, and expand the use of existing widely adopted technology from application on the individual field-scale to the watershed-scale. The Arkansas Natural Resource Commission will specifically address the impacts of on-farm conservation irrigation practices and their impacts on sediment transport to surface water; irrigation management for Water conservation; and maintenance of groundwater supplies through increased surface water utilization, off-stream storage and tail water capture and reuse strategies. This project will complete a benchmark inventory of the individual farmers irrigation water and Energy uses and determine the potential for increased on farm irrigation storage, tail water capture and re-use and the resulting Energy savings on approximately 500 farms within the watersheds. The unique focus of this activity is to develop a watershed evaluation tool that is applicable in the humid, rain-fed portion of the U.S. to evaluate irrigation water needs, runoff, off stream storage of off season rainfall, and tail water capture to meet irrigation needs and assess Energy savings potential on a watershed basis.

Arctic Grayling Recovery Program

2006
The purpose of this grant is to establish a bank of willows for use in restoration projects throughout the upper Big Hole Watershed in direct support of the Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA) for fluvial Arctic grayling. The project area sits well above 6000 feet in elevation, and has a very short growing season with only 18-25 frost-free days per year. The dominant riparian vegetation in the upper Big Hole is willow – there are virtually no cottonwoods and very little aspen. This project will support harvesting willow clippings from the upper watershed each spring, transporting them to the state nursery operated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, and grow them in a greenhouse where they can mature faster and develop a deep-binding rootmass in a short period of time. The following year, these plants which are native the Big Hole will be returned to the valley and incorporated into riparian revegetation and stream restoration projects. This revegetation methodology is very inexpensive per plant as compared to purchasing new plants, and has a very high survival rate (approaching 98%) by using plants native to the area. Thus, this grant will support the establishment of a “willow bank” of native plants for use in Big Hole restoration projects.

2006
This project will address irrigation technology such as drip irrigation, irrigation water management (flow rate and scheduling) to reduce runoff, deep percolation, and leaching of salts and nitrate, and nitrogen (N) fertilizer application rate, application method e.g., injection through drip, and application timing to optimize nitrogen use efficiency and minimize leaching of nitrate-N into the groundwater.
