Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR PN 19 N024
The grant opportunity titled "Increasing Law Enforcement Patrols at Oregon AIS Boat Inspection Stations" is a targeted funding effort to strengthen Oregon's defenses against aquatic invasive species (AIS) by expanding law enforcement presence at key boat inspection checkpoints. The focus is on four of the state's five established AIS inspection stations, specifically the locations at Brookings, Ashland, Ontario, and Umatilla, which have been identified as needing additional enforcement coverage. The overall intent is straightforward: more enforcement hours at these stations means more consistent staffing, better compliance with inspection requirements, and a higher likelihood of intercepting contaminated or high-risk boats before invasive species can enter Oregon waterways.
The Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Department is named as the agency that would be contracted to provide this added enforcement. Under the proposed agreement, each of the four priority stations would receive an additional 140 hours per year of enforcement time. Those hours are not meant to be concentrated into a short window; instead, they are planned to be distributed across the peak boating travel season, roughly March through October, when watercraft movement through the region is highest. By aligning the extra staffing with the period of greatest boater traffic, the project aims to maximize deterrence and inspection capacity during the months when the risk of AIS introduction is most pronounced.
This effort builds on a long-running statewide inspection program managed by the Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB). OSMB has operated five boat inspection stations since 2010 with the purpose of intercepting aquatic invasive species and, when necessary, ensuring boats are cleaned or otherwise decontaminated. Oregon law gives OSMB the authority to manage these inspection stations, and OSMB has historically relied on partnerships to staff them, contracting with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife as well as local police and law enforcement agencies. The grant would add resources to that existing structure rather than creating a new program from scratch, essentially increasing the amount of time stations can be staffed and supported by enforcement personnel. The expected result is improved station coverage, more reliable enforcement capability, and a stronger barrier against invasive species entering the state via trailered boats.
From the funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is a federal grant administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. It is listed as an earmark, with the funding activity category identified as environment and the CFDA number noted as 15.517. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, and the opportunity anticipates a single award. The award ceiling is $60,000, reflecting a relatively small, highly specific allocation intended to pay for incremental enforcement time rather than large capital purchases or broad program expansion. The opportunity was created on July 2, 2019, with an original closing date of July 16, 2019, indicating a short application window typical of narrowly scoped, designated funding.
In practical terms, the grant is designed to enhance day-to-day operational capacity at the four named inspection stations by covering additional law enforcement patrol hours. That staffing increase is expected to improve the program's ability to conduct inspections, support compliance, and respond appropriately when high-risk watercraft are identified. The core public benefit is preventative: reducing the chance that aquatic invasive species are introduced into Oregon waters, which helps avoid ecological damage and the long-term economic costs associated with invasive species management, infrastructure impacts, and degraded recreation and fisheries resources.Apply for BOR PN 19 N024
