Program details & compliance
Use of Funds
Allowed Uses
Cost share agreements are used to provide assistance to non-Federal managing partners, who currently manage or will be managing one or more Reclamation project recreation areas, for the long-term management and care of publicly-owned recreation resources, and for the planning, construction and other facets of improving recreation access and assets. Concession contracts are not authorized by the above authorities.
Required Documentation
Pub. L. 89-72, as amended, requires that prospective non-Federal managing partners that will be entering into long-term agreements for management of Reclamation project recreation areas indicate their intent in writing to administer Reclamation project recreation areas and enter into such long-term agreements for management of recreation and fish and wildlife facilities. Management agreements must be current for existing partners.
Matching Requirements
In the case of recreation development, a minimum cost share of 50 percent is required from a non-Federal partner. For fish and wildlife enhancement projects, the Federal share is exactly 75 percent of the project cost. (16 U.S.C. 460l-13(a)).
