Garrison Diversion Unit — CFDA 15.518
$619.7M in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for the Garrison Diversion Unit (CFDA 15.518). The listing carries 23 awards, 9 recipients, and a 1-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not Treasury outlays and not a count of acre-feet delivered, canals built, or irrigators served. Twenty-three awards against 9 named organizations in a single state is a place-specific Reclamation file, not a 50-state water-project roster.
Key figures
- CFDA 15.518 shows $619.7M in USAspending obligations for the Garrison Diversion Unit.
- The listing covers 23 awards and 9 recipients.
- Awards are coded to 1 state in the USAspending geographic count.
- Totals are obligations, not outlays or water-delivery counts.
Garrison Diversion obligations at $619.7M
USAspending.gov records $619,651,291.16 in obligations under CFDA 15.518. Twenty-three awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $26.94 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical water-project invoice and not a cost per acre-foot.
The assistance-listing title is GARRISON DIVERSION UNIT. CFDA 15.518 is the identifier. Other Bureau of Reclamation, rural-water, or Interior listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $619.7M. Combining those codes would invent a combined water-infrastructure total this packet does not contain.
9 recipients, 23 awards, and 1 state
Nine recipients share 23 awards, or about 2.6 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $619,651,291.16 evenly would assign about $68.85 million per recipient. That density is a project-authority fingerprint: a handful of named organizations carrying large assistance rows on one unit. The packet does not list the 9. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of irrigators or municipalities.
One state in the geographic count is the entire map on this extract. Garrison Diversion dollars follow that coded geography, not a national water-project share. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.
A one-state file is not an acre-foot census
Among Interior water listings, 15.518 is a low-row, place-specific file: 23 awards against 9 recipients in 1 state. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of water projects” and a worse proxy for acre-feet delivered. Recipients (9) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (23) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report canal miles, reservoir storage, or irrigators. Citing 23 as water users would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states. Twenty-three awards at about $26.94 million each is a single-unit Reclamation book, not a national water formula.
Obligations versus Garrison outlays
The $619.7M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Garrison Diversion Unit awards — are not in the packet. A construction file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a multi-year calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.
Use CFDA 15.518 to size this Garrison Diversion Unit listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Pick-Sloan, rural-water, or general Reclamation dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.518.
What the 15.518 tables omit
The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a water-rights docket, not an irrigator directory, and not a reservoir log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $619,651,291.16. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 23 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 1 state is a coding field. Read the program page before treating that cell as a national water total. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to project authorities.
Garrison Diversion’s 1-state map and 9-recipient headcount together describe a place-specific Reclamation book, not a national water-project formula. A researcher comparing 15.518 with Pick-Sloan or rural-water codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $619.7M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.
