Opportunity Summary:

The "2010 Noxious Weed Eradication in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM MT RFA10 1814) is a Bureau of Land Management grant under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on invasive and noxious plant management on public lands across three states: Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The core purpose is straightforward: support on-the-ground eradication efforts aimed at reducing or eliminating noxious weeds that threaten native ecosystems, wildlife habitat, rangeland productivity, watershed health, and the overall ecological condition of BLM-managed and other qualifying public lands in the region.

This is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, which can include coordination on planning, technical input, and oversight to ensure the work aligns with land management priorities and applicable policies. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA program number is 15.230, titled Invasive and Noxious Plant Management. The announcement anticipates making around 15 awards, reflecting an intent to fund multiple projects rather than concentrating the entire budget into a small number of large awards.

Funding for the program is estimated at $200,000 total, with an award ceiling of $75,000 per project. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal match to be eligible, though projects that leverage other resources sometimes tend to be more competitive depending on the evaluation criteria used in the full announcement. Eligibility is limited to state governments, so the intended applicants are state-level agencies or entities authorized to apply on behalf of a state, likely those with responsibilities related to agriculture, natural resources, weed management, or land stewardship.

Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on December 8, 2009, with an initial closing date of January 18, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of March 1, 2010. The record indicates a creation date of February 4, 2010, and an archive date of April 1, 2010, which typically means the opportunity is no longer active after that point. Applicants were directed to find the full announcement and application package through Grants.gov, which is the standard federal portal for competitive discretionary grants and includes the official requirements, submission instructions, and any mandatory forms.

For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Lori J. Anderson, Grants Management Officer, reachable by email at landerso@blm.gov. Additional information is referenced through Grants.gov, which would have contained the full scope, application content requirements, and any special conditions tied to weed eradication activities on public lands in the three-state area.
