Opportunity Summary:
The 2014 to 2019 Noxious Weed Spraying Project in Chaffee County, Colorado (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00181) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The purpose of the opportunity is to prevent, contain, and control the spread of noxious weeds across both public and private lands in Chaffee County. In practice, the project is centered on noxious weed treatment activities, with an emphasis on protecting natural resources and limiting the expansion of invasive and noxious plant species. The assistance listing associated with this program is CFDA 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management, which signals that the work is part of broader federal efforts to manage invasive plant impacts on landscapes and habitat.
The funding available for this opportunity is up to a total of $95,000, with an award ceiling of $95,000 and an award floor of $23,750. BLM anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, recipients should expect substantial federal involvement during the project period, such as coordination on work planning, implementation approach, reporting, and ensuring treatments align with applicable land management priorities and compliance expectations.
Eligibility is limited to county governments, which aligns with the local nature of noxious weed management and the role counties often play in coordinating weed control programs, landowner outreach, and treatment scheduling. The timeline shows the opportunity was posted on June 26, 2014, with an original closing date of July 10, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of August 15, 2014. The archive date is September 30, 2014, indicating when the opportunity was formally closed out in the posting system. The full announcement and application instructions were provided through an application download link in the original posting, and the grant management point of contact listed for access issues was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, reachable at ypier@blm.gov.
