Opportunity Summary:
The Abandoned Mine Bat Survey and Hazard Mitigation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM AZ NOI 09 1303) was a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on environmental resource management. The purpose of the project was to support work that protects sensitive wildlife habitat, specifically habitat associated with abandoned mine features that may be used by bats and other wildlife, while also reducing or eliminating safety hazards these abandoned mines can pose to the public. In practical terms, the program aimed to balance conservation needs (such as identifying and safeguarding roosting or hibernation sites) with public safety actions (such as securing dangerous openings or stabilizing hazardous areas) so that hazard mitigation does not unintentionally harm wildlife.
The funding instrument for the award was a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency anticipated substantial involvement or coordination during the project rather than a hands-off grant. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $1,250,000, and the listed award ceiling matched that figure ($1,250,000). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was limited to state governments. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which aligns with projects that combine wildlife conservation objectives with broader land and resource management responsibilities. The notice was posted on June 23, 2009, and the application window was relatively short: the original and current closing date was July 9, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on August 8, 2009, indicating it is no longer open for applications.
Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for additional details and full announcement materials. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact was Paul Stout, reachable by email at paulstout@blm.gov.
