Opportunity Summary:
The Blackfoot River Recreation Management Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00003) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Missoula Field Office grant opportunity focused on improving how recreation is administered and cared for along BLM-managed lands and waters within the Blackfoot River Recreation Corridor. The basic idea was to formalize a cooperative working relationship between the BLM and a qualified state agency that already has legal authority to enforce state laws and regulations and that is already familiar with managing river recreation on other portions of the Blackfoot River. Through this partnership, the state agency would help the BLM oversee and administer Special Recreation Permits (SRPs), which are the permits used to authorize certain commercial, organized, or high-impact recreation activities on public lands and waterways.
A central goal of the project was practical, on-the-ground recreation management. In addition to handling SRP-related administration for BLM areas of the corridor, the partner agency would also take part in monitoring recreation use and performing or supporting maintenance at BLM recreation sites and on-river use areas. In other words, the agreement was not just about paperwork or permitting; it was also about tracking how the river corridor is being used, identifying impacts or emerging issues, and keeping key recreation locations functional and maintained. The announcement points out that the proposed partner was already doing these same kinds of tasks elsewhere along the river, which suggests the BLM was seeking continuity, consistent standards, and a proven ability to manage river-based recreation.
This was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management). Only one award was expected. The opportunity projected an estimated total funding amount of $165,000, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of $2,500 to a ceiling of $15,000. There was no cost share or matching requirement, making it a fully federally funded opportunity for the selected recipient. Eligibility was limited to state governments, reflecting the need for a state entity with enforcement authority and an existing operational role along the river.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on November 16, 2012, with an application closing date of December 10, 2012. The announcement was later archived on January 15, 2013. For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement online, the point of contact listed was Lori Anderson at the BLM (phone 406-896-5196, email landerso@blm.gov).
