Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "BLM AK Stuart Creek 2 Fire Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation, Interior Alaska" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant focused on emergency stabilization and rehabilitation work following the Stuart Creek 2 Fire in Interior Alaska. The fire started on June 19, 2013, on BLM-managed lands that had been withdrawn for use by the U.S. Army. According to the announcement, both the wildfire itself and the associated fire suppression actions caused damage to natural resources and also created threats to human health and safety. The overall purpose of the award is to support on-the-ground actions that stabilize impacted areas and begin rehabilitation to reduce immediate risks, prevent further degradation, and help the affected landscape recover.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the funding is tied to CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The grant was structured around a single expected award, meaning BLM anticipated selecting one recipient to carry out the scope of work for this specific post-fire stabilization and rehabilitation effort.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $700,000, with an award ceiling of $700,000 and an award floor of $500,000. The announcement stated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The eligible applicant type specified in the notice was "special district governments," indicating that the competition was limited to a particular category of local governmental entities typically formed to provide focused public services within defined boundaries.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted on July 25, 2014, with the same date shown as the creation date. The original and current closing date were both September 22, 2014, and the record shows an archive date of December 31, 2018. Applicants were directed to find the full announcement and application instructions through Grants.gov using Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00265. For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Betty Lockard, Grants Management Officer, at 907-267-1213 and blockard@blm.gov.
Taken together, the notice describes a targeted, time-bound federal assistance action meant to address the immediate aftermath of a specific wildfire event on BLM lands associated with Army use in Interior Alaska, with funding intended to reduce post-fire hazards and begin repairing damage to natural resources and public safety conditions created by the fire and suppression operations.
