Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Lacks Creek Watershed Restoration Arcata FO (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00001) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to continue an existing watershed restoration project in the Lacks Creek area. The central purpose is to carry out on-the-ground restoration work that lowers long-term sediment delivery into the stream network while also completing in-stream habitat improvements that directly support fish and other aquatic species. The work is grounded in a locally recognized need identified by the Redwood Creek Watershed Group, which brings together agency staff and watershed residents who have observed sediment and habitat issues and have prioritized treatments to address them.
The project focus is twofold: first, reducing chronic sediment sources that degrade streams over time, and second, restoring in-stream conditions to improve aquatic habitat quality. In practical terms, this kind of watershed restoration commonly involves activities such as improving or reworking problem road segments and drainage features that contribute sediment, stabilizing eroding slopes or streambanks, and addressing legacy impacts that continue to send fine sediment into channels during storms. Complementing those sediment-reduction actions, in-stream restoration typically targets habitat functions important to fish, such as pool formation, cover, spawning gravels, and channel complexity, with the overall intention of improving conditions for fisheries populations and broader aquatic ecosystem health.
A notable co-benefit emphasized in the announcement is improved and safer travel on upgraded road infrastructure that is more environmentally benign. By reducing erosion and sediment runoff associated with roads, neighboring landowners and public visitors can expect more reliable access while also decreasing the environmental footprint of travel corridors within or adjacent to the watershed. The opportunity therefore ties resource conservation outcomes (cleaner water and better habitat) to practical land-use benefits (safer, more sustainable road conditions).
Funding for this opportunity is expected to result in a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $500,000, indicating the intent to fund one project at that level. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of the award, though voluntary contributions or partner support may still be relevant in cooperative watershed work.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The opportunity was posted on October 28, 2013, with a closing date of November 29, 2013, and it was later archived on October 1, 2018. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov, and applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement were directed to contact Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, at 530-252-5338 or lparker@blm.gov.
