Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Modoc County Weed Management Area - Surprise Field Office grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00005) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding program focused on invasive and noxious plant management in and around northeastern California and nearby Nevada. The project centers on coordinated weed prevention and control efforts in Modoc County and Lassen County, California, and Washoe County, Nevada, where noxious weeds can spread quickly across property lines and jurisdictions. Because these infestations do not respect ownership boundaries, the opportunity is designed to support a cooperative, cross-boundary approach that reduces environmental damage on public and private lands while also lowering long-term management costs for both BLM and neighboring landowners.
The primary purpose of the award is to fund work led by the Modoc County Department of Agriculture (MCDA) in partnership with the BLM Surprise Field Office to inventory, document, and control noxious weeds on public lands administered by the Surprise Field Office. A key reason for selecting the county as the partner is practical access: the county has authority to enter certain private lands that BLM cannot, which makes it easier to treat infestations comprehensively and prevent reinfestation from untreated adjacent parcels. The overall strategy emphasizes prevention, containment, and control, recognizing that early detection and rapid response, combined with consistent treatment across land boundaries, is more effective than isolated, piecemeal efforts.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, indicating that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The activity falls under the Natural Resources funding category and is associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management. The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The award ceiling is $200,000 and the award floor is $500, and there is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation more feasible for eligible local government applicants.
Eligibility is limited to county governments, aligning with the operational role counties often play in noxious weed programs, including enforcement, landowner coordination, and on-the-ground treatment capacity. The original posting date was November 25, 2013, with an application closing date of December 30, 2013, and the opportunity was later archived on December 1, 2018. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov. For assistance accessing the announcement or related questions, the listed point of contact is Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 or lparker@blm.gov.
