Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Siskiyou County Weed Management Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00004) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement aimed at supporting coordinated invasive and noxious weed management in Modoc County and northern Siskiyou County, California, within the BLM Alturas Field Office area of responsibility. The core idea behind the program is that noxious weeds do not respect property boundaries, so effective prevention, containment, and control requires neighboring landowners and public agencies to work together rather than treating infestations in isolation. By building on prior collaboration between the Siskiyou County Department of Agriculture (SCDA) and the BLM, the opportunity is designed to reduce the ecological and economic damage caused by invasive plants across both public and adjacent private lands, while also lowering long-term management costs for BLM and local landowners.
Under this opportunity, Siskiyou County would take on practical, on-the-ground work such as inventorying infestations, documenting weed locations and conditions, and carrying out control actions for noxious weeds on public lands administered by the BLM Alturas Field Office. A key reason the county is a central partner is its ability to work across a mixed ownership landscape, including access to certain private lands that BLM staff may not be able to enter. That access helps close treatment gaps and reduces the chance that untreated infestations on private parcels will quickly reinvade treated public lands, which is a common challenge in invasive plant management. The expected outcome is a more continuous, landscape-scale approach that improves containment or eradication potential and protects rangelands, wildlife habitat, watershed function, recreation areas, and other natural resources that can be degraded by invasive plant spread.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, using a cooperative agreement instrument, and falls under the natural resources activity category. It is tied to CFDA 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, and both the award ceiling and expected maximum are listed at $200,000, with an award floor of $500. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. Eligibility is limited to county governments, which aligns with the role described for SCDA and similar county-level entities that can coordinate with landowners and implement countywide weed management activities.
Important dates in the original posting show it was posted on November 25, 2013, with a closing date of December 30, 2013, and it was later archived on December 1, 2018. The full announcement and related materials were made available through Grants.gov. For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed contact was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 530-252-5338 and by email at lparker@blm.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the BLM CA Siskiyou County Weed Management Area grant opportunity?
It is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity for a cooperative agreement focused on coordinated invasive and noxious weed management in Modoc County and northern Siskiyou County, California, within the BLM Alturas Field Office area of responsibility.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number for this grant?
The Funding Opportunity Number is L14AS00004.
What problem is this opportunity intended to address?
The opportunity is designed to reduce ecological and economic damage caused by invasive and noxious weeds across public lands and adjacent private lands by supporting coordinated prevention, containment, and control efforts that do not stop at property boundaries.
Why does the program emphasize coordination across property boundaries?
The announcement highlights that noxious weeds do not respect property lines. Treating infestations in isolation can leave untreated sources nearby that quickly reinvade treated areas, increasing long-term costs and reducing effectiveness.
Where would the funded work take place?
Work would occur in Modoc County and northern Siskiyou County, California, in the BLM Alturas Field Office area of responsibility, including BLM-administered public lands and, as needed for coordination, certain adjacent private lands where access is available through county-level relationships.
What types of activities are expected under this cooperative agreement?
Expected on-the-ground activities include inventorying weed infestations, documenting weed locations and conditions, and conducting noxious weed control actions on public lands administered by the BLM Alturas Field Office.
Why is the county government positioned as a key partner for this work?
The opportunity explains that a county partner can operate across a mixed-ownership landscape and may have access to certain private lands that BLM staff may not be able to enter. This helps reduce treatment gaps and limits reinvasion from untreated private parcels onto treated public lands.
What outcomes is the program aiming for?
The program aims to support a continuous, landscape-scale approach that improves containment or eradication potential and protects rangelands, wildlife habitat, watershed function, recreation areas, and other natural resources impacted by invasive plant spread, while lowering long-term management costs for BLM and local landowners.
