Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CO Americas Great Outdoors Yampa River Valley Legacy Project (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00284) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support natural resource work along the Yampa River in Colorado. The project focus was on on-the-ground restoration of riparian habitat, river channel conditions, and streambank areas, paired with improvements that enhance public access to the Yampa River in locations adjacent to BLM-managed lands. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at protecting and improving the health and stability of the river corridor while also making it easier and safer for the public to reach and use the river where appropriate.
The program fell under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, signaling that the work was expected to blend resource stewardship with recreation and access goals. The BLM anticipated making a single award, which suggests the funding was intended for a specific project scope in a defined area rather than being spread across multiple unrelated applicants. The eligible applicant pool was limited to city or township governments, indicating a strong emphasis on local government leadership and implementation, likely in coordination with federal land managers given the cooperative agreement structure.
Funding for the opportunity was up to an estimated total of $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and an award floor of $37,500. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowered the financial barrier for eligible local governments and allowed proposals to be evaluated without requiring local match dollars as a condition of eligibility. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, recipients should have expected substantial involvement by the BLM during project execution, such as coordination on technical approaches, compliance considerations, access planning, and alignment with BLM management objectives along adjacent public lands.
The timeline for this announcement was very short. It was posted and created on August 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2012, and it was later archived on October 15, 2012. That short application window implies the opportunity may have been tied to a specific readiness-to-implement project, seasonal field constraints, or a time-sensitive funding allocation.
Applicants needing the complete instructions were directed to the announcement materials available via the application resources, with technical access help available through the listed grants management contact, Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, at ypier@blm.gov.
