Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Lemhi County Cooperative Weed Management grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI 09 0972) was a U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding opportunity focused on invasive and noxious plant control in Lemhi County, Idaho. The project purpose was to treat noxious and invasive weeds along road corridors that were affected by road improvement activities carried out under Lemhi TMDL deferred maintenance work. In practical terms, the funding was aimed at preventing or reducing weed establishment and spread that can follow ground-disturbing maintenance and construction, especially along transportation routes where weeds often gain a foothold and then disperse into adjacent lands.
The funding instrument was a Cooperative Agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, reflecting that the work was intended to be performed in close coordination with BLM rather than as a simple purchase of services. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000. The award ceiling and floor were both $75,000, indicating the BLM expected to fund one project at that fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient was not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to county governments, and the notice specified it was intended to be awarded to the Lemhi County Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA), the local entity responsible for coordinating weed management efforts in Lemhi County. The relevant CFDA program number was 15.230 (Invasive and Noxious Plant Management), which aligns with the invasive species management focus of the work. The posting and creation date were May 5, 2009, with an original and current closing date of May 15, 2009, and an archive date of June 14, 2009, showing it was a short open period and is now closed.
