Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Nevada Noxious and Invasive Weed Treatment, Inventory and Monitoring Project (Ely District) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). Issued under Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00006, the program is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to be actively involved with the recipient during planning, implementation, and oversight rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.230.
The purpose of the opportunity is to continue an existing partnership between the BLM and Lincoln County focused on addressing noxious and invasive weeds on public lands managed by the BLM Ely District Office in Nevada. The core emphasis is practical, on-the-ground weed management carried out in coordination with multiple stakeholders. Specifically, the project supports coordination among state and local governments, including White Pine and Nye Counties, and engagement with private landowners, reflecting a landscape-level approach where weed issues frequently cross jurisdictional boundaries and require consistent strategies to prevent re-infestation.
The funded activities center on three connected work areas: inventory, treatment, and effectiveness monitoring. Inventory refers to surveying and documenting the presence, distribution, and extent of noxious and invasive weed populations, which is essential for setting priorities and targeting resources. Treatment includes implementing control measures to reduce or eliminate infestations, often involving integrated weed management approaches tailored to site conditions and species. Effectiveness monitoring involves tracking results after treatment to determine what worked, what did not, and where follow-up actions are needed, helping ensure accountability for public funds and improving future management decisions.
Eligibility is limited to county governments and special district governments, positioning local governmental entities as the primary applicants and implementers. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $500,000, indicating a sizable, concentrated investment intended to support a coordinated district-wide effort rather than multiple smaller projects. The posting and creation dates are both December 10, 2015, and the application deadline is February 8, 2016 (with the original and current closing dates matching), which signals a fixed, short application window typical of many federal notices.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to sustain and strengthen a multi-county, multi-partner weed management program on BLM-administered lands in the Ely District, pairing local coordination capacity with BLM collaboration to improve mapping, control efforts, and measurable outcomes through monitoring.
