Opportunity Summary:
The BLM NV CCDO Compost Your Combustibles Project (Funding Opportunity Number BLM NV NOI 09 1287) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public notice explaining the agency's intent to fund a specific hazardous fuels reduction effort in Douglas County, Nevada, without full and open competition. In other words, it is not a call for new proposals and it is not a traditional open grant competition. Instead, BLM posted it to formally notify the public that it plans to make an award for defined project activities through a cooperative agreement tied to the National Fire Plan and Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Community Fire Assistance program (CFDA 15.228).
The project itself is the "Compost your Combustibles" hazardous fuels reduction program, organized and carried out by the East Fork Fire and Paramedic District (EFFPD). The practical aim is to lower hazardous fuel loading around private homes and properties located in the WUI, particularly in smaller, more isolated communities near and around the Minden and Gardnerville area. These are locations where residential areas directly border or are close to public lands, and where accumulations of flammable vegetation and yard debris can increase the likelihood of wildfire ignition and rapid fire spread. By focusing on fuels reduction around residences, the program supports defensible space, improves community preparedness, and helps reduce risk to life, property, and adjacent public lands.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding, with the intended award mechanism being a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates active federal involvement or coordination during project implementation. The announcement listed an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this notice was associated with a specific, pre-identified effort rather than multiple competitive awards. The estimated total funding amount associated with the announcement was $200,000, while the listed award ceiling was $40,000 and the award floor was $1. The announcement stated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Although the notice is not a request for applications, it still identifies the types of organizations that are generally eligible under the program area, including county governments, state governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Key dates included a posted and creation date of Aug 11, 2009, with an original and current closing date of Aug 29, 2009, and an archive date of Sep 11, 2009. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed grants management contact was Susan Kaller at skaller@blm.gov, and the additional information link pointed to grants.gov.
