Opportunity Summary:
The BLM NV Ely SNPLMA White Pine County Wilderness Restoration and Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00021) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Ely District Office grant, offered as a cooperative agreement, focused on natural resource conservation work tied to the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA). The project was part of Round 10 SNPLMA Conservation Initiatives and was designed to bring in the Great Basin Institute to strengthen BLM capacity on the ground by helping professional staff gather and organize the information needed to make well-supported management decisions for wilderness areas in eastern Nevada, specifically within White Pine County.
A central purpose of the project was legal and administrative compliance with the Pam White Wilderness Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-432). That law designated eight wilderness areas in the region, and the BLM has a legal requirement to maintain written legal descriptions and official legal maps for each designated wilderness area. This grant opportunity supported the work needed to produce or finalize those descriptions and maps so the Ely District could meet statutory requirements and improve the clarity and defensibility of wilderness boundaries and related management decisions.
Beyond the mapping and legal description deliverables, the opportunity also emphasized practical wilderness implementation and restoration. It targeted on-the-ground restoration activities associated with illegal routes (for example, unauthorized vehicle tracks or user-created routes) by supporting efforts to restore impacted areas and reduce future damage. In addition, the project aimed to advance the development of wilderness management plans, which are the guiding documents used to translate wilderness designation into day-to-day management actions such as visitor use direction, resource protection measures, monitoring, and field operations priorities.
In terms of funding and eligibility, the announcement anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $210,000, which also served as the award ceiling. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The CFDA program number associated with the funding was 15.235, Southern Nevada Public Land Management.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted April 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 21, 2010, and an archive date of April 9, 2011. The listed point of contact for access or application issues was Tanya E. Arnberger, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at 775-753-0379 and by email at tarnberg@blm.gov.
