Opportunity Summary:
The BLM NV Smith Valley Hazardous Fuels Reduction Program (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00277) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement to support hazardous fuels reduction work in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) of Lyon County, Nevada. The core purpose was to strengthen wildland fire protection and improve defensible space in areas served by the Smith Valley Fire Protection District, particularly where communities and developed areas meet or border public lands. By focusing on removing vegetative biomass (for example, excess brush and other flammable vegetation), the project aimed to lower the likelihood that a wildfire could start, spread quickly, or become severe in the interface zones adjacent to BLM-managed lands.
The opportunity was framed within the National Fire Plan, specifically under CFDA 15.228 (Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance). The stated public benefit was twofold: first, reducing hazardous fuels would make surrounding public lands less prone to catastrophic wildfire; second, if a wildfire did occur, the improved fuel conditions would increase firefighter safety by creating more manageable fire behavior and better access or operating conditions during suppression. In other words, the grant emphasized both prevention/mitigation (reducing available fuels) and response readiness (safer, more effective suppression in treated areas).
Financially, the program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $175,000. The award ceiling was $175,000 and the award floor was $35,000, indicating the agency was willing to consider proposals of varying sizes within that range, up to the total available funding. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically lowers barriers for applicants by allowing the federal funding to cover the full approved project cost, subject to the terms of the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility was listed as “unrestricted,†meaning the opportunity was open to any type of applicant entity (as long as it met any conditions described in the full announcement). The posting and creation date were August 13, 2010, and the closing date was August 20, 2010, with the opportunity later archived on September 20, 2010. The full announcement was accessible through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access or application issues was Susan Kaller, Grants Management Specialist, at 775-861-6559 and susankaller@blm.gov.
