Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA Douglas County Noxious Weed Control, Oregon opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00193) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, which typically means the BLM expects to have an active role in the project alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The purpose of the award is straightforward: support noxious weed control work within the jurisdictional boundaries of the Douglas Soil and Water Conservation District (Douglas SWCD) in Douglas County, Oregon, with the broader goal of improving the long-term health of both public and private lands.
At its core, the project is aimed at reducing or preventing the spread of invasive and noxious weeds that can damage rangelands, wildlife habitat, watersheds, recreation areas, and working lands. By targeting weed infestations across a mix of ownerships, the project emphasizes landscape-scale outcomes. The underlying intent is long-term resource protection, since unmanaged noxious weeds can outcompete native vegetation, alter fire regimes, degrade forage, and increase management costs over time. The announcement frames the benefit as applying to both public and private lands, signaling that coordinated, cross-boundary treatment is a central theme.
Funding for the opportunity is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.234, Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination. The total estimated funding amount listed for the opportunity is $400,000, with an award ceiling of $75,840 and an award floor of $1. The opportunity anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving funding.
Eligibility is limited to special district governments, which aligns with the Douglas Soil and Water Conservation District model and similar local conservation districts that operate as special-purpose governmental units. The opportunity was posted on August 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 9, 2013, and an archive date of August 8, 2014, indicating it is no longer open for applications and is provided primarily for historical reference or recordkeeping.
For applicants (at the time the opportunity was open), the full instructions and the application package were available through the announcement’s application materials. The listed point of contact for access issues or administrative questions was Jessica Clark, Grants Management Specialist at BLM, reachable at 503-808-6226 or j1clark@blm.gov.
