Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Douglas Creek Riparian Restoration and Monitoring, Spokane District, Washington" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00148). The project focus is natural resources work tied to fish, wildlife, and plant conservation resource management (CFDA 15.231). The underlying purpose is to improve riparian function along Douglas Creek by addressing multiple stresses affecting the creek corridor, while also measuring and documenting how the creek responds to restoration actions amid other ongoing pressures in the system. In practical terms, the opportunity combines two connected components: an initial riparian stabilization effort and continued water quality monitoring to track conditions and outcomes over time.
The grant is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a higher level of federal involvement during the project compared with a standard grant. BLM expected to make one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. The award ceiling is $60,000 and the award floor is listed as $1, meaning proposals could request up to the full amount available, but the maximum award anticipated would not exceed $60,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, so eligible entities are not required to provide non-federal match funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility for this specific opportunity is limited to special district governments. The project is associated with the Spokane District in Washington, and it is aimed at supporting ongoing work that strengthens riparian stability and improves or protects water quality in Douglas Creek. The monitoring aspect is emphasized as a way to assess the effectiveness of stabilization actions and to interpret results in the broader context of other stressors affecting the watershed or stream system.
The opportunity was posted on June 29, 2011, with an application closing date of July 15, 2011 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The archive date is June 29, 2012, indicating when the listing was scheduled to be removed from active public display. For applicants needing full details, the announcement directs users to download complete instructions and the application package from the "Application" section of the posting. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact is Teresa Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 503-808-6243 or by email at tespicke@blm.gov.
