Opportunity Summary:

The BLM OR WA Eugene LiDAR funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00091) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The project centers on acquiring LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data in the Eugene, Oregon area to support better land and resource management decisions across a wide range of stakeholders, including public agencies, partner organizations, and landowners. By producing high-quality elevation and surface information, the effort is intended to strengthen planning and on-the-ground actions that reduce or prevent degradation of public resources.

The main purpose of collecting this LiDAR data is to create a dependable, shared dataset that can be used to develop and refine management plans. The announcement highlights practical applications in silviculture and watershed restoration, meaning the data can help evaluate forest management treatments and assess how restoration projects affect terrain, drainage patterns, stream channels, slope stability, and related watershed conditions. In addition, the dataset is expected to help agencies and partners better understand and plan for natural hazard risks, specifically referencing earthquakes and floods. In real terms, LiDAR-derived products such as high-resolution digital elevation models can improve floodplain mapping, landslide susceptibility analysis, and other types of risk assessment that depend on accurate topographic detail.

In terms of funding, the opportunity anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. The listed award ceiling is $1,011,552, and the award floor is not specified. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility is limited to state governments, indicating the BLM intended to route this cooperative effort through a state-level entity that could coordinate data acquisition and distribution with other users.

The opportunity was posted on August 7, 2013, with an application closing date of August 28, 2013, and an archive date of August 7, 2014. The announcement also points applicants to download full instructions and the application package via the opportunity posting, and it provides a grants management point of contact: Sheryl Dowley, Grants Management Specialist, at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov. Overall, the grant is structured to fund the collection of LiDAR data that can be broadly reused for resource protection, restoration evaluation, and hazard-informed planning across the Eugene region.
