Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Polk County Dumpstoppers opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00163) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on natural resource protection work in Polk County. The central goal is straightforward and practical: identify, clean up, and remove illegal dump sites, while also educating the public about how illegal dumping harms the environment. In other words, the project combines on-the-ground cleanup actions with outreach and education meant to reduce future dumping by increasing community awareness of the environmental and public impacts.
This funding was issued under CFDA 15.234, Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination, which commonly supports projects that improve conditions on or near federal lands and strengthen local community outcomes tied to natural resource stewardship. The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000 available for the program. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between a minimum (award floor) of $1 and a maximum (award ceiling) of $31,639. The listing indicates there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility, which can make participation more feasible for local government applicants.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to county governments, indicating the program was structured specifically for local government leadership and implementation. The use of a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant) also signals that BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination, technical input, review of deliverables, or collaboration on implementation details. The intended work includes both physical cleanup and removal of dumped materials and an education component aimed at preventing recurrence, which could include public information campaigns, signage, community events, partnerships, or other local outreach strategies consistent with the project purpose.
The opportunity was posted on June 20, 2014, created June 19, 2014, and had an application closing date of July 21, 2014 (both original and current closing dates match). It was later archived on June 19, 2015. Applicants were directed to use the announcement's application materials (referenced via an "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting) for full instructions and required forms. For assistance accessing the announcement electronically, the contact listed was Jessica Clark at BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov).
