Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA San Juan Co Hazardous Fuels Reduction grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00285) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, focused on natural resources work tied to wildfire readiness and risk reduction in San Juan County. The core purpose is to carry out specific action items already identified in the San Juan County Wildfire Protection Plan, with an emphasis on practical, on-the-ground steps that improve community protection in fire-prone areas, particularly where development meets wildland vegetation.
The project activities described center on three main themes: improving address signage, expanding education and outreach, and completing hazardous fuels mitigation work. Address signage improvements typically support faster, safer emergency response by making properties and access points easier to locate during an incident. Education components generally aim to build local understanding of wildfire risk and promote homeowner and community actions that reduce vulnerability, such as defensible space practices and preparedness planning. Hazardous fuels mitigation refers to work that lowers the intensity and spread potential of wildfire by reducing or rearranging flammable vegetation and other fuels, often in areas prioritized by the county wildfire protection plan.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the Bureau of Land Management likely anticipates substantial involvement or coordination during the project rather than a hands-off pass-through award. The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $40,000 and an award floor of $1. The announcement anticipates making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which can make it more accessible for applicants that do not have funds available for a match.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility notes that may appear in the full announcement materials. The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.228, under the National Fire Plan, specifically the Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance focus area, which aligns with reducing fire risk in and around communities where wildfire can threaten homes, infrastructure, and public safety.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 28, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2012.
