Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA South Fork Crab Creek Riparian Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00198) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support restoration work in the Upper Crab Creek Watershed, specifically focused on the South Fork of Crab Creek in the Spokane District area of Washington. The effort is framed as a continuation of an established, collaborative watershed initiative involving private landowners, nonprofit partners, and other federal and state agencies. The core purpose is to enhance wetland and riparian ecosystems that provide habitat for fish and wildlife and also support public recreation values tied to healthy waterways and floodplains.
Projects supported under this opportunity center on practical, on-the-ground restoration and the technical work needed to plan and evaluate that restoration. Eligible project types include riparian and wetland habitat restoration actions, flood detention improvements intended to slow and store high flows, and water quality improvement measures that typically reduce sediment, nutrients, or other pollutants entering the stream and connected wetlands. The notice also highlights planning and assessment activities such as topographic surveys used to delineate wetland boundaries and conditions, evaluations of additional restoration needs across the watershed, and groundwater monitoring to better understand hydrologic function and how restoration actions may be influencing baseflows, wetland water levels, or seasonal water availability. Taken together, the project scope reflects a watershed-based approach that mixes implementation with monitoring and assessment so that restoration can be targeted, measured, and improved over time.
From an applicant and funding standpoint, the opportunity was open to unrestricted applicants (meaning it was broadly available to many entity types, subject to any further eligibility notes in the full announcement). The program falls under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The solicitation anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding level of $200,000 across the opportunity, while listing an award ceiling of $37,000 and an award floor of $1. Cost sharing or matching was not required, which generally lowers barriers to participation for smaller organizations or partnerships that may not have non-federal match readily available.
Key dates for the original posting show it was published on August 14, 2013, with an application deadline of September 4, 2013, and an archive date of August 13, 2014. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement and application package via the opportunitys application tab, and the listed grants management contact for access issues was Sheryl Dowley, Grants Management Specialist, at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov. Overall, the grant was designed to keep momentum going on a multi-partner restoration strategy in the Crab Creek Watershed by funding both restoration implementation and the surveying, assessment, and monitoring work that supports effective long-term riparian and wetland recovery.
