Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Upper Rickreall Large Woody Debris Placement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00244) is a small Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The project is centered on the Upper Rickreall Watershed in western Oregon and focuses on hands-on aquatic habitat restoration by improving how Rickreall Creek functions as a stream system.
The core purpose is to build a partnership that brings together individuals, organizations, and community volunteers to carry out restoration work. The main on-the-ground action described is the installation of roughly 60 large woody debris (LWD) log structures in Rickreall Creek. These structures are intended to increase channel complexity, which in practical terms means creating more diverse flow patterns, pools, cover, and habitat features. By adding this complexity, the creek is better able to trap and sort migrating sediments and reconnect with its floodplain more often and more effectively, both of which are key processes in healthy stream and riparian systems.
The ecological outcomes emphasized in the announcement are improved summer and winter rearing habitat for all life stages of native cutthroat trout and anadromous coho salmon. The work is framed as habitat restoration that supports fish populations by creating better refuge, feeding areas, and seasonal habitat conditions that are often lost when streams become overly simplified or disconnected from their floodplains.
Beyond fish habitat, the opportunity highlights a longer-term water resource benefit: increased water retention in the streambed and banks of Rickreall Creek. Over time, this type of restoration can help improve hyporheic exchange and floodplain storage, which can moderate flows, support baseflow, and potentially improve municipal water availability. The notice explicitly links this co-benefit to consistency with the direction of the Clean Water Act, signaling that the project is aligned with broader water quality and watershed health goals.
Funding for the opportunity is limited, with an estimated total program funding amount of $5,000 and one expected award. The award ceiling is $5,000 and the award floor is $1, meaning proposals could technically request smaller amounts but the overall size of the program is modest. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowers the barrier for applicants who may not have additional cash match available, although partnerships and volunteer participation are clearly encouraged as part of the project approach.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any further clarifications that may appear in the full announcement materials available through Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted on August 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2012, and an archive date of August 16, 2013, indicating it is a historical posting rather than an active funding round today.
Applicants were directed to retrieve the complete instructions and application package through Grants.gov using the APPLICATION tab for the opportunity. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Sheryl Dowley, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov.
