Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Fuels Reduction and Fire Dependent Ecosystem Restoration, Eugene, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00210) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement. It is designed to support work in the natural resources category and focuses on planning and implementation steps tied to reducing hazardous fuels and restoring fire-dependent ecosystems in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) around Eugene, Oregon. The project area is connected to the proposed Valley Fringe WUI Project, and the work is intended to align with local wildfire planning priorities as laid out in the Lane County Community Wildland Fire Protection Plan.
At its core, this opportunity funds a partnership between BLM and the selected recipient to complete an Environmental Analysis for the Valley Fringe WUI Project. That Environmental Analysis is essentially the NEPA-driven planning foundation needed before on-the-ground treatments can proceed. The announcement makes clear that the partnership is not just about producing paperwork; it is meant to move from analysis into restoration-oriented action. After or alongside the Environmental Assessment (and any other relevant NEPA documents), the project anticipates implementing fuels reduction and fire restoration treatments within the WUI boundary as defined by Lane County's Community Wildland Fire Protection Plan. In practice, this typically means work that helps reduce wildfire intensity and improve defensible space and landscape resilience, while also encouraging ecological conditions that depend on periodic fire or fire-like effects.
Funding is limited and focused. BLM expected to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000. The award ceiling is also $75,000, meaning the maximum award equals the total amount available, and the award floor is listed as $1. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have available matching funds. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.228 under the National Fire Plan, specifically the Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance area, which signals that the project fits into broader federal efforts to reduce WUI wildfire risk and support community-focused fire preparedness and mitigation.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity unless the full announcement includes additional limits or clarifications in the section called "Additional Information on Eligibility." Applicants would have needed to consult the full application package to confirm any practical constraints, required qualifications, or partnership expectations that are typical of cooperative agreements, where substantial involvement by the federal agency is anticipated during the project.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted on August 5, 2011, and had an original and final closing date of August 26, 2011. It was archived on August 5, 2012. While the window was short, that is not unusual for targeted cooperative agreements tied to specific project planning needs or time-sensitive field seasons. The single-award structure also suggests BLM likely intended to select a partner positioned to move quickly on NEPA analysis support and coordinate closely with BLM staff and local WUI priorities.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the announcement at the time, the listed contact was Teresa E. Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 503-808-6243 or teresaespickerman@blm.gov. The announcement also referenced downloading full instructions and the application package via the "Application" tab, implying that details such as project deliverables, reporting, schedule, and any required qualifications were contained in the full posted notice.
