Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM Oregon/Washington for BLM California Interlakes Stewardship Project, Redding Field Office" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) notice describing the agency's intent to fund a specific stewardship effort tied to public land management in Northern California. It is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior and is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial involvement by BLM staff in coordination with the recipient rather than functioning as a hands-off grant.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that BLM intends to make an award without full and open competition. In practical terms, that means the agency already has a specific partner and scope in mind and is publishing this posting to document the intent to proceed in a non-competitive manner. The project partner identified in the description is the Western Shasta Resource Conservation District, a special district within the State of California, which will assist BLM with both planning and on-the-ground implementation of resource management work.
The focus area for the work is the Chappie Shasta Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) Management Area under the BLM Redding Field Office, within the broader BLM California Interlakes program context. The stewardship activities are aimed at meeting established resource management plan goals. Two major outcomes are emphasized: first, maintaining and improving healthy conditions in the Upper Clear Creek watershed, and second, managing for recreation opportunities within the OHV area. Read together, the project is designed to balance watershed and ecosystem health objectives with sustained, organized off-highway vehicle recreation by planning and implementing management actions that support both resource protection and appropriate recreational use.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number "BLM OR NOI 09 1123" and falls under the natural resources activity category, specifically associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.233, "Forests and Woodlands Resource Management." The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is a targeted, partner-specific action rather than a broad, competitive funding round. The estimated total funding is $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $1. No cost sharing or matching is required, which indicates the federal funds were intended to cover the project costs up to the award limit without requiring the recipient to provide a non-federal match.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though eligibility language is included, the core purpose of the notice is still to announce BLM's intent to fund the identified work without full competition, rather than to solicit new proposals. The posting and creation date are both September 20, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 22, 2009, and an archive date of October 22, 2009, indicating a short public notice window typical of non-competitive intent postings rather than a conventional application period.
For anyone seeking the official posting details, the announcement references Grants.gov as the source for the full notice, and provides a contact for access issues: Pamella M. Sterling at psterlin@blm.gov.
