Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity focused on reducing illegal dumping and related vandalism in Clackamas County, Oregon. The problem described in the announcement is that illegal dumpsites have increased over time and have damaged both public and private lands. The impacts have become serious enough that some recreation areas in the county have already been closed, and additional closures were being considered. Through this grant, BLM sought a partner that could help deter future dumping, clean up existing dumpsites, and support enforcement actions intended to stop repeat offenses and protect public access to recreation sites.
The core purpose of the project was a combined approach that blends on-the-ground cleanup with prevention and accountability. BLM specifically highlighted interest in activities such as identifying and tracking illegal dumpers and vandals, providing assistance that supports the prosecution of offenders, and physically cleaning up dumpsites. While the title references public education, the description emphasizes practical deterrence and enforcement support alongside cleanup, suggesting a project design that pairs community outreach and visibility with direct action to remove waste and discourage future violations.
This opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00152 and was categorized under Natural Resources, with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than acting solely as a pass-through funder. The total estimated funding for the opportunity was $60,000, with an anticipated single award. The award ceiling was listed as $40,000 and the award floor as $1, meaning proposals could vary in size but could not exceed the maximum amount indicated for an individual award.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply as long as it met any additional requirements in the full announcement materials. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to be considered. The notice was posted on June 9, 2015, with an application deadline of August 10, 2015, and it was later archived on June 8, 2016. Applicants were directed to download the full instructions and application package via the announcement portal, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Jessica Clark at 503-808-6226 or j1clark@blm.gov.
