Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA Douglas County Stream Gauges opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00236) was a discretionary Bureau of Land Management grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support the operation of stream gauging stations across the Umpqua Basin in Oregon. The project was structured as a multi-partner, cooperative monitoring effort involving the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Douglas County, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the Partnership for the Umpqua Rivers. The central purpose of the funding was to keep a network of stream gauges operating so that the basin has reliable, ongoing streamflow information that can be used for natural resource management, environmental protection, and water-related decision-making.
A key feature of this program is its cooperative management model. Douglas County functions as the coordinator and fiscal manager on behalf of the partners, which means the county is responsible for organizing the collaboration and handling the financial administration tied to the cooperative agreement. Decisions about funding levels, which gauges will be operated, how operations will be handled, and other program needs are reviewed and discussed during an annual meeting attended by the cooperating partners. This annual coordination component suggests the program is designed to be adaptive from year to year, with the gauge network and work plan potentially adjusted based on shared priorities and available resources.
From an eligibility and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was limited to county governments, with Douglas County being the practical fit given its described coordinating role. The assistance listing was under CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management), and the activity category was Natural Resources. The opportunity anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding for the opportunity was $520,000, while the listed award ceiling was $113,669 and the award floor was $1, indicating the announced range for an individual award under this posting even though the overall cooperative program may involve broader pooled funding across partners or multiple funding components.
Timing details show the notice was posted and created on August 28, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2013. The opportunity was archived on August 27, 2014. Applicants were directed to retrieve full instructions and the application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting, and a point of contact was provided for access issues: Jessica Clark at BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov).
