Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA Endangered Borax Lake Chub Monitoring grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00174) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources conservation work in Harney County, Oregon. The project centers on annual monitoring of the Borax Lake Chub, an endangered fish species associated with Borax Lake, with the goal of building long-term population trend data that can guide management decisions over time. By committing to repeated, consistent monitoring, the program aims to create a reliable record of changes in abundance and distribution rather than relying on occasional observations that can miss important shifts.
A central purpose of the opportunity is early detection of problems that could quickly become irreversible. The announcement emphasizes using monitoring as a practical warning system to identify critical population declines and to detect the presence of nonnative fish before they can cause severe impacts. In aquatic systems, invasive or nonnative species can outcompete, prey on, or introduce diseases to native species, and the ability to identify these threats early is often the difference between a manageable response and a long-term loss of biodiversity. The monitoring effort described here is therefore not just data collection for its own sake; it is designed to support timely intervention and protection actions.
The work also explicitly supports broader management and protection efforts tied to the Borax Lake Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC). ACECs are areas designated by BLM because they have significant historic, cultural, scenic, or ecological values that warrant special management attention. In this case, the ecological value is closely tied to habitat that supports the Borax Lake Chub, and the monitoring results are intended to strengthen BLM's ability to safeguard that habitat through informed stewardship, risk management, and resource protection decisions.
This funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, indicating that BLM anticipates substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity lists an expected single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000 and an award ceiling of $20,000 (with an award floor of $1). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, lowering barriers for organizations that may not have separate funds to contribute. Eligible applicants are described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility details that might have been provided in the full announcement on Grants.gov.
Key administrative details include a posted and creation date of July 12, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2010, and an archive date of July 12, 2011. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
