Opportunity Summary:
The "BLM OR/WA Noxious Weed Eradication Malheur County, Oregon" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM OR RFA 09 1535) was a Bureau of Land Management grant competition under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on invasive and noxious plant management in Malheur County, Oregon. The central purpose of the project was to strengthen and formalize coordination of weed control work across multiple jurisdictions, recognizing that invasive plant problems do not follow property boundaries and are more effectively addressed when neighboring land managers act together rather than independently. The project was designed to build practical, on-the-ground partnerships among local, state, and federal entities as well as private landowners, aiming to align priorities, treatments, and timing so that weed management actions reinforce each other across the landscape.
The grant emphasized the broader public benefits that come from maintaining and improving lands in good condition. In practical terms, the agency framed noxious weed eradication and control as a pathway to healthier watersheds, improved wildlife habitat, better scenic quality, and increased livestock forage, all of which connect directly to ecological health and local land use needs. The stated objective of the cooperative agreement was to implement coordinated weed management actions that measurably improve habitat conditions, watershed function, and overall ecosystem integrity. While the source description does not list specific target species or treatment methods, the intent is clearly oriented toward integrated, coordinated management actions rather than isolated, single-property treatments.
Administratively, this was a discretionary funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument type, which typically implies substantial involvement by the awarding agency in the project beyond what is common in a standard grant. The funding activity category was Environment, and the relevant CFDA listing was 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $81,000, which also served as the award ceiling. The award floor was listed as $1, meaning proposals could theoretically request smaller amounts, but the total funding available for the competition was capped at $81,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated.
Eligibility was listed as "Unrestricted," meaning it was broadly open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement text on Grants.gov. Key dates show the opportunity moved quickly: it was posted and created on September 17, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 21, 2009, and it was later archived on November 17, 2009. For applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the notice provided a point of contact: Teresa E. Spickerman at tsimpson@blm.gov. The primary additional information link referenced the Grants.gov listing, where the full announcement details, application instructions, and any jurisdiction-specific requirements would have been available at the time.
