Opportunity Summary:
The BLM UT GSENM Water Quality Sampling opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM UT NOI 09 1543) is a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management funding announcement focused on building and sustaining long-term water quality monitoring on public lands associated with the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument area, with an emphasis on key water resources in Kane County, Utah. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to be actively involved in shaping or coordinating the work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The central purpose is to support coordinated water quality sampling efforts and strengthen consultation among the BLM and other partners, ensuring that monitoring is consistent, shared, and useful for management needs over time.
The recipient is expected to foster cooperation and consultation between the BLM and additional partners to carry out water quality sampling, with sampling locations on public lands being determined by the BLM. A key feature of the project is shared access: all participating parties will have access to the results of laboratory analyses as well as the associated data management outputs. In practical terms, the work is aimed at producing credible, well-organized water quality information that can be used not only for immediate site-level questions, but also for long-term trend analysis and reporting.
The primary objective is to acquire and maintain a long-term dataset documenting water quality conditions for important water resources within Kane County. The grant emphasizes that this dataset should be useful for understanding past conditions, current status, and future changes, which supports planning and day-to-day resource management decisions. Another explicit objective is regulatory relevance: the dataset is intended to help support and demonstrate compliance with the Clean Water Act, implying the monitoring should be robust enough to inform water quality assessments, identify potential impairments or risks, and contribute to credible reporting. The announcement also highlights broader value beyond the county level, noting that long-duration water quality datasets are relatively uncommon statewide, so the resulting record would have significance as a long-term reference for Utah water quality efforts more generally.
Administratively, this was posted July 31, 2009, with an application closing date of August 17, 2009, and an archive date of August 30, 2009. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding in the Natural Resources activity area, under CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). The estimated total funding amount is $100,000, with an award floor of $500, and the agency anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any entity type, subject to any additional clarifications that might have been contained in the full announcement materials.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Maria A. Gochis at mgochis@blm.gov, and the additional information link referenced the listing on Grants.gov.
