Opportunity Summary:
The BLM UT Rich County Riparian Exclosure grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00193) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources conservation work in Rich County, Utah. The project centers on riparian exclosures, which are fenced or otherwise protected streamside areas designed to keep livestock out so that vegetation, streambanks, and aquatic habitat can recover and remain stable. In this case, the exclosures were originally built to improve and protect critical habitat for Bonneville Cutthroat Trout, a native trout that depends on healthy, shaded, cool-water riparian systems. A secondary purpose of the exclosures is educational, meaning they are also intended to serve as visible, on-the-ground examples of habitat protection and restoration practices.
The main need addressed by the award is ongoing maintenance. Even well-built exclosures can fail over time due to weather, flooding, wear-and-tear, wildlife damage, or fence degradation, and once gaps appear, livestock can enter protected areas and quickly reverse habitat gains by trampling banks, removing vegetation, and increasing erosion and sediment in the stream. The grant therefore supports periodic maintenance activities necessary to keep the exclosures functional and to continue preventing livestock from accessing the protected riparian zones.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, indicating that BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The announcement anticipated a single award, with a total estimated funding amount of $20,000. The award structure was fixed at an award floor of $20,000 and an award ceiling of $20,000, meaning the intended award amount was essentially set at $20,000. No cost sharing or matching was required, which reduces barriers for applicants and indicates the federal funds were expected to cover the full project cost as proposed within the award amount.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity as allowed under the announcement, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full notice on Grants.gov. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the program was 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), aligning the work with fish and wildlife habitat conservation and broader resource management goals.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on July 26, 2012, created in the system on August 8, 2012, and had an original closing date of August 10, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of September 7, 2012. The opportunity was archived on September 30, 2012, which generally indicates it was no longer accepting applications after that point and had moved into the post-competition phase.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement online, the listed point of contact was Andrea J. Ramos, Contracting Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 801-539-4145 and by email at aramos@blm.gov. The announcement also referenced Grants.gov as the source for full details and official application materials.
