Opportunity Summary:

The BLM UT Statewide Watershed Restoration Project is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management funding opportunity focused on improving and maintaining renewable natural resources on public lands across Utah through watershed restoration work. The core purpose is to strengthen the long-term health and function of watersheds by improving vegetation conditions, protecting and enhancing water quantity and water quality, and increasing soil stability. By doing that, the program aims to deliver more reliable recreational and consumptive benefits to the public, including better conditions for outdoor recreation, cleaner and more available water for agricultural and domestic use, and healthier habitat conditions that support wildlife diversity.

The project description emphasizes three connected outcomes. First, it prioritizes improving vegetation cover, vigor, and composition, which supports a broader range of wildlife species for viewing and hunting while also contributing to overall biological diversity. Second, it targets improvements in water quantity and water quality so that clean, usable water remains available for agriculture, recreation, and consumption. Third, it focuses on soil stability, reducing erosion and the movement of sediment that can degrade streams and other water resources; more stable soils also support agricultural, recreational, and household uses by reducing land degradation and improving watershed resilience.

This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, listed under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The total estimated funding available was $15,000,000, with one expected award. Individual awards were anticipated to fall between an award floor of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $700,000. Cost sharing or matching was not required, which can lower barriers for applicants and make it easier to propose work based on ecological need and readiness rather than the applicant's ability to provide matching funds.

Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that might have been included in the full announcement. The posting date and creation date were both June 30, 2009, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2009. The opportunity was archived on July 31, 2009. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Maria A. Gochis at mgochis@blm.gov, and the opportunity referenced Grants.gov for the official posting and related materials.
