Opportunity Summary:
The BLM UT Watershed Restoration Science Planning and Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00239) was a Bureau of Land Management, Utah-focused discretionary grant issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The core purpose was to partner with an outside organization to carry out science-driven watershed restoration work on BLM-managed lands in Utah, with an emphasis on building the technical foundation for restoration and then moving into implementation and monitoring. In practice, this meant the BLM was looking for a partner capable of combining field science, spatial analysis, and restoration design so that future on-the-ground actions would be guided by defensible data and a clear monitoring framework.
The scope described is broad and centers on understanding watershed condition and aquatic and riparian function before and during restoration. Activities specifically listed include watershed assessments; aquatic habitat inventories and condition assessments; hydrologic and geomorphic analyses (to understand flow, sediment movement, channel form, and processes shaping stream corridors); riparian area delineation; riparian vegetation mapping; aquatic species sampling; and the development and implementation of science-based restoration plans. Just as important, the opportunity also calls for development and implementation of monitoring plans, indicating the BLM wanted outcomes measured over time rather than treating restoration as a one-time construction or planting effort. Taken together, the project is positioned to support both planning products (inventories, assessments, maps, analyses, and designs) and tangible restoration and monitoring actions aligned with those findings.
Funding for the opportunity was set at a total of $25,000, with the award floor and ceiling both fixed at $25,000, and the expectation that only one award would be made. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible partners and suggests the BLM intended the funding to directly support project delivery rather than require additional non-federal contributions. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant types could compete (for example, universities, nonprofits, tribes, local governments, or private entities), subject to any further clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement on Grants.gov.
The opportunity was posted on August 14, 2012, and closed on September 7, 2012, with an archive date of September 30, 2012. The announcement directed applicants to Grants.gov for full details and identified Andrea J. Ramos as the contracting officer and point of contact for access issues, with phone number 801-539-4145 and email aramos@blm.gov. Overall, this grant was designed to support a cooperative, science-forward approach to restoring watershed health and aquatic/riparian habitat conditions on BLM lands in Utah, backed by rigorous assessment and monitoring so that restoration decisions could be tracked and improved over time.
