Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Utah Air Quality Monitoring Project (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00259) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). Its central goal is to expand and strengthen air quality data collection in Utah's Uinta Basin to support both ongoing and future energy development activities. BLM is seeking to fund work that produces reliable, long-term monitoring data that can be used in environmental review and decision-making, particularly for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analyses, air quality modeling, and evaluation of potential project impacts.
The core project activity is the deployment and operation of a long-term ambient air quality monitoring station in the Vernal Field Office area near Fruitland, Utah. This station is intended to measure ambient ozone concentrations, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and key meteorological parameters. Those meteorological measurements are important because local weather patterns and winter inversion conditions in the Uinta Basin can strongly influence ozone formation and pollutant transport, and the combination of chemistry data (ozone and NOx) with weather data improves the usefulness of the monitoring results for analysis and modeling.
A major purpose of the station is to supplement the existing monitoring network operated by the Utah Department of Air Quality (UDAQ). By filling spatial or operational gaps in the current network, the station would provide additional data coverage and help federal land managers and state regulators better understand basin-wide air conditions. The opportunity also leaves room for expansion: depending on coordination and consultation with UDAQ and other federal land managers, additional monitoring sites or targeted field studies may be established to address emerging needs, specific questions, or localized concerns related to development and air quality.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an expected project funding level set at $235,000 (listed as both the award ceiling and floor), within an estimated total funding amount of $350,000 for the overall opportunity. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity unless otherwise limited by details in the full announcement. The posting date was August 10, 2010, with an application deadline of August 27, 2010, and the opportunity was archived on September 30, 2010.
Applicants were directed to the Grants.gov listing for full details, and for access issues the contact provided was Maria Gochis, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 801-539-4178 or mariagochis@blm.gov.
