Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Utah Rich County Sage Grouse Initiative (SGI) Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00115) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding announcement offering support through a cooperative agreement focused on natural resource outcomes tied to rangeland management in Rich County, Utah. The central aim is to strengthen and continue ongoing local efforts to manage livestock grazing in ways that improve sage-grouse habitat, enhance riparian conditions, and promote overall watershed health. In practical terms, the project is meant to help coordinate and carry out on-the-ground grazing improvements that align ranching use of public lands with habitat and water-quality goals.
A key part of the approach described in the announcement is supporting the Utah Department of Agriculture's ongoing effort to place an individual in Rich County who can oversee, coordinate, and assist with implementation. That role is intended to help move grazing practice improvements from planning into day-to-day execution, including working with local partners and helping ensure that actions taken on the ground translate into measurable benefits such as healthier watersheds and better functioning riparian areas. The emphasis is not just on habitat for sage grouse, but on broader watershed values, suggesting a landscape and systems-based focus rather than isolated site work.
The anticipated public benefits highlighted include cleaner water, improved recreational experiences, and healthier watersheds that support more abundant and resilient wildlife populations, which in turn can increase wildlife viewing and hunting opportunities. The announcement also frames the work as beneficial to the ranching community by helping maintain continued access to public lands for livestock operations, implying that improved grazing management is being used as a tool to sustain both ecological conditions and the long-term viability of permitted grazing.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $60,000, with a single expected award. The award ceiling and floor are both $20,000, indicating an intended award amount of $20,000 for the selected project under this announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of applicant), subject to any clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text. The CFDA program number is 15.237 (Rangeland Resource Management), aligning the project squarely with BLM's rangeland stewardship and grazing-related resource objectives.
The opportunity was posted on June 5, 2012, created on June 26, 2012, and the closing date was amended to extend the deadline to July 13, 2012 (from a previously stated date in late June). The announcement was archived on September 30, 2012. Additional details and official application materials were available through Grants.gov at the time. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact was Maria Gochis, Grants Management Officer, at 801-539-4178, with email contacts mariagochis@blm.gov and mgochis@blm.gov.
