Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Hot Springs County Community Wildfire Protection Plan grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM WY NOI09 9028) is a Bureau of Land Management, Wyoming State Office initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior aimed at improving wildfire preparedness and risk reduction in Hot Springs County, Wyoming. It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM anticipates having substantial involvement with the recipient during the project rather than simply providing pass-through funding. The program aligns with disaster prevention and relief goals and is tied to CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan, specifically the Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance component, which focuses on reducing wildfire threats where communities and undeveloped wildlands meet.
The core purpose of the project is to develop a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for Hot Springs County. The plan is intended to document and map existing fuel loads, identify wildfire risk areas, and outline proposed mitigation techniques. In practical terms, this typically includes assessing vegetation and other combustible materials that could carry fire, evaluating where high-risk conditions overlap with homes, infrastructure, and access routes, and recommending actions such as defensible space practices, priority fuel reduction treatments, community evacuation considerations, and coordination strategies among local, state, and federal responders. The expected result is a structured, locally grounded planning document that helps guide prevention and mitigation work and supports better targeting of future fuels projects and preparedness investments.
Funding for the opportunity is estimated at $20,000, with one anticipated award. The project is designed to run for up to 12 months, and the announcement notes that BLM may consider continued funding only if two conditions are met: first, the recipient demonstrates progress that BLM considers satisfactory toward the program goals, and second, BLM determines that continuing the effort serves the government’s best interest or that funds remain available. Even with the possibility of additional support, the total project period for this award is capped and will not exceed one year as stated in the notice.
Eligibility is listed broadly as county governments, but the announcement is explicitly a notice of intent to award to the Hot Springs County Fire Department. That wording signals the agency’s plan to make a directed award rather than run an open competition among multiple applicants. The opportunity was posted and created on July 27, 2009, with an application closing date of August 14, 2009, and an archive date of October 1, 2009. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the recipient would not be expected to provide a formal match as a condition of receiving the federal funds.
