Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued the funding opportunity titled "BLM WY Soil Salinity Risk RMCESU" (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00105) as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resources and environmental quality/resource management (CFDA 15.236). The project is aimed at strengthening hydrologic and geospatial capacity in support of numeric modeling tools that can be used for sustainable resource management decisions in Wyoming. In practical terms, the work centers on building, improving, and applying data and model-ready geospatial and hydrologic information so land managers can better understand watershed behavior and anticipate environmental impacts tied to land use and disturbance.
The technical emphasis is split into two main focus areas. First, the project targets salinity transport, including monitoring and modeling efforts intended to improve understanding of how salts move through watersheds and water systems, where risks may be highest, and how salinity-related impacts might be tracked over time. This focus implies work such as compiling and analyzing relevant water quality and hydrologic datasets, developing spatial representations of salinity sources and pathways, and supporting model calibration/validation so predictions of salinity movement are more defensible for management use. Second, the opportunity calls for hydrologic modeling that evaluates how surface disturbance affects runoff. That component is oriented toward quantifying how changes on the landscape (for example, disturbance from land management activities, infrastructure, or other surface impacts) can alter runoff generation and hydrologic response, which is critical for understanding erosion, sediment movement, water availability, and downstream water quality consequences.
From an administrative standpoint, BLM expected to make one award with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor were listed as $0, which typically indicates the specific funding range would be determined through the application and negotiation process rather than being set as fixed bounds in the public synopsis. Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning the effort with research and technical support capacity often housed in universities. The opportunity was posted and created on April 30, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 29, 2015, and it was archived on July 15, 2015.
The announcement points applicants to the full application instructions and package through the "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting. For questions or issues accessing materials, the listed point of contact was Robert J. Tichac at the BLM, reachable by phone at 307-775-6313 or by email at rtichac@blm.gov.

What is the overall purpose of the project?
The project aims to strengthen hydrologic and geospatial capacity to support numeric modeling tools used for sustainable resource management decisions in Wyoming.
What does "strengthening hydrologic and geospatial capacity" mean in practical terms?
In practical terms, the work centers on building, improving, and applying data and model-ready geospatial and hydrologic information so land managers can better understand watershed behavior and anticipate environmental impacts related to land use and disturbance.
What are the main technical focus areas in this project?
The technical emphasis is split into two main focus areas:
- Salinity transport (monitoring and modeling to understand how salts move through watersheds and water systems).
- Hydrologic modeling of surface disturbance effects on runoff (evaluating how changes on the landscape alter runoff generation and hydrologic response).
What kinds of activities are implied under the salinity transport focus?
Based on the announcement description, the salinity transport work implies activities such as:
- Compiling and analyzing relevant water quality and hydrologic datasets
- Developing spatial representations of salinity sources and pathways
- Supporting model calibration and validation so predictions of salinity movement are more defensible for management use
- Improving understanding of where salinity risks may be highest and how impacts could be tracked over time
What does the hydrologic modeling component focus on?
The hydrologic modeling component focuses on evaluating how surface disturbance affects runoff, with an emphasis on quantifying how landscape changes can alter runoff generation and hydrologic response.
What kinds of impacts are associated with changes in runoff that this project is concerned with?
The opportunity notes that understanding runoff changes is critical for issues such as erosion, sediment movement, water availability, and downstream water quality consequences.
Is this opportunity limited to work in a particular state or region?
Yes. The purpose statement indicates the work supports modeling and management decisions in Wyoming.
How many awards did BLM expect to make?
