Opportunity Summary:
The "BLM WY Sweetwater County Conservation District Projects" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00246) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant focused on natural resource conservation work in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The funding supports projects aligned with the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI), which is part of the BLM Healthy Landscapes Initiative. WLCI is described as a long-term, science-based partnership program designed to assess and improve aquatic and terrestrial habitat quality and quantity across Southwest Wyoming, while still accommodating responsible development.
The immediate project described in the announcement targets Bitter Creek, a waterbody listed as a Wyoming 303(d) stream, meaning it is considered impaired and in need of water quality improvement. Grant funds are intended to provide riparian plant species for placement along multiple sections of Bitter Creek. The core purpose of these plantings is to strengthen riparian health, stabilize streambanks, reduce erosion, and ultimately decrease sedimentation that contributes to poor water quality. In practical terms, the project is meant to use vegetation-based restoration to help hold banks together, slow runoff, and improve overall stream function and water conditions.
Beyond the initial Bitter Creek planting effort, the announcement notes that, if additional funding becomes available in the future, related projects may be developed to meet WLCI goals. Examples listed include more riparian planting work, improving fish passage by removing or modifying barriers, improving wildlife migration by removing or adjusting obstacles like fencing, and supporting native seed collection and native plant establishment. This signals that the effort is part of a broader habitat connectivity and watershed health strategy rather than a one-time stand-alone activity.
The stated objective of the project is to maintain, improve, or enhance habitats within the Sweetwater County Conservation District area. A key emphasis is collaboration: the project is intended to be carried out with partners and may involve sharing funds, materials, in-kind contributions, and technical expertise to meet WLCI goals. The announcement also indicates that specific projects can be identified annually as needs arise, and that responsibilities for each party would be defined in appended documentation to the agreement.
Administratively, this opportunity is a grant with an estimated total funding amount of $6,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $6,000, implying a single fixed-size award. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA program number is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). Although the opportunity appears on Grants.gov for public notice purposes, it explicitly states it is not a request for applications and is intended to fund the Sweetwater County Conservation District without full and open competition. The posting date was August 10, 2010, with a closing date of August 30, 2010, and an archive date of October 30, 2010. For access issues or questions, the listed contact is Ilze J. Karklins Powers, Grants Management Officer, at 307-775-6293 or ipowers@blm.gov.
