Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity titled "BLM WY Uinta county Weed and Pest District" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00166) was a discretionary funding announcement focused on invasive plant management on public lands in Wyoming, specifically in partnership with the Uinta County Weed and Pest District. The core purpose of the project was to protect sensitive riparian corridors, wetlands, and upland rangelands from being overtaken by invasive noxious weeds. By emphasizing coordinated on-the-ground control work, the opportunity aimed to prevent the spread and establishment of invasive species that can displace native plant communities, degrade habitat quality, and reduce the resilience and productivity of rangeland ecosystems.
A central theme of the announcement was that cooperative weed management is one of the most cost-effective strategies for safeguarding public lands. The BLM highlighted that working with the Uinta County Weed and Pest District allows for better coordination across boundaries and more efficient use of resources, which is especially important because invasive weeds do not stop at jurisdictional lines. The ecological rationale was also explicit: controlling invasive species is critical to maintaining the native vegetation that both livestock and wildlife depend on for forage, cover, and overall habitat function. In practical terms, the funded work would support actions that limit weed encroachment in high-value habitats, help sustain native plant dominance, and reduce long-term management costs by addressing infestations before they expand further.
The funding was offered through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement and collaboration between the federal agency and the recipient during project implementation. The estimated total funding available was $250,000, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and an award floor of $0, and the BLM anticipated making one award. The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was associated with CFDA number 15.238. Cost sharing or matching was required under a Challenge Cost Share framework, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute resources (such as funds, labor, equipment, or other eligible match) alongside federal dollars.
Eligible applicants were limited to county governments and special district governments, aligning with the stated partnership focus on the Uinta County Weed and Pest District. The notice was posted and created on July 31, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2013, and it was archived on August 26, 2013. Additional application instructions and the application package were provided through the announcement's application materials. For access issues or questions, the listed point of contact was Robert J. Tichac at 307-775-6313 or rtichac@blm.gov.
