Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Wildlife Aerial Survey opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00188) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support aerial monitoring of key wildlife species in Wyoming. The project focus was on tracking populations of sage-grouse and elk in areas affected by, or adjacent to, conventional oil and gas development and coal bed natural gas activities in the Powder River Basin. The central purpose was to generate practical, decision-ready information that BLM could use for land use planning and day-to-day management in landscapes where fluid mineral development is occurring.
The work described centers on wildlife aerial surveys designed to produce monitoring results, baseline datasets, and other targeted information products tied to mineral development needs. In practice, this kind of funding typically supports activities such as conducting repeated aerial counts or observations over defined survey blocks, mapping distribution and seasonal use patterns, and documenting changes over time that may be relevant to development footprints, infrastructure expansion, and associated habitat disturbance. The opportunity explicitly frames the surveys as supporting planning, ongoing monitoring, baseline data gathering, and special projects connected to fluid mineral development, indicating that the surveys were intended to inform both longer-term management decisions and more immediate project-level questions.
From an administrative standpoint, the award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The listing anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding amount was $75,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and no stated award floor. No cost sharing or matching was required, lowering the barrier for eligible applicants and indicating that the federal funds could cover the full scope of the proposed work if the budget and project design were accepted.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, which narrows applicants to state agencies or comparable state-level entities capable of carrying out wildlife survey work. The program was categorized under Natural Resources and aligned with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), reflecting its emphasis on conservation-relevant monitoring and resource management rather than infrastructure or construction.
The opportunity was posted and created on August 8, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2013, and it was archived on September 3, 2013. Applicants were directed to use the announcement materials available through the application package referenced in the posting. For access issues or questions, the contact listed was Robert J. Tichac at BLM, reachable at 307-775-6313 or rtichac@blm.gov.
