Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM WY Wyoming DEQ Aquatics Analysis" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00275) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. It was focused on natural resource work tied specifically to aquatic systems in Wyoming, with an emphasis on generating usable, decision-relevant information for BLM and the Powder River Basin Interagency Working Group (PRB IWG), particularly its Aquatic Task Group (ATG). The core purpose was to support the collection and analysis of aquatic habitat inventory data in line with the PRB IWG Memorandum of Understanding, ultimately strengthening interagency efforts to evaluate and track aquatic health conditions.
In practical terms, the project aimed to gather aquatic habitat inventory data and then analyze it so that it meaningfully supports management needs. While the announcement text is brief, the intent is clear: produce structured data and interpretation that help agencies understand aquatic habitat conditions and broader aquatic health indicators in the Powder River Basin context. The work would likely involve field-based habitat inventories (for example, documenting stream channel and riparian conditions, habitat features, and other standardized measures of aquatic habitat quality) and office-based analysis that turns raw observations into findings that can inform planning, coordination, and resource management decisions across participating entities.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $65,000. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates more substantial involvement and coordination with the federal agency than a standard grant, often including collaboration on project direction, deliverables, or technical approaches. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The announcement listed an award ceiling and floor as $0, which generally means the specific award amount and structure would be defined through the application and negotiation process rather than being constrained by preset minimums or maximums in the notice itself.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, meaning this opportunity was intended for a state-level entity such as a state environmental agency or similar government organization capable of carrying out aquatic monitoring and analysis work. The posting and creation date were September 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 21, 2011, indicating a very short application window. The opportunity was archived on October 15, 2011.
Applicants were directed to use the application materials and full instructions available through the announcement (referenced via the "APPLICATION" tab in the original listing). For access issues or questions, the point of contact was Robert J. Tichac at the BLM, reachable at 307-775-6313 or roberttichac@blm.gov.
