Opportunity Summary:
The "CCS Hollister Coast Dairies Watershed Assessment" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA NOI 09 2015) is a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Challenge Cost Share (CCS) initiative focused on natural resource planning and assessment work connected to a pending BLM land acquisition at Coast Dairies. The core purpose is to generate a clearer, science-based understanding of conditions and resource needs across six watersheds associated with the Coast Dairies property so that future public land management decisions can be better informed. In line with the CCS program goals, the opportunity is framed around building partnerships that directly support effective management of public lands.
The work described centers on three main deliverables: watershed assessments, watershed modeling, and historical ecology research that includes archaeology. The watershed assessment component is expected to follow recognized and widely used technical standards, specifically referencing the NRCS 2007 Rapid Watershed Assessment (RWA) protocol as a guiding framework. Practically, this means the project would compile and interpret existing data and field observations to identify watershed characteristics, current conditions, stressors, and priority concerns such as erosion, sediment delivery, stream habitat condition, water quality issues, and other factors relevant to managing land and water resources. The watershed modeling element indicates an expectation to go beyond descriptive assessments by using analytical tools to understand watershed processes and likely outcomes under different conditions, supporting planning and prioritization. The historical ecology and archaeology component signals an additional emphasis on understanding how the landscape has changed over time, including human land use and cultural resource dimensions, which can be important for restoration planning, regulatory compliance, and interpreting long-term ecological trajectories.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity, and the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies an active level of federal involvement or collaboration during the project rather than a more hands-off grant structure. The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling is $100,000 and the award floor is $500, indicating the funding request could vary but cannot exceed the ceiling. No cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants are not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is targeted specifically to county governments, with the listing indicating "County Government" and referencing Resource Conservation District involvement, consistent with the project description noting that watershed assessments will be conducted directly by the SCRCD. The program is categorized under Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.238 (Challenge Cost Share). Key dates in the announcement show it was posted on August 25, 2009, created August 27, 2009, and closed on September 5, 2009, with an archive date of September 15, 2009.
For applicants or interested parties who needed more details at the time, the announcement directed users to Grants.gov for full information and provided a point of contact at BLM: Leona B. Parker (lparker@blm.gov) for assistance accessing the announcement electronically.
