Opportunity Summary:
The "Colorado Animas City Mountain Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project Utilizing Veterans" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00084) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was designed to fund on-the-ground hazardous fuels reduction work in and around communities and adjacent public lands within Colorado's San Juan Public Lands area, with an emphasis reflected in the title on engaging veterans in project implementation. The overall purpose aligns with National Fire Plan priorities and Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) community fire assistance goals, focusing on lowering wildfire risk where homes, infrastructure, and public lands meet.
The core project activities involved reducing hazardous vegetation ("fuels") using mechanical methods and hand treatment. In practical terms, that typically means work such as thinning overly dense stands, removing ladder fuels that can carry fire from the ground into tree canopies, cutting and piling brush, pruning lower branches, and otherwise modifying vegetation to reduce fire intensity and improve defensible space. The treatments were intended to be carried out in locations that directly support community protection and landscape resilience, particularly in areas where fuel buildup increases the likelihood of severe wildfire behavior and threatens nearby communities and public resources.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a closer working relationship between the federal agency and the award recipient than a standard grant, often involving substantial agency involvement such as coordination on project planning, priorities, oversight, or technical guidance. The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and referenced CFDA number 15.228, associated with National Fire Plan and WUI Community Fire Assistance programming.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The stated award ceiling was $100,000, the award floor was $5,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility was listed as "unrestricted," indicating it was open to a broad range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that would have appeared in the full announcement on Grants.gov.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on May 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 3, 2010, and an archive date of June 30, 2010. Applicants or interested parties were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement details, and the point of contact provided for assistance accessing the announcement was Yvonne Pier at the Bureau of Land Management (yvonnepier@blm.gov).
