Opportunity Summary:
The East and West Walker River Weeds #2 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R8 LNFHC FY11 003) is a discretionary federal funding action from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It is issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the agency has already identified the intended recipient rather than conducting a fully open competitive selection for this specific award. The intended awardee is the Mason Valley Conservation District, and the planned award instrument is a cooperative agreement or grant in the environment and natural resources category.
The purpose of the project is to coordinate and carry out work to inventory and treat weeds that the State of Nevada officially recognizes as noxious within the riparian corridors of the East and West Walker Rivers (often referenced as the EWWR). The effort focuses on practical, on-the-ground weed management: technicians will continue surveying river corridor areas, documenting infestations, mapping locations, and performing treatment where conditions and access allow. A key part of the work is the continued use of GPS units and related field gear, along with travel equipment and other supplies needed to reach sites and maintain consistent, repeatable data collection. In other words, the project is structured to support both accurate tracking of weed distribution over time and direct response actions to reduce or control priority noxious weeds in sensitive riparian habitat.
Funding details indicate a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling is $50,000 and the award floor is listed as $1, which typically reflects administrative minimums rather than a realistic project budget range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants. While the eligible applicant categories listed include qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), county governments, special district governments, and city or township governments, the notice format makes clear that this specific action is intended for the Mason Valley Conservation District.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on January 19, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 2, 2011, and an archive date of March 4, 2011.
