Opportunity Summary:
The Fish Barrier Removal in MT opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00156) was a discretionary grant offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The core purpose of the project was straightforward and highly targeted: remove a fish passage barrier on the Missouri River in Montana so that fish can move freely again through an affected stretch of the river. The stated conservation benefit was significant for a single, on-the-ground action: reopening approximately 25 miles of river habitat by restoring uninterrupted access for fish. Projects like this are typically aimed at improving fish migration, expanding access to spawning and rearing habitat, and strengthening overall aquatic ecosystem function by reconnecting fragmented river segments.
Funding for the opportunity was relatively small and tightly defined. The estimated total funding available was listed as $300,000, with an expectation of making one award. However, the award amount itself was fixed in the posting, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $89,000, indicating BLM anticipated funding a single project at that specific level under this particular notice. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, though applicants sometimes still contribute partner resources or in-kind support depending on project design.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, which narrows the applicant pool to state-level agencies or entities that can apply on behalf of the state. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, a program area that commonly supports habitat restoration, aquatic connectivity improvements, and related conservation actions on or affecting public lands and waters.
The posting timeline shows it was a short-window opportunity. It was posted on June 19, 2014, created on July 17, 2014, and originally set to close on July 20, 2014, with the closing date later extended to July 27, 2014. The archive date was August 19, 2014, meaning it is no longer open and is retained for record purposes only.
For applicants at the time, the full announcement and application package were accessed through the application materials link referenced in the listing. For help obtaining the full announcement electronically, the listed grants management contact was Lori Anderson (GMO) at 406-896-5196.
