Opportunity Summary:

The Four Corner Air Quality Task Force grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM NM NOI 10 1956) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, offered through a cooperative agreement to support environmental work in the Four Corners region. The stated purpose of the award was to support the New Mexico Air Quality Board with the technical and field activities needed to identify and apply the most effective air quality mitigation measures in that area. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on the core building blocks of air quality management: developing and running air quality models, conducting air monitoring, preparing or improving emissions inventories, and carrying out inspections. These components are typically used together to understand what pollutants are present, where they are coming from, how they move and transform in the atmosphere, and which control strategies are likely to produce measurable improvements.

The scope described in the announcement points to a coordinated, data-driven approach to air quality protection. Modeling can be used to evaluate scenarios and predict the impact of different mitigation strategies; monitoring provides real-world measurements to establish baseline conditions and verify whether air quality is improving; emissions inventories compile estimates of pollution sources and quantities, which are essential inputs for both planning and modeling; and inspections help ensure compliance and provide on-the-ground validation of operational practices and emission controls. By supporting these activities, the grant was aimed at enabling targeted mitigation actions rather than broad, unguided interventions, which is especially important in regions where multiple sources and jurisdictional boundaries can complicate air quality planning.

Administratively, the opportunity was intended for state government applicants only, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The estimated total funding for the opportunity was $350,000, while the award amount for an individual award was specified with both a ceiling and a floor of $85,000, indicating a fixed award size for the project being competed or awarded under this notice. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning the applicant was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The program was categorized under Environment, and the CFDA listing associated with it was 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management), which generally covers federal assistance tied to environmental protection and resource management efforts.

Key dates show that the notice was posted and created on March 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 12, 2010, suggesting a short application window. The opportunity was later archived on May 1, 2010. For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement details at the time, the listing directed users to Grants.gov and provided a point of contact at the Bureau of Land Management: Janet Y. Huff (jhuff@blm.gov) for assistance accessing the announcement electronically.
