Opportunity Summary:
Ground Water Monitoring in South Eastern Montanas Energy Development Areas (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00034) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The opportunity focused on supporting ongoing groundwater monitoring in Southeastern Montana, specifically within the Tongue, Rosebud, and Powder River Basins, where BLM minerals management and energy development activities can influence groundwater conditions. The central purpose was to generate and maintain reliable groundwater data so managers could evaluate whether, where, and how energy development is affecting groundwater resources, and then use those findings to inform future land and minerals management decisions.
The work supported by this opportunity was framed as continuation and support of existing monitoring efforts rather than launching an entirely new program from scratch. In practical terms, the grant was aimed at sustaining groundwater monitoring in energy development areas so changes in groundwater quantity or quality could be identified over time. By emphasizing areas affected by minerals management, the announcement signaled a management need tied to oversight of development activities, with monitoring data intended to help guide decision-making and resource protection in basins that have historically faced development pressures.
BLM anticipated making one award, and eligibility was limited to state governments. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduced the financial barrier for an eligible state applicant and indicates the federal government intended to fully fund the approved scope within the award limits. The estimated total funding available under the announcement was $750,000, while the award ceiling and floor were both listed as $100,000, meaning the expected individual award amount was effectively set at $100,000 for the single anticipated recipient under this posting.
Key administrative details included a posted and created date of March 2, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 23, 2011. The opportunity was archived on April 20, 2011. The listing referenced CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management), aligning the project with environmental monitoring and resource management objectives rather than infrastructure development or direct remediation. Further details were available through the Grants.gov announcement, and applicants needing help accessing the full notice were directed to contact Shawna R. Rogers, Contract Specialist, at 406-896-5210 or shawnarogers@blm.gov.
