Invasive and Noxious Plant Management | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The "Invasive and Noxious Plant Management" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA NOI 09 2005) was a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on natural resources work tied to invasive and noxious weed management. The funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the awarding agency expects to remain actively involved during the project period (for example, through coordination, shared planning, or technical oversight), rather than simply providing funds and stepping back.

The core purpose of the project was to coordinate directly with the Modoc County Department of Agriculture to support an early detection and rapid response (EDRR) program and to carry out on-the-ground actions that control noxious weeds, reduce their spread, and prevent new infestations from becoming established. The announcement emphasizes using the most economical, appropriate, and effective weed control methods available, and it explicitly includes work on both private and public lands. In practice, this kind of scope usually covers activities like surveying and mapping infestations, prioritizing high-risk or high-value sites, treating new outbreaks quickly before they expand, and applying integrated weed management approaches (such as mechanical removal, targeted herbicide application, grazing or biological controls where appropriate, and follow-up monitoring to prevent reinfestation). The inclusion of both private and public lands signals an intent to manage invasive plants across property boundaries, recognizing that weeds spread regardless of jurisdiction and that coordinated landscape-level action is often necessary to be effective.

Funding was limited to a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. The award ceiling was also $150,000, meaning the maximum anticipated award aligned with the total available funds. A minimum award floor of $1,000 was listed, though given the single-award structure and the total funding level, the practical target was likely a project proposal close to the full amount. Importantly, there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so eligible applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to compete for or receive the award.

Eligibility was restricted to county governments, and the additional information clarifies that the recipient was to be the County Agricultural contact, which strongly indicates the award was intended to be carried out through the county agriculture office or a closely related county entity responsible for weed and pest management coordination. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the opportunity was 15.230, under the same program name, "Invasive and Noxious Plant Management."

The opportunity timeline was short and clearly defined. It was posted and created on June 3, 2009, and the original and current closing date were both June 19, 2009, indicating there was no extension. The opportunity was later archived on July 5, 2009. For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Leona B. Parker at lparker@blm.gov, which suggests the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was involved in administering or supporting the announcement even though the agency name is broadly listed as the Department of the Interior.

Overall, this grant was designed as a targeted, county-level cooperative effort to strengthen rapid response capacity and implement practical, cost-effective weed control actions in Modoc County, with the goal of limiting ecological and economic impacts by stopping invasive and noxious plants early and reducing their spread through coordinated management across land ownership boundaries.
