Opportunity Summary:
The "Lower Potomac Field Station Stream and Storm Water Management Partnership continuation" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00344) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on protecting and restoring the Potomac River watershed on the Mason Neck peninsula. The core idea is a practical partnership between BLM and local community organizations to improve water quality, restore affected streams, and strengthen overall watershed health, particularly on or near public recreation lands. The project is framed as a continuation effort, meaning it is intended to build on existing work or an ongoing collaboration rather than start from scratch.
The need for this effort comes from documented impacts to the watershed caused by recreational development and use, including projects, trails, and facilities located on public lands on Mason Neck. Those kinds of features can increase storm water runoff, worsen erosion, and transport sediment and pollutants into nearby streams, which in turn affects the wider Potomac River system. The opportunity emphasizes active restoration and protection work on public lands, aiming to reduce or reverse these impacts and improve long-term stream and water quality conditions.
A major theme of the grant is coordinated, shared-resource problem solving. BLM is looking to collaborate with community partners who can contribute technical expertise, local and regional knowledge, and on-the-ground capacity to identify and implement the most effective watershed and storm water solutions. Beyond water quality and habitat benefits, the project is also meant to support recreational opportunities in the watershed by fostering healthier natural systems and more sustainable management of recreation areas, so that public use and environmental protection reinforce each other rather than compete.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity under the Natural Resources activity category, offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial federal involvement and close coordination during project implementation. The listing includes CFDA number 15.238 (Challenge Cost Share), but the notice states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement for applicants. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The award floor is listed as $25,000 and the award ceiling as $1,000,000.
Eligible applicants are limited to county governments and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Key dates in the notice include a posted date of September 2, 2010; an original closing date of September 14, 2010; and a revised/current closing date of September 21, 2010. The record shows an archive date of December 1, 2010, indicating it is not a currently open opportunity, but the summary is still useful for understanding the program’s intent and requirements.
