Opportunity Summary:
The Milk River Coordinated Weed Management grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00249) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program focused on natural resources protection and restoration along the Milk River and its tributaries. The central problem the opportunity targets is the river acting as a natural corridor that helps noxious and invasive weeds move and spread both upstream and downstream. Because waterways and riparian zones are efficient pathways for seeds and plant fragments to travel, infestations can expand quickly and repeatedly reinvade treated areas, creating ongoing ecological and management challenges.
The project described in the announcement is straightforward and geographically specific: it calls for treating a 200-foot buffer on each side of the Milk River shoreline from Fresno Dam downstream to the confluence with the Missouri River. The intent is to reduce or eliminate priority noxious and invasive weeds within that riparian corridor so the river system can recover toward "almost pristine" conditions. In practical terms, this kind of work typically involves coordinated weed management approaches across multiple landownerships and jurisdictions, since rivers pass through a mix of federal, state, local, and private lands and weed control is most effective when it is planned and implemented consistently across boundaries.
BLM planned to make one award under this opportunity, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the agency expects substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration on planning, oversight, technical direction, or coordination, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The expected single award amount is listed at $50,000 (both the award ceiling and award floor are $50,000), with an estimated total program funding figure of $434,500 shown in the source data. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.238. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although voluntary leveraging of resources is often common in cooperative natural resource projects.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that might appear in the full announcement. The posting date was August 16, 2010, and the closing date was extended, with a current closing date of September 17, 2010 (the original closing date was September 9, 2010). The announcement was archived on September 30, 2010. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials, and a BLM contact was provided for assistance: Shawna R. Rogers at 406-896-5210 and shawnarogers@blm.gov.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted riparian invasive plant control effort designed to interrupt the spread of noxious weeds along a major river corridor in Montana, improve ecological condition and habitat quality, and produce better long-term outcomes by treating a continuous shoreline buffer across a large connected stretch of the river system.
Milk River Coordinated Weed Management Grant (L10AS00249) - FAQs
What is the Milk River Coordinated Weed Management grant opportunity?
It is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity focused on natural resources protection and restoration along the Milk River and its tributaries. The project emphasis is coordinated management of noxious and invasive weeds in the river corridor.
What problem is this funding intended to address?
The opportunity targets the Milk River functioning as a natural corridor that helps noxious and invasive weeds spread both upstream and downstream. Because waterways and riparian zones can move seeds and plant fragments efficiently, infestations can expand quickly and can repeatedly reinvade areas that have already been treated.
Where will the work take place?
The project area is along the Milk River shoreline from Fresno Dam downstream to the confluence with the Missouri River in Montana, including the river and its tributaries as relevant to the coordinated effort described.
What specific area is targeted for treatment?
The announcement calls for treating a 200-foot buffer on each side of the Milk River shoreline along the specified stretch (from Fresno Dam to the Missouri River confluence).
What is the primary goal of the project?
The intent is to reduce or eliminate priority noxious and invasive weeds within the riparian corridor so the river system can recover toward "almost pristine" conditions and improve long-term ecological outcomes.
Why is a coordinated approach important for this project?
Rivers cross multiple landownerships and jurisdictions (federal, state, local, and private). Weed control is generally most effective when planned and implemented consistently across boundaries, especially in a connected corridor where reinvasion can occur from untreated upstream or adjacent areas.
