Opportunity Summary:
The Northeast Oregon Noxious Weed Project is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity aimed at slowing and reversing the spread of noxious weeds that are rapidly displacing native rangelands in northeast Oregon. The underlying problem the program targets is broad ecological degradation caused by invasive and noxious plants, including harm to native plant communities, damage to riparian vegetation, and knock-on effects such as increased wildland fire frequency and severity and negative impacts on wildlife habitat. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to support on-the-ground work that identifies where infestations are occurring and then carries out coordinated management and control efforts to reduce or eliminate priority weed species.
The geographic focus is Baker, Union, and Wallowa Counties, with work expected to occur across a patchwork of land ownerships. The project specifically calls out Federal and state lands as well as adjoining private lands, which signals an emphasis on cross-boundary coordination. That matters for weed management because infestations do not respect jurisdictional lines; treating only one ownership can be ineffective if nearby untreated areas continually re-seed and re-infest managed sites. Activities supported by the award are described as survey, management, and control, meaning applicants should expect to combine inventory and mapping with implementation actions (for example, treatment planning and control measures appropriate to the target species and site conditions), and likely include monitoring to track effectiveness over time.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more hands-on partnership model than a standard grant, with the BLM expecting substantial involvement during the period of performance (such as coordination on work plans, priorities, reporting, or technical guidance). The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management. The program includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so recipients should be prepared to contribute non-federal match (cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions, depending on the terms) as part of the total project budget.
The announcement anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $225,000. The listed award ceiling is $95,000 and the award floor is $0, suggesting proposals could vary widely in size, but would not exceed $95,000 for a single award under the stated ceiling. Eligible applicants are limited to county governments, which aligns with the project area being defined by counties and reflects the common role counties play in noxious weed control programs and local coordination. Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted on August 30, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2008, and it was archived on October 8, 2008.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Pamella Sterling, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 503-808-6221. Overall, the opportunity is structured to fund a county-led, multi-jurisdictional weed survey and treatment effort in northeast Oregon, focused on protecting rangeland and riparian ecosystems and reducing secondary impacts like heightened wildfire risk and wildlife habitat degradation.
