Opportunity Summary:
The Noxious Weed Eradication grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00107) is a discretionary funding program offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support on-the-ground efforts to eradicate or control noxious weeds on public lands in Montana. The basic purpose is to partner with county governments so they can carry out invasive and noxious plant management work that protects native habitats, rangelands, watersheds, and overall ecosystem health. The assistance is provided through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to be actively involved with the recipient during the project (for example, through coordination, shared planning, or joint oversight), rather than simply issuing funds with minimal agency participation.
This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management. Only county governments are listed as eligible applicants, reflecting the focus on working directly with Montana counties that have local weed management responsibilities and capacity. The program indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a formal match to receive an award, although in practice many cooperative projects may still leverage staff time, equipment, or partner contributions to stretch the federal dollars further.
Funding for the program is relatively small and intended to be distributed across multiple awards. The estimated total funding available is $100,000, with an expected four awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from a floor of $2,500 to a ceiling of $10,000, suggesting the program is geared toward targeted, practical weed control actions rather than large, multi-year restoration initiatives. These funds would typically support activities like mapping and treatment of infestations, coordinated control efforts across jurisdictional boundaries, herbicide application and integrated weed management approaches, monitoring and follow-up treatments, and other actions necessary to reduce or eliminate priority noxious weed populations on BLM-managed public lands.
Key dates show this was a 2013 funding round. The opportunity was posted June 18, 2013, created July 3, 2013, and originally closed July 18, 2013. The closing date was later extended to July 25, 2013, and the archive date is September 1, 2013. While those dates indicate the opportunity is no longer open, the details still describe how the program was structured and who to contact for historical documentation or related questions.
Applicants were directed to use the application materials available through the announcement (referenced via an "Application" tab in the original posting).
