Opportunity Summary:
The Pioche Caselton Wildland Urban Interface Project (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00098) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity focused on reducing hazardous fuels in and around the wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities of Pioche and Caselton. The central purpose is wildfire risk reduction with an emphasis on protecting life safety, private property, and key community infrastructure, while also safeguarding cultural and historic resources that could be damaged or destroyed during a fire. The project is positioned as a practical on-the-ground implementation effort that supports the broader Lincoln County Fire Hazard Assessment by translating the assessment findings into tangible fuels reduction work on private lands located within the WUI.
Funding is offered as a cooperative agreement under the National Fire Plan, specifically within the Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance program (CFDA 15.228). The opportunity anticipates a single award, with total estimated funding of $45,000. The award amount is fixed, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $45,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can reduce barriers for eligible organizations that may have limited ability to provide non-federal match.
A key operational feature of this project is the use of a prison workforce, along with associated equipment and technical expertise, to carry out fuels reduction and forestry practices. This indicates the project is designed to directly support field implementation, such as thinning, removal of hazardous vegetation, defensible space work, and related treatments that lower fire intensity and slow fire spread near homes and community assets. Because the work is planned on private lands within the WUI, the project is oriented toward community protection where wildfire consequences are typically highest, and where treatments can have a strong benefit in reducing structure losses and improving firefighter safety.
Eligible applicants are broad and include various levels of government and nonprofit or educational institutions: special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, city or township governments, county governments, state governments, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding higher education institutions in that nonprofit category). The posting date was May 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 20, 2011, and an archive date of June 13, 2011, indicating it was a short application window and is now archived.
