Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Raptor Monitoring for the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (CCS)" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on wildlife monitoring in an area of intensive natural gas development in Wyoming. It is tied to the Pinedale Anticline Record of Decision (ROD), which set out shared responsibilities for BLM and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) to balance wildlife management with energy development. Those commitments led to the creation of the Pinedale Anticline Project Office (PAPO) mitigation team and the PAPO board, which coordinate mitigation and monitoring work connected to development impacts.
The main purpose of the project is straightforward: conduct field surveys to determine the activity status and productivity of raptor nests that are known to be active or are suspected to be active. The survey area includes the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA) itself plus a 1.0 mile buffer around it, indicating the monitoring is meant to capture both direct and nearby effects around the core development footprint. The description also notes coordination with burrowing owl surveys, with BLM and the PAPO mitigation team partnering on those efforts while also overseeing the quality of how the work is carried out and ensuring data are properly entered. In practice, that means the project is not just about collecting observations in the field, but also about consistent implementation standards, quality control, and reliable data management so results can be used for ongoing mitigation decisions.
This opportunity is listed as discretionary funding under the Natural Resources category, using a cooperative agreement instrument, and it falls under CFDA 15.238 (Challenge Cost Share). Even though it is under the Challenge Cost Share program number, the announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement for this award. The total funding amount is set at $25,000, with an award floor and ceiling both at $25,000, and BLM expected to make one award.
A key point is that this posting is not a competitive request for applications. It is a public notice that BLM intends to fund the project without full and open competition, and it identifies WGFD as the eligible applicant. In other words, it is essentially a sole-source notice rather than an open solicitation. The posting date was July 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 16, 2010, and an archive date of September 30, 2010. The period of agreement is one year, indicating the work is intended to be completed within a single field season or annual monitoring cycle.
For administrative questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Ilze J. Karklins Powers, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 307-775-6293 or ipowers@blm.gov, and the listing references Grants.gov for the public notice details.
