Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Raptor Monitoring for the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (MLR)" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding action focused on wildlife monitoring in an area influenced by 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 manage wildlife resources alongside energy development. That ROD structure led to the creation of the PAPO mitigation team and the PAPO board, which coordinate mitigation and monitoring work connected to development impacts in the Pinedale Anticline Project Area.
The core purpose of the project is raptor nest monitoring, specifically conducting activity-status and productivity surveys for active or suspected active raptor nests. The surveys are to take place within the Pinedale Anticline Project Area (PAPA) and extend into a one-mile buffer around it, reflecting an intent to capture nesting activity both inside the development footprint and in nearby surrounding habitat that could also be affected. In addition to general raptor nest monitoring, the description notes coordination on burrowing owl surveys, with BLM and the PAPO mitigation team partnering on field efforts and also overseeing quality control for how the work is carried out and how data are entered and managed. The emphasis on implementation quality and data input suggests the project is meant to produce reliable, management-ready information that can be used to track trends, evaluate mitigation effectiveness, and inform ongoing operational decisions.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement under the natural resources funding activity category, with a one-year period of performance. The total funding amount is stated as $77,156, and both the award ceiling and floor are the same, indicating BLM anticipated a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible budgets. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
Although the listing appears in the grants system, it is not a competitive solicitation. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and serves as a public notice of BLMs intent to fund the work without full and open competition. The named eligible applicant is the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, indicating the award was intended for WGFD as the implementing partner. The posting date was July 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 16, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on September 30, 2010. The CFDA program reference is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. For administrative questions, the listed grants management contact is Ilze J Karklins Powers at BLM (307-775-6293, ipowers@blm.gov).
