Opportunity Summary:
The "Recovery Act BLM CO Dolores River Tamarisk Treatment" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: RECOVERY ACT BLM CO RFA10 1504) was a U.S. Department of the Interior funding announcement focused on habitat restoration work along the Dolores River in Colorado, specifically targeting tamarisk treatment. Tamarisk (often called saltcedar) is a widespread invasive plant in riparian corridors across the Southwest, and projects like this typically aim to reduce its dominance to improve native vegetation, wildlife habitat quality, streamside ecological function, and overall river corridor health. The opportunity was categorized under the Recovery Act, indicating it was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act-era investments intended to support conservation work while also putting people to work through on-the-ground restoration activities.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was offering a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $48,000. The funding instrument type and opportunity category were both listed as "Other," which usually signals a non-standard or specifically structured award mechanism compared with typical grants or cooperative agreements, although applications were still submitted through Grants.gov. The program was associated with CFDA 15.231, "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management," which aligns with projects that conserve or restore habitats and manage natural resources, including efforts to control invasive species in sensitive ecosystems.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was broadly open to applicants of any entity type, subject to any clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement text. Importantly, the listing indicated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The posting date and creation date were both February 19, 2010, and the application deadline was March 15, 2010, with the archive date shown as March 31, 2010. Interested applicants were directed to apply via Grants.gov, and anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically was instructed to contact Yvonne Pier at yvonnepier@blm.gov for assistance.
