Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act BLM NV Duck Creek Basin Route Restoration grant opportunity was a one-time American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funded project administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on restoring and rehabilitating off-highway vehicle (OHV) routes in the Duck Creek Basin area of Nevada. The core purpose was to carry out on-the-ground route restoration actions identified in the Duck Creek Travel Plan, covering nearly 60 miles of routes across both Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service lands. In practical terms, the project aimed to reduce the impacts of unauthorized or degraded travel routes, improve land condition, and support improved travel management through physical rehabilitation and better route identification.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would carry out the work in coordination with the agency rather than operating fully independently. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with total funding set at exactly $95,000 (award floor and ceiling were both $95,000), and there was no cost-share or matching requirement. The funding fell under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, and was categorized as a Recovery Act activity.
The work scope emphasized hands-on restoration techniques commonly used to rehabilitate OHV disturbances and discourage further use of closed or damaged routes. Proposed methods included road decompaction to loosen compacted soils and improve infiltration and revegetation potential, vertical mulching (often involving placing woody material upright or in a manner that breaks up the visual line of the route and creates a physical deterrent), and installation of barriers to prevent continued motorized access where routes are being closed or restored. The project also included signing to clarify route status and guide responsible travel behavior, followed by a final route inventory to document completed work and verify route conditions after rehabilitation.
A key Recovery Act goal built into the project description was short-term employment. The announcement stated that rehabilitation activities were expected to employ between 4 and 10 people during the 2010 summer field season, reflecting ARRA’s emphasis on putting people to work quickly through ready-to-implement conservation and restoration projects.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on December 28, 2009, with creation dated January 4, 2010. The application window closed on January 28, 2010, and the opportunity was archived on February 28, 2010. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any applicant type could apply as long as they met any requirements described in the full announcement. The federal accounting reference included TAS 14 1108, indicating the Treasury account symbol tied to the funding source.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Susan Kaller, Grants Management Officer, reachable by email at skaller@blm.gov, and the announcement was available through Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number RECOVERY ACT BLM NV RFA10 1857.
