Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "RECOVERY ACT - BLM OR WA Youth Employment Opportunity - Spokane District Shrub Steppe Habitat Restoration" (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM OR RFA 10 1916), was a discretionary American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funded program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Oregon/Washington Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and was designed to combine two main goals: creating paid, hands-on employment for qualified youth crews in local Oregon and Washington communities, and delivering tangible habitat restoration and wildlife-safety improvements on public lands managed by BLM.
The work was focused specifically in Washington within the Wenatchee Resource Area of the BLM Spokane District Office. The core on-the-ground activities centered on shrub-steppe and riparian habitat protection through fence-related restoration. Youth crews would construct and maintain fences intended to protect sensitive wildlife and riparian areas, and they would also improve the safety of existing infrastructure. That included flagging fences to make them more visible to flying or moving wildlife and installing wildlife escape ramps on water troughs. These measures were intended to reduce preventable injuries and deaths, particularly for greater sage-grouse (noted in the announcement as a candidate for federal listing at the time) as well as other wildlife species that can collide with fences or become trapped in troughs.
A significant planning and long-term management component was also built into the project. Crews would inventory and map fences and water developments, with the resulting data incorporated into a GIS system. The intent was to leave BLM with improved baseline information that would make future maintenance more efficient, strengthen future land management and restoration planning, and help identify whether additional habitat projects were needed in the area over time.
In terms of funding, the opportunity listed an estimated total of $112,000, with an award ceiling of $112,000 and an award floor of $1, and the agency anticipated making up to three awards. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement. The notice was posted February 22, 2010, created February 25, 2010, and closed March 22, 2010, with an archive date of April 21, 2010. Applicants were directed to find full details at Grants.gov, and the listed contact for access issues was Pamella M. Sterling (psterlin@blm.gov).
