Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Act BLM WY Killdeer Wetlands opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00017) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) notice explaining the agency's intent to fund a specific wetlands restoration project in Wyoming through a cooperative agreement. Importantly, it is not an open call for proposals and explicitly states it is not a request for applications; instead, it serves as public notice that BLM plans to make an award without full and open competition.
The project focuses on rehabilitating the Killdeer Wetlands, a roughly 50-acre area associated with historic Green River channel features such as old river channels and oxbows. Before construction of Fontenelle Dam, these features were naturally supplied by backflows and periodic flooding from the Green River. After the dam altered river hydrology, the wetland area no longer functioned as a reliable, perennial wetland. The proposed work is intended to restore dependable water delivery to the site, rebuild the wetland's functionality, and raise the surrounding water table. By increasing water availability and groundwater levels, the project aims to encourage riparian vegetation growth and improve overall wetland conditions, resulting in stronger habitat for waterfowl, shorebirds, and other wildlife. The announcement also emphasizes the community value of the restored site, describing it as a recreational asset for local residents as well as the broader southwest Wyoming area.
BLM notes that this effort builds on earlier work completed in 1996, when the agency partnered on initial construction elements including an intake structure, ditch structure, ditch grading, and a dam and outlet structure. This later phase would improve those existing features and help complete or advance the wetland development, with BLM funds being combined with partner contributions to support construction and completion activities.
From a policy and funding standpoint, the award is tied to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). BLM frames its involvement around ARRA goals: preserving and creating jobs, promoting economic recovery, and investing in infrastructure and environmental protection with long-term economic benefits, consistent with BLM ARRA directives for 2009 and 2010. The announcement highlights that jobs would be supported during the construction and development phase, while the long-term outcomes would include enhanced habitat, improved land health, and stronger wetland function.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. It lists an expected single award with total estimated funding of $20,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $20,000, indicating a fixed award amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for the federal award, even though the project anticipates combining federal funds with partner contributions. The CFDA program referenced is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), consistent with the stated intent to fund the identified project partner rather than solicit broad competition.
The notice was posted and created on April 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 16, 2010, and an archive date of May 31, 2010. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Ilze J. Karklins Powers, Grants Management Officer, at 307-775-6293 or ipowers@blm.gov. The announcement references Grants.gov as the source for the full posting and related details.
