Opportunity Summary:
The "Recovery Act - Milk River Coordinated Weed Management Areas in Montana" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ARRA BLM MT NOI09 1018) is a U.S. Department of the Interior grant announcement focused on controlling noxious and invasive weeds along the Milk River in northeastern Montana. The work targets a 200-foot-wide corridor along the river and spans four counties: Blaine, Hill, Phillips, and Valley. The project is described as a continuing, on-the-ground treatment effort aimed at reducing existing infestations and preventing further spread of invasive and noxious plant species that threaten riparian habitat, agricultural lands, and native vegetation.
Funding is provided under the Recovery Act and is offered as a discretionary Cooperative Agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to be actively involved in the project beyond simply issuing funds, typically through coordination, technical input, or shared oversight. The program aligns with CFDA 15.230 (Invasive and Noxious Plant Management), which supports activities like invasive plant treatment, suppression, and related management actions intended to protect public lands and natural resources. The announcement indicates that only one award is expected.
The total funding available is estimated at $88,000, and the award ceiling is also $88,000, effectively making this a single-project, single-recipient opportunity at that amount. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, so the recipient is not obligated to contribute non-federal dollars as a condition of the award. Although the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted" on the summary data, the description clearly states the award is intended for the Blaine County Weed District in order to continue this established treatment program, suggesting the competition is effectively directed toward that entity due to ongoing coordination and local implementation capacity.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted July 29, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2009, and an archive date of September 30, 2009, indicating it was a time-limited Recovery Act funding action. For applicants or stakeholders needing the full announcement materials, the listing points to Grants.gov as the source for the complete details. The grants management contact provided for assistance accessing the announcement is Lori J. Anderson (landerso@blm.gov), identified as the Grants Management Officer.
