Recovery Act Redding FO Trinity River Habitat | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The "Recovery Act Redding FO Trinity River Habitat" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA RFA 09 2003) was a U.S. Department of the Interior grant announcement administered through the Bureau of Land Management in California. It was issued as part of Recovery Act (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) funding and was designed to support on-the-ground natural resource work tied to habitat conditions in the Trinity River area. The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination on work plans, deliverables, or technical oversight, rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant.

The core purpose of the opportunity was to help meet land management objectives by protecting and restoring public lands. The types of projects envisioned were practical habitat and watershed actions, including fish, wildlife, and botanical survey and monitoring efforts to establish baseline conditions and track changes over time. It also included a reservoir enhancement component, specifically noting dam stabilization as an eligible activity, which points to reducing risks or improving infrastructure conditions in ways that support habitat protection and long-term resource management. Another major focus was invasive or exotic species work, including surveys to identify problem species and direct control actions to limit their spread and impact. In addition, watershed restoration tasks were emphasized, particularly measures intended to reduce sediment production in tributaries. The announcement highlighted reducing or limiting access-related disturbance as a strategy, which commonly refers to addressing erosion and sediment sources associated with roads, trails, stream crossings, and other human access routes that can degrade water quality and aquatic habitat.

Financially, the opportunity was structured around a single award. The expected number of awards was one, with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $450,000, indicating the agency anticipated funding one project at that exact amount rather than multiple smaller projects or a range of award sizes. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility or award. The CFDA program number associated with the funding was 15.231, identified as Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which aligns with the habitat, monitoring, invasive species, and watershed restoration scope described.

Eligibility was aimed at local or community-based public and mission-driven entities. The listing identifies county governments as eligible applicants, and the eligibility information also references county government entities along with Resource Conservation Districts or nonprofit agencies, suggesting a preference for organizations with an established role in local conservation implementation, land stewardship, and collaboration with federal land managers. The opportunity category was labeled "Other," with an activity category tied to the Recovery Act, reflecting the special funding stream and policy emphasis on timely, job-supporting, and implementation-ready conservation work.

In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted on September 1, 2009, created on September 2, 2009, and had an original and current closing date of September 11, 2009, indicating a very short application window of roughly ten days. The archive date was September 30, 2009, meaning the announcement was formally closed and stored after that point. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for full announcement materials. For access issues or help obtaining the full announcement electronically, the contact listed was Leona B. Parker at lparker@blm.gov.
