Opportunity Summary:
The "Steptoe Valley Noxious Invasive Weed Education and Research SNPLMA Round 8 Project" notice is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public announcement explaining its intent to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement, without full and open competition. In other words, it is not a solicitation or a call for new applications. Instead, it serves as formal notice that the BLM plans to move forward with a pre-identified effort tied to a Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA) Round 8 award connected to eastern Nevada landscape restoration work.
The project centers on the Steptoe Valley Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) and focuses on three connected work areas: inventory, treatment, and outreach related to noxious and invasive weeds across the Steptoe Valley. A major emphasis is improving understanding of where infestations occur, applying and evaluating control actions, and expanding education so that weed management is more consistent and effective across jurisdictional boundaries. The BLM Ely Field Office is the office associated with the nomination and award of the SNPLMA-funded restoration project that supports this work.
A key partner identified for implementing the work is the Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition (ENLC), described as an established BLM partner with significant experience in noxious weed eradication across the Great Basin based on prior cooperative efforts. The notice highlights that ENLC will be used to help achieve a stronger, more practical understanding of invasive weed conditions in the valley and to support coordinated management actions. The intent is that ENLCs experience and relationships will help translate field data and treatment results into better on-the-ground outcomes.
The technical focus includes research and evaluation of treatment methods for the valleys major target species, hoary cress. By testing and assessing different control approaches, the project aims to identify more effective techniques that can be applied broadly by land managers. The expected outcome is improved treatment effectiveness, better information for planning future actions, and stronger working relationships with private landowners, which is often critical because weed infestations cross property lines and require coordinated responses to be contained or eliminated.
The notice states that data will be collected and analyzed and that resulting information will be made available to support the shared goals of the BLM and ENLC, as well as to benefit the public. The broader objective is to increase weed education and improve treatment success across all landowners, thereby increasing the likelihood of containing and potentially eradicating noxious weeds in the Steptoe Valley.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). It anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $357,000 and an award amount listed at $119,000 (both the ceiling and floor are shown as $119,000, indicating a fixed anticipated award size for the action described). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), although the notice makes clear that this posting is not requesting applications. The posting date is June 7, 2008, with a closing date of June 21, 2008, and an archive date of June 28, 2008. The listed contact for access or assistance is Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 775-861-6559 or skaller@blm.gov.
