Opportunity Summary:
The Table Mountain and Lamont Riparian Seep Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00100) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement opportunity administered through the Rawlins Field Office in Wyoming. The project focused on protecting and restoring small but important riparian water sources, specifically springs and seeps located east of Lamont near Table Mountain in Carbon County, WY. The core on-the-ground work involved constructing two livestock exclosures around seep and spring source areas, then piping water from those protected sources to a tire trough (tire tank) positioned a short distance away. This design keeps cattle from trampling and degrading the sensitive wet areas at the source while still providing reliable water access for livestock and big game at the trough.
The main restoration purpose was to protect source water, support a healthier local water table, and improve riparian vegetation conditions in the immediate vicinity of the seeps. By physically fencing off the seep heads and spring source zones, the project aimed to reduce soil compaction, bank and ground disturbance, and direct impacts to emergent wetland plants that are often damaged by repeated grazing and hoof action. The exclosures were described as being built with wood posts and rail tops with wire underneath, a configuration intended to exclude cattle effectively while still meeting practical durability needs in the field. Water delivery to an off-site trough was a key part of the approach, because it shifts animal congregation away from the wettest and most erosion-prone areas.
A major component of the opportunity was workforce development and applied learning. The recipient organization (limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education) would participate directly in the construction effort and would also receive structured training on exclosure design, construction methods, and how those design choices can be used to achieve multiple resource goals. The announcement ties the project to broader rangeland and watershed management planning, stating that these exclosure projects were developed from interdisciplinary field assessments connected to the Ferris-Seminoe watershed assessment and were intended to help the area meet the Standards and Guidelines for Healthy Rangelands. In other words, the work was positioned not only as a small infrastructure build, but as a practical restoration action aligned with formal land health evaluations and rangeland standards.
The project management plan laid out a two-week field effort during summer 2010, structured around a 10-day tour for an eight-person crew. It specified eight hands-on work days, plus travel days at either end of the tour, and required at least eight hours of academic participation or education. Training and safety/operations communication were built into the schedule: the first project day included a two-hour orientation, each distinct task was to be paired with a one-hour briefing session, and the final day included at least a one-hour wrap-up to review outcomes and lessons learned.
Financially, the opportunity was a single anticipated award totaling $11,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $11,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number listed was 15.237 (Rangeland Resource Management). The opportunity was posted May 24, 2010, with an application closing date of June 5, 2010, and it was later archived on July 31, 2010. The listed agency contact for access issues and grants management questions was Ilze J. Karklins Powers, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 307-775-6293 and ipowers@blm.gov.
FAQs - Table Mountain and Lamont Riparian Seep Restoration Project (L10AS00100)
What is the Table Mountain and Lamont Riparian Seep Restoration Project?
It is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement opportunity administered through the Rawlins Field Office in Wyoming to protect and restore small riparian water sources (springs and seeps) near Table Mountain, east of Lamont, in Carbon County, Wyoming.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON) for this grant?
The Funding Opportunity Number is L10AS00100.
Which agency offered and administered this opportunity?
The opportunity was offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and administered through BLM's Rawlins Field Office in Wyoming.
Where is the project located?
The project area was located east of Lamont near Table Mountain in Carbon County, Wyoming, and focused on springs and seeps in that area.
What natural resources does the project focus on?
The project focused on riparian water sources, specifically small springs and seeps, and the surrounding wetland/riparian vegetation and soils associated with those source areas.
What was the main restoration goal of the project?
The main goal was to protect source water, support a healthier local water table, and improve riparian vegetation conditions around seep heads and spring source zones by reducing physical damage from livestock.
What on-the-ground work was expected under this cooperative agreement?
The core field work involved constructing two livestock exclosures around seep and spring source areas, and then piping water from those protected sources to an off-site tire trough (tire tank) located a short distance away.
How many exclosures were to be built?
Two livestock exclosures were to be constructed around seep and spring source areas.
What is an exclosure in the context of this project?
An exclosure is a fenced-off area designed to keep cattle out of sensitive seep heads and spring source zones so the wet soils and emergent vegetation are not trampled, compacted, or otherwise degraded.
Why was fencing (exclosures) considered necessary?
The fencing was intended to reduce soil compaction, bank and ground disturbance, and direct impacts to emergent wetland plants caused by repeated grazing and hoof action at the wet source areas.
What materials or configuration were specified for the exclosures?
The exclosures were described as being built with wood posts and rail tops with wire underneath, a configuration intended to exclude cattle effectively while remaining durable for field conditions.
Why was water piped to a tire trough instead of letting livestock drink at the spring or seep?
Piping water to a trough shifts livestock congregation away from the wettest and most erosion-prone source areas, helping protect the seep heads and spring source zones while still providing reliable water access for livestock and big game.
What type of water trough was used?
The design referenced a tire trough (also described as a tire tank) placed a short distance away from the protected source.
Who could apply for this opportunity?
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education.
Was the project designed to include workforce development or training?
Yes. A major component was workforce development and applied learning. The recipient organization was expected to participate directly in construction and receive structured training on exclosure design, construction methods, and how design choices support multiple resource goals.
What kinds of training activities were included?
The plan included a two-hour orientation on the first project day, one-hour briefing sessions paired with each distinct task, and at least a one-hour wrap-up on the final day to review outcomes and lessons learned.
Was there a minimum education or academic participation requirement?
Yes. The schedule required at least eight hours of academic participation or education.
How long was the planned field effort?
