Opportunity Summary:
The Tri County Weed Treatment and Inventory Project (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00081) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity focused on invasive and noxious plant management under CFDA 15.230. The project was designed to support continued, coordinated weed inventory and treatment work on lands managed through the BLM Ely District Office, with an emphasis on working across boundaries and jurisdictions. The overall intent was to keep momentum going on existing weed control efforts by bringing together state and local government partners and private landowners to map infestations, carry out treatment, and track whether earlier treatments were working over time. In addition to on-the-ground control, the project also aimed to broaden public awareness of noxious weed issues, reflecting a management approach that combines field action with outreach and education so prevention and early detection can improve.
A specific priority called out in the announcement was strengthening and expanding containment of tall whitetop infestations in Railroad Valley, spanning both the Ely and Battle Mountain Districts. In practical terms, that focus signals a targeted push to keep a serious invasive plant problem from spreading further by improving containment lines, treating known patches, and likely improving inventory data so managers can identify new satellite populations early. The inclusion of two BLM districts highlights that the weed issue was not confined to a single administrative unit and that the grant was meant to encourage coordinated action at the landscape level rather than piecemeal treatment.
The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply issuing funds. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $196,222, and both the award ceiling and floor were listed as $196,222, indicating a fixed, one-award funding plan rather than a range of possible award sizes. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, which typically reduces barriers for eligible applicants and allows the federal funds to cover the approved project costs without requiring non-federal match.
Eligibility was limited to governmental entities, specifically county governments, special district governments, and state governments. The posting and application timeline was short: it was posted and created on May 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 27, 2011, and it was later archived on June 27, 2011. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Eddie W. Bell, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 775-861-6435 and by email at eddiebell@blm.gov (also listed as ebell@blm.gov).
