Opportunity Summary:
The Van Sickle Phase II Fuels Reduction SNPLMA grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00039) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management (CFDA 15.235) authority. The project is centered on hazardous fuels reduction work in Nevada, specifically aimed at reducing wildfire risk in and around a State Park setting where a fire could otherwise move downslope toward nearby residential areas.
The core purpose of the project is to lower the likelihood that a wildland fire starting within the project area would spread rapidly and become difficult to control before reaching the lower Kingsbury residential neighborhood. To do that, the fuels work is designed to change vegetation conditions in a way that reduces fire intensity and improves suppression effectiveness. The opportunity emphasizes modifying the structure, age distribution, and species diversity of vegetation, which is a common fuels management approach intended to break up continuous or overly dense fuels, reduce ladder fuels, and generally create conditions where fire behavior is less extreme and more manageable for firefighters within the boundaries of the State Park.
In terms of on-the-ground deliverables, the State of Nevada is expected to complete hazardous fuels reduction treatment across 186 acres, treat 1,000 feet of stream management zone, and generate approximately 5,000 tons of chipped woody material. A notable operational component is that this chipped material is planned to be made available to the Carson City co-generation plant as an alternative fuel source, linking fuels reduction with beneficial use of biomass. This element can help offset disposal challenges while supporting renewable or alternative energy feedstock supply, and it reflects a practical approach to handling large volumes of removed vegetation.
The funding profile is straightforward and narrowly defined. The estimated total funding is $405,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $405,000, indicating the solicitation anticipated a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. The opportunity expected one award in total. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant, though cooperative agreements typically involve substantial federal involvement in project coordination or oversight compared to a standard grant.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on April 20, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 22, 2010, and it was archived on April 30, 2010. The very short application window suggests this may have been targeted, time-sensitive, or aligned with an existing project timeline or partner readiness.
For further details, the announcement directed applicants to Grants.gov and provided a BLM contact for access issues: Susan Kaller at 775-861-6559 and susankaller@blm.gov.
