Opportunity Summary:
The Water Quality Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number WY NOI08 9010) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement. Its main purpose is to support water quality protections tied to oil and gas development in Wyoming by funding a dedicated Underground Injection Control (UIC) permit writer position within the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ). In practical terms, the grant is designed to bolster WDEQ staffing capacity so the agency can keep up with UIC permit processing demands and the related coordination work that occurs between agencies when oil and gas activity expands.
The funded position is intended to focus on UIC permitting and interagency workload needs connected to two specific BLM Wyoming Field Offices: Buffalo and Rawlins. These offices are identified as Section 365 Pilot Offices, signaling that they are part of a pilot framework where permitting and environmental review processes may be under heightened attention or specialized procedures, which can increase the need for consistent, technically sound permit writing and timely coordination between BLM and state regulators. By placing resources directly into the permit-writing function, the project aims to reduce bottlenecks, improve consistency and throughput in permit decisions, and strengthen oversight of injection-related activities that can affect groundwater and overall water quality.
The anticipated project duration is five years, with a total project period that cannot exceed 60 months. Continued funding across the multi-year period is not automatic; BLM indicates it will consider ongoing support if the recipient demonstrates progress that BLM views as satisfactory toward program goals and if BLM determines continuation is in the government’s best interest, or if funding remains available. This structure reflects a performance- and funding-dependent continuation approach, even though the overall intent is a five-year effort.
In terms of funding scale, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $515,823, with an award ceiling of $95,235 and an award floor of $0. Only one award is expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means the state applicant is not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds to participate. Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the intended partner is explicitly the State of Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, consistent with the staffing purpose of the project. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing provided is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), reflecting the broader resource management context in which water quality and injection control oversight fits on public lands affected by energy development.
Key dates show the announcement was posted July 9, 2008, with an original and current closing date of July 16, 2008, and an archive date of August 15, 2008, indicating a short application window typical of a targeted cooperative agreement where the partner and scope are largely predefined. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact is Ilze Karklins Powers, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 307-775-6293.
