Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered this discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Watershed Restoration Projects, Coos Bay, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00031), to support hands-on watershed restoration and conservation work in the Coos Bay District of Oregon. The core purpose was to improve watershed and aquatic habitat conditions by partnering with non-BLM entities to identify priority needs, plan restoration actions, and carry out on-the-ground projects across both federal and non-federal lands within the district. The program focus was strongly practical and implementation-oriented, aiming to reduce human-caused impacts to streams and riparian areas and to improve overall ecological function.
The types of projects highlighted in the announcement centered on common, high-impact restoration actions. This included culvert replacement to improve fish passage and stream connectivity, in-stream habitat improvement to enhance aquatic habitat quality, road sediment abatement to reduce sediment delivery into waterways (a frequent issue tied to older forest road networks), and control of unwanted invasive species encroachment to protect native plant communities and habitat structure. Taken together, these activities reflect a watershed-scale approach where transportation infrastructure, stream habitat complexity, and vegetation management are treated as connected drivers of water quality and ecosystem health.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would be expected to work closely with BLM staff during project development and implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The opportunity was categorized under the environment funding activity area and linked to CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The announcement anticipated making around six awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between a $500 minimum (award floor) and a $300,000 maximum (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching requirement was specified, which generally lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have large pools of cash or eligible match.
Eligibility was listed as "unrestricted," meaning the opportunity was broadly open to many types of entities, subject to any added clarifications that might have appeared in the full notice on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted on April 14, 2010, and the application deadline was May 28, 2010, with the program later archived on September 30, 2010. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the contact provided was Teresa Spickerman at BLM (phone: 503-808-6243, email: teresaespickerman@blm.gov). The full listing and any detailed requirements, forms, and submission instructions were available through Grants.gov at the link provided in the announcement.
