Opportunity Summary:
The Wetmore Emergency Stabilization Plan, in Wetmore, Colorado (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00032) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support post-fire emergency stabilization work in the Wetmore area. The purpose is to provide funding, along with technical assistance as needed, to carry out a stabilization plan that addresses urgent watershed and landscape risks following a burn event. The core goals are straightforward and practical: stop or reduce continued soil erosion, lower the likelihood and severity of flooding, and promote healthier rehabilitation and recovery of the burned landscape so the area can stabilize and begin returning to a more resilient condition.
This opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan - Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance, which generally focuses on helping communities and nearby landscapes reduce wildfire-related impacts and recover more safely afterward. In real terms, the project work funded here would typically involve implementing on-the-ground measures identified in an approved stabilization plan, such as erosion control treatments, slope and drainage stabilization, and other actions meant to reduce runoff, sediment movement, and downstream flood impacts. Because the announcement emphasizes both erosion and flooding prevention, the expected activities likely prioritize immediate risk-reduction measures that can be installed quickly and are designed to protect public safety, infrastructure, waterways, and natural resources while also supporting longer-term ecological recovery.
The total estimated funding for the opportunity is $124,000, and the award ceiling is also $124,000, indicating BLM anticipated making a single award up to that amount. The award floor is listed as $1,200, but the structure of the posting (ExpectedAwards: 1 with a ceiling matching total funding) suggests one primary recipient would be selected to complete the defined stabilization effort. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the financial barrier for eligible organizations and means the applicant is not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds to receive the award.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, excluding institutions of higher education). This eligibility setup points toward local or regional nonprofit partners that can implement restoration and stabilization work, coordinate with land managers, and possibly engage community stakeholders, contractors, or volunteers, while working closely with BLM under the cooperative agreement model. A cooperative agreement typically indicates BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as providing technical guidance, coordinating on treatment design or placement, and ensuring the work aligns with the stabilization plan and federal requirements.
Key dates in the posting show it was originally posted on February 11, 2013, with a creation date of February 27, 2013. The original closing date was February 21, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of March 7, 2013, and the opportunity archive date is March 29, 2013. Applicants were directed to use the application materials and instructions available through the announcement (via the application tab referenced in the listing), which would typically include detailed scope, reporting requirements, budget guidance, and submission steps.
For questions or for help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Ruth A. Raisanen at BLM, reachable by phone at 303-239-3605 or by email at rraisane@blm.gov.
