Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00100
The BLM NV Battle Mountain District Weed Treatment, Inventory, Monitoring, and Site Rehabilitation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00100) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resources work under CFDA 15.230. The central purpose is to improve how invasive plants and noxious weeds are identified, treated, and tracked over time by coordinating efforts across boundaries. The program is designed around the practical reality that weed infestations do not stay within a single fence line or agency jurisdiction; they spread from public to private lands and back again, creating a shared problem for BLM field offices, conservation districts, and other land managers and landowners in the Battle Mountain District area.
At its core, the grant supports joint, on-the-ground activities that make weed management more efficient and effective. That includes inventory work (locating and documenting infestations), treatment (implementing actions to control or reduce invasive and noxious weeds), monitoring (checking results and reinfestation trends over time), and site rehabilitation (helping treated areas recover so they are less likely to be reinvaded). The emphasis on a cooperative agreement signals that BLM expects substantial coordination and shared involvement rather than a simple pass-through grant relationship, with partners working alongside BLM to combine labor, equipment, funding, and technical expertise.
The opportunity highlights why partnership matters: local BLM offices and conservation districts often face limited budgets and capacity, and pooling scarce financial, capital, and technical resources can stretch dollars further while producing more consistent results across the landscape. By coordinating treatments and follow-up monitoring across both BLM-managed public lands and nearby private lands, the program aims to reduce the jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction “ping-pong” effect where weeds are controlled in one place only to be reintroduced from an untreated neighboring area.
From an administrative standpoint, the posting was created on May 22, 2017, with an original closing date of June 23, 2017. The award ceiling listed is $5,000, with an expectation of about four awards. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility details that may appear in the full announcement text. Overall, the opportunity is geared toward small, locally coordinated projects that directly address invasive plant and noxious weed issues through shared planning and implementation, with an end goal of healthier, more resilient lands and reduced long-term weed management costs.Apply for L17AS00100

What CFDA program is this associated with?

What is the overall purpose of the program?
The central purpose is to improve how invasive plants and noxious weeds are identified, treated, and tracked over time by coordinating efforts across boundaries. The program is designed around the idea that weed infestations cross fence lines and jurisdictions, spreading between public and private lands.
What kinds of projects or activities does this funding support?
The opportunity supports joint, on-the-ground weed management work, including:
- Inventory: locating and documenting infestations
- Treatment: implementing actions to control or reduce invasive and noxious weeds
- Monitoring: checking results and reinfestation trends over time
- Site rehabilitation: helping treated areas recover so they are less likely to be reinvaded
Why does the opportunity emphasize coordination across boundaries?
The opportunity is built on the practical reality that weeds do not remain within a single property boundary or agency jurisdiction. Without coordinated action, weeds can be controlled in one place and then reintroduced from an untreated neighboring area (including back-and-forth movement between public and private lands).

The description emphasizes coordinating treatments and follow-up monitoring across both BLM-managed public lands and nearby private lands to reduce reinfestation and improve consistency across the landscape.

What problem is the program trying to solve in practical terms?
The program aims to avoid the jurisdiction-to-jurisdiction "ping-pong" effect, where weeds are treated in one location but quickly return because nearby areas were not treated or monitored in a coordinated way.
How does the opportunity describe the role of partnerships?
It highlights that local BLM offices and conservation districts often face limited budgets and capacity, and that pooling financial, capital, and technical resources can stretch dollars further while producing more consistent results across the landscape.
