Opportunity Information: Apply for L16AS00035
The BLM Idaho Twin Falls District Transportation Corridor Fire Mitigation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00035) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the Bureau of Land Management focused on natural resources work in south-central Idaho. The core purpose is to reduce the likelihood of wildfire ignitions and lessen wildfire impacts in areas adjacent to major transportation routes, including interstates, highways, and other travel corridors. In practical terms, the program is aimed at improving public and infrastructure safety by addressing fire risk where vehicles, roadside activities, and human access can increase ignition potential, and where a fast-moving fire could quickly threaten motorists, nearby communities, or key transportation infrastructure.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a check and stepping back. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.228 and is open to unrestricted applicants, meaning there are no special eligibility limitations stated in the source data and a broad range of organizations may apply. The award has a ceiling of $100,000, with BLM expecting to make one award, suggesting this is intended as a targeted, single-project effort rather than a large multi-recipient program.
The opportunity was created on February 18, 2016, and the original application closing date was April 18, 2016. Overall, the grant is designed to support on-the-ground mitigation actions that reduce wildfire starts and improve resilience along transportation corridors in the Twin Falls District area, helping limit both the probability of roadside fires and the consequences if a wildfire occurs near these heavily traveled routes.Apply for L16AS00035
