Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00195
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA Curry County Sudden Oak Death Treatment" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding solicitation aimed at continuing on-the-ground efforts to contain and control Sudden Oak Death (SOD) in Curry County, Oregon. SOD is a serious forest disease caused by the invasive plant pathogen Phytophthora ramorum. The core purpose of the project is straightforward: support sustained treatment work that prevents the disease from spreading beyond the existing USDA quarantine boundary, keeping the outbreak contained within the quarantined area of Curry County where it is currently limited in Oregon.
This opportunity is rooted in a long-running, multi-agency quarantine and eradication strategy. Oregon first moved to limit the disease in 2001 when the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) established an emergency quarantine under ORS 603-052-1230. That quarantine restricts the movement of host plant material out of the quarantine area and requires mandatory eradication actions, reflecting the high risk of human-assisted spread through infected plants, wood, or other host materials. In 2010, ODA and USDA-APHIS established additional quarantines to further slow and prevent expansion. By 2015, the regulated area expanded significantly and ultimately encompassed about 515 square miles of Curry County, described as roughly 31 percent of the county. The BLM notes that aggressive treatment by BLM and its partners has helped keep the pathogen confined to the USDA quarantine zone in Curry County.
The description emphasizes why continued treatment matters: SOD is lethal to tanoak, a key component of many southwest Oregon forest ecosystems, and it has also been found infecting other species such as evergreen huckleberry, Pacific rhododendron, and Douglas-fir. The disease can show up in different ways depending on the host, including leaf spots, needle and tip blight, shoot-tip dieback, and canker formations. A key practical point in the announcement is that these symptoms are not unique to SOD; many other pathogens can cause similar damage, so laboratory testing is the only reliable way to confirm Phytophthora ramorum. That framing signals that treatment and containment work is typically tied to monitoring, sampling, and confirmed detections rather than visual diagnosis alone.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary federal assistance opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to be substantially involved with the recipient during project implementation (for example, coordination on methods, priorities, reporting, or treatment planning). The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is listed under CFDA number 15.233. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, indicating that a wide range of applicant types may apply, subject to any additional eligibility language that may appear in the full notice. The agency is the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management.
The opportunity number is L17AS00195. It was created on June 30, 2017, with an original closing date of August 29, 2017. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $200,000, and the BLM anticipated making about three awards. Overall, the funding is intended to support a partner organization that can help carry out continued SOD treatment work in Curry County, reinforcing the broader quarantine-based containment strategy and reducing the risk of the pathogen expanding into new areas of Oregon forests.Apply for L17AS00195
