Opportunity Information: Apply for P20AS00013
This opportunity, titled "Fuels Reduction (Fire), Conservation Activities (Litter Removal); Lake Mead NRA" (Funding Opportunity Number P20AS00013), is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement project with the Nevada Division of Forestry (NDF) focused on routine, on-the-ground vegetation and debris management within Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The core purpose is to reduce wildland fire risk and improve visitor and roadway safety by lowering fuel loads in high-use and high-risk locations, while also addressing related conservation needs like invasive plant removal and litter cleanup. Work levels are expected to vary year to year, especially because wetter spring seasons can drive heavier vegetation growth and therefore require more extensive fuels treatment.
Operationally, NDF and NPS plan to collaborate to remove brush and other burnable materials in and around campgrounds, picnic areas, and housing zones. These areas are emphasized because they combine ignition sources (people, vehicles, infrastructure) with potential pathways for fire spread. The project also includes treatment along road corridors to reduce vegetation that can obstruct sightlines, which is framed as a way to lower the chance of vehicle accidents by improving driver visibility. A key point in the description is that fuels reduction is not a one-time effort: brush naturally grows back, and annual or recurring maintenance is needed as growth rates change depending on rainfall amounts and where storms occur.
In addition to fuels management, the project includes beach-area work within Lake Mead NRA. NDF crews are expected to remove exotic (non-native) plants along shorelines, particularly in places where large mechanical equipment cannot access. Because of those access constraints, the work relies on small hand tools and manual removal methods. As crews conduct fuels and invasive plant work, they will also support litter reduction by collecting and removing trash encountered in the work areas, effectively combining fire risk reduction and general site cleanup into the same field operations.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under CFDA 15.944, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the identified partner (NDF). The posting is dated December 4, 2019, and the "closing" language indicates it is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open request for applications. In other words, it is not soliciting proposals; it serves as public notice that NPS intends to fund this specific project under an existing cooperative agreement with NDF. The listed award ceiling is $50,000, and the expected number of awards is shown as 0, which aligns with the notice-style posting rather than a competitive grant round.Apply for P20AS00013
