Opportunity Summary:
The CLEAN WATER ACT PROGRAM SUPPORT opportunity is a Department of Defense cooperative agreement (Kansas City District) focused on providing hands-on environmental compliance and natural resources support for Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski County, Missouri. The work centers on helping the installation meet key Clean Water Act obligations, particularly those tied to Sections 402 and 404, which generally cover pollutant discharge permitting and protections related to dredge-and-fill activities in waters and wetlands. Fort Leonard Wood is a large and ecologically diverse installation of roughly 61,410 acres in the northern Ozark Highlands, containing extensive upland forest habitat, a network of permanent and intermittent streams (about 19 to 25 miles), and roughly 240 acres of impoundments that support a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial species, including sensitive resources. Because of that footprint, stormwater, erosion, land disturbance, and spill response are treated as ongoing operational priorities, not occasional tasks.
The selected non-federal partner is expected to deliver broad program support across several connected areas. First, the partner will conduct environmental analysis that supports Clean Water Act program implementation, specifically aligning with regulatory requirements under Sections 402 and 404. Second, the partner will perform field investigations at land disturbance sites, focusing on whether sediment and erosion controls are operating as required, and then translate those findings into environmental reports that document sediment and erosion control activities and evaluate how those activities affect surrounding watersheds. Third, the work includes evaluating best management practices (BMPs) and producing practical recommendations that help the installation maintain or improve compliance, reduce pollutant runoff, and better protect water resources. Fourth, the scope includes Spill Prevention and Response Program support, meaning field investigations and reporting related to spills, potential releases, or spill risk conditions. Fifth, the partner will support Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) responsibilities through field investigations and reporting; in practice, that typically involves stormwater infrastructure observations, outfall or drainage-related assessments, and documentation that supports required stormwater program elements. Sixth, the agreement includes administrative and technical support functions such as preparing environmental reports, using and updating Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and maintaining information products that help the installation track conditions, prioritize corrective actions, and demonstrate ongoing protection of water resources.
Eligibility is broadly open. The solicitation states that all responsible, non-federal entities that submit requests and can meet the scope of work will be considered, meaning the competition is not limited to a narrow applicant class as long as the organization can credibly perform the required technical and field-based tasks. The statutory authority cited is 16 U.S.C. 670c-1, which allows military departments to enter into cooperative agreements with non-governmental organizations to maintain and improve natural resources on military installations (and to support related natural and historic resource efforts). The opportunity anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The listing identifies an award ceiling of 0, which commonly indicates the ceiling was not specified in the public summary rather than implying no funding, and applicants would need to consult the full solicitation package or agency guidance for budget expectations and constraints. The original posting timeline shows a creation date of November 13, 2017, with an original closing date of December 13, 2017, and the opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources (CFDA 12.114) using a cooperative agreement instrument, indicating the government expects substantial involvement or collaboration during performance rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
