Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "CONSTRUCTED WETLAND FOR HABITAT ENHANCEMENT AND SEDIMENT CONTROL" is a Department of Defense cooperative agreement focused on improving stormwater management and environmental conditions near Machodoc Creek. The central goal is to create a constructed wetland that would replace about 235 feet of an existing stormwater line and its current discharge point into Machodoc Creek. The project site is located south of Sampson Road, and it specifically targets runoff coming from a large portion of the nearby housing and administrative areas, where stormwater is presently conveyed without sufficient treatment.
The proposed constructed wetland is intended to serve two major functions at once. First, it is designed to enhance habitat, meaning it would create or improve wetland conditions that support wildlife and ecological health in the area. Second, it aims to produce clear water-quality benefits by treating a substantial volume of stormwater before it reaches Machodoc Creek. In practical terms, a properly designed constructed wetland can slow storm flows, encourage sediment to settle out, and allow natural biological and chemical processes to reduce pollutants. The emphasis on "sediment control" signals that reducing suspended solids and associated contaminants is a key priority, which is especially important where stormwater currently discharges directly into a sensitive receiving water body.
A notable component of the project is the removal of the existing culvert outlet that currently sits below mean high water. That configuration can create backflow and poor drainage performance, particularly during high tides or elevated water levels, which often leads to standing water, reduced conveyance capacity, and recurring maintenance problems. By eliminating that below-mean-high-water outlet and replacing it with a constructed wetland approach, the project is also meant to resolve existing drainage issues, not just provide environmental benefits. In other words, it is both an infrastructure improvement and a natural-resources restoration effort.
From an administrative perspective, this opportunity was posted on August 25, 2010, with an application closing date of September 13, 2010. It is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies that the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the announcement anticipates a single award. The CFDA number associated with the listing is 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), even though the described work is strongly applied and design-oriented, which is not unusual for federal listings that group a range of technical and environmental efforts under broader program identifiers.
The listing states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a broad range of applicant types as long as any additional eligibility clarifications in the full text are satisfied. The funding fields in the summary show an estimated total funding amount, ceiling, and floor all listed as 0, which usually indicates that the public summary did not specify a dollar value or that the amount was to be determined through the solicitation process and final negotiations rather than advertised upfront.
For applicants or interested parties needing help accessing the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Denise Wilson, Contracting Officer, reachable at (202) 685-0400 (work).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title of this grant opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "CONSTRUCTED WETLAND FOR HABITAT ENHANCEMENT AND SEDIMENT CONTROL."
Which federal agency is offering this opportunity?
This is a Department of Defense opportunity.
What type of funding instrument is being used?
The listing describes the award as a cooperative agreement.
What does it mean that this is a cooperative agreement?
A cooperative agreement typically indicates the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, rather than issuing a purely hands-off grant. The listing specifically notes it is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies ongoing coordination with the agency.
Is this a discretionary funding opportunity?
Yes. The opportunity is listed as discretionary.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The central goal is to improve stormwater management and environmental conditions near Machodoc Creek by creating a constructed wetland to replace a portion of an existing stormwater conveyance and its current discharge point into the creek.
Where is the project located?
The project site is located south of Sampson Road and is associated with stormwater that currently discharges to Machodoc Creek.
What existing infrastructure is planned to be replaced?
The constructed wetland would replace about 235 feet of an existing stormwater line and the current discharge point into Machodoc Creek.
What stormwater sources does the project target?
The project specifically targets runoff from a large portion of nearby housing and administrative areas where stormwater is currently conveyed without sufficient treatment.
What are the two major functions of the proposed constructed wetland?
The constructed wetland is intended to (1) enhance habitat by creating or improving wetland conditions that support wildlife and ecological health, and (2) provide water-quality benefits by treating a substantial volume of stormwater before it reaches Machodoc Creek.
How is the constructed wetland expected to improve water quality?
The description notes that a properly designed constructed wetland can slow storm flows, encourage sediment to settle out, and allow natural biological and chemical processes to reduce pollutants before stormwater reaches the receiving water body.
Why is sediment control emphasized in this opportunity?
The emphasis on "sediment control" indicates that reducing suspended solids and associated contaminants is a key priority, especially since stormwater currently discharges directly into Machodoc Creek, described as a sensitive receiving water body.
What is the issue with the existing culvert outlet?
The existing culvert outlet currently sits below mean high water. The description explains this can cause backflow and poor drainage performance during high tides or elevated water levels, leading to standing water, reduced conveyance capacity, and recurring maintenance problems.
What change is planned regarding the existing culvert outlet?
A notable component of the project is removal of the existing culvert outlet that is below mean high water, with the constructed wetland approach intended to replace that configuration.
Is the project only an environmental restoration effort, or also an infrastructure improvement?
Based on the description, it is both. It is meant to provide environmental benefits (habitat enhancement and water-quality treatment) and also resolve existing drainage issues related to the current outlet configuration.
What is the activity category for this opportunity?
The activity category is Natural Resources.
What CFDA number is associated with this listing?
The CFDA number associated with the listing is 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research).
Does the CFDA number match the type of work described?
