Opportunity Summary:
The grant notice titled "Eightmile Wild and Scenic River Management Plan Implementation" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0075) is not an open call for proposals and should not be read as a request for applications. Instead, it is a public announcement from the National Park Service (NPS) that the Lyme Land Conservation Trust (LLCT) has already been selected to receive an award to support implementation of the Eightmile Wild and Scenic River Management Plan. The funding is being provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an active partnership role for the federal agency rather than a hands-off, standard grant arrangement.
The announcement describes a single expected award totaling $60,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $60,000, meaning the full amount is predetermined rather than competitively variable. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." While the eligibility category listed is 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the repeated emphasis throughout the notice makes clear that eligibility details are essentially informational in this context because the award has already been made to LLCT.
LLCTs core role under the cooperative agreement is to act as the fiscal agent for the Eightmile River Wild and Scenic Coordinating Committee (ERWSCC). In practical terms, this means LLCT will manage and disburse the awarded funds and help ensure that selected projects and actions move forward in alignment with the river management plan. The work is designed to be carried out in partnership with the National Park Service and the coordinating committee, reflecting the collaborative governance structure often used for Wild and Scenic River designations where local, state, nonprofit, and federal partners share responsibilities.
The notice also outlines several operational responsibilities LLCT must carry out to support plan implementation. LLCT is expected to participate in ERWSCC meetings and relevant subcommittee meetings as needed, mainly to stay aligned with committee priorities and to ensure it can meet its administrative and project execution responsibilities. Beyond meeting participation, LLCT will provide technical assistance to ERWSCC, which can include support with planning, coordination, documentation, communications, and other practical help that enables the committee to function effectively and advance on-the-ground work.
A key part of the work involves implementing specific projects identified in an associated workplan. The announcement indicates that LLCT will hire staff to support ERWSCC in implementing the management plan (the text appears to contain a minor typo where "Washed Management Plan" is likely intended to mean the Wild and Scenic management plan). The budget may also cover necessary travel and miscellaneous expenses associated with supporting staff, as well as small contract support to ERWSCC. Taken together, these elements suggest the funding is meant to strengthen the coordinating committees capacity to carry out plan priorities by adding personnel support, covering essential operating costs, and allowing limited contracted services when specialized help is needed.
Administrative details show the opportunity was posted and created on July 6, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2015, and an archive date of July 16, 2015. Those dates function more like a public posting window for transparency rather than a competitive application period, since the notice repeatedly states it is not soliciting applications. The listed NPS contact for access issues is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153.
