Opportunity Summary:
The EQIP - Irrigation Related Technical Services grant (Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS HI 10 01) was a Hawaii-focused funding opportunity administered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) through the Hawaii State Office. It supported work tied to the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), with the overall goal of improving environmental outcomes on agricultural lands in Hawaii, particularly where irrigation and water management intersect with broader conservation needs.
The central purpose of the opportunity was to "optimize environmental benefits" by addressing a defined set of resource concerns that NRCS identified as priorities in Hawaii. These concerns covered both on-farm pollution risks and ecosystem impacts, including: waste issues associated with confined livestock operations; sedimentation caused by accelerated erosion; the spread and management of noxious weeds; insufficient water supplies for livestock watering or irrigation; pesticide or nutrient contamination of ground water or surface water; protection or improvement of habitat for at-risk species; invasive species impacts; and overall ground and surface water conservation. In practical terms, the funded technical services were intended to help producers and land managers reduce environmental harm while improving water reliability and efficiency, controlling erosion and sediment, and supporting habitat and ecological resilience.
This was a discretionary grant with an agriculture activity focus, listed under CFDA 10.912 (Environmental Quality Incentives Program). NRCS expected to make a single award under this announcement, and the funding amount was fixed: the estimated total funding was $58,000, with an award ceiling of $58,000 and an award floor of $58,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which meant applicants were not obligated to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been provided in the full announcement text. The posting date was April 5, 2010, and the application window closed on April 26, 2010 (original and current closing dates were the same). The opportunity was later archived on May 26, 2010, indicating it is no longer open.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically at the time, the listed point of contact was Douglas Maguire, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 808-541-2600.
