Opportunity Summary:
The Farmington Wild and Scenic River Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0093) is a continuation cooperative agreement offered by the National Park Service (NPS) to support implementation of the federal Wild and Scenic designation for a 14-mile segment of the Farmington River in Connecticut. This segment was added to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System when Congress amended the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (PL 90-542) on August 26, 1994. The core purpose of the funding is to carry out the intent of that designation through on-the-ground and programmatic work aligned with the Upper Farmington River Management Plan, the guiding document referenced in the authorizing law.
The grant is structured around an established relationship under Cooperative Agreement H4507070013 between NPS and the Farmington River Watershed Association (FRWA). The Management Plan specifically calls for NPS to work through cooperative agreements with members of the Farmington River Coordinating Committee (FRCC), which is the coordinating body responsible for helping manage the designated river area consistent with Wild and Scenic Rivers principles. FRWA is a member of the FRCC and has been designated by the committee as its fiscal agent, meaning it is authorized to receive and manage funds and to enter into cooperative agreements with NPS on behalf of the FRCC to implement management plan actions.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was posted on August 24, 2011, with an application closing date of August 29, 2011, and it was archived on August 30, 2011. NPS anticipated making a single award, and the total funding amount was fixed: an award floor, ceiling, and estimated total funding of $51,300. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction, coordination, or oversight compared with a standard grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting that the work supports river conservation, stewardship, and management planning activities connected to the designated Wild and Scenic reach.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute a specified amount of non-federal funds to receive the award. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, at 410-260-2473.
