Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Grant Agreement, Boone County Conservation District" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00410) under CFDA 15.608. This posting is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to Award to a single source, meaning the Service already intends to fund one specific recipient and there is no full announcement, open competition, or typical application process associated with the notice.
The intended recipient is the Boone County Conservation District. The planned award mechanism is a cooperative agreement (listed as a grant funding instrument type in the source record, but described in the narrative as a cooperative agreement), which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as coordination on technical decisions, oversight of monitoring, and collaboration on performance evaluation.
The purpose of the project is practical stream restoration and water-quality improvement work in Northern Kentucky watersheds that have been identified as highly impaired. The work centers on retrofitting outlet structures at detention ponds and then monitoring how well those retrofits perform. Detention ponds often alter downstream hydrology by holding and releasing stormwater in ways that can create unnatural flow patterns, including flashy peak flows and reduced baseflow stability. By modifying outlet structures, the project aims to restore more natural flow regimes, which can reduce erosion and sediment transport, moderate extremes in stream flow, and support healthier aquatic habitat conditions. The project also emphasizes water quality improvements, which commonly include reductions in suspended sediment, nutrients, and other stormwater-related pollutants that can degrade streams.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of up to $500,000 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The opportunity was created on August 15, 2016, with an original closing date of August 19, 2016, reflecting a short administrative window that is typical for single-source intent-to-award postings rather than a competitive cycle. While the eligibility field is shown as "Unrestricted," the text of the notice makes clear that the action is intended for a single named entity, so other organizations would not realistically have an opportunity to compete for this funding under this notice.
In plain terms, this is a targeted federal funding action to support a local conservation district in implementing and evaluating stormwater infrastructure retrofits that are expected to improve stream hydrology, water quality, and aquatic habitat in impaired Northern Kentucky streams, with the Fish and Wildlife Service collaborating closely through a cooperative agreement.
