Opportunity Summary:
The Great Egg Harbor River CMP Implementation notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0058) is a National Park Service discretionary cooperative agreement announcement stating that the Great Egg Harbor Watershed Association, Inc. (GEHWA) is receiving continued funding to carry out implementation work tied to the Great Egg Harbor River Comprehensive Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (CMP/EIS). It is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications; instead, it functions as a public notice that an award is being made to support ongoing river and watershed management activities connected to the Great Egg Harbor National Scenic and Recreational River.
The award supports GEHWA serving as a key partner helping municipalities and agencies protect and manage the river and its watershed resources over the long term. A major part of the work centers on assisting municipalities with Local River Management Plans, including helping towns update or review those plans, answering technical questions, and providing limited technical assistance as needs arise. GEHWA is also expected to stay engaged in local decision-making by participating in municipal zoning and planning meetings when proposals or policy discussions could affect the Great Egg Harbor River and its outstandingly remarkable resources.
Another core element is coordination across multiple levels of government and partner organizations. GEHWA will work with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the New Jersey Pinelands Commission, counties, municipalities, and nonprofit partners to move forward the goals laid out in the CMP/EIS. The scope also includes education and interpretation: developing and producing educational materials, interpretive exhibits, publications, and other media or programs that help the public and stakeholders understand the river, its watershed, and the importance of stewardship.
On-the-ground and programmatic protection efforts are part of the expected outputs as well. GEHWA will assist in projects that promote long-term protection of the river corridor and provide technical and financial support for planning, education, outreach, and research activities related to the river. The announcement also notes that GEHWA may provide staff support as future amendments to the agreement define, may act as the lead partner on specific projects and grants that align with mutual priorities, and will support the needs and goals of the Great Egg Harbor National Scenic and Recreational River Council, which is identified as a subsidiary of GEHWA.
Technical capacity building and data-driven support are explicitly included. GEHWA will provide GIS analysis, technical assistance, and recommendations to the National Park Service, municipalities, other NGOs, and the State of New Jersey regarding management of river resources, along with general technical assistance to NPS across the listed responsibilities. In short, the funding underwrites a blend of municipal assistance, interagency coordination, public education, project support, and technical/GIS services designed to implement and advance the river’s comprehensive management framework.
Administratively, the notice lists a single expected award with total funding of $119,400, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $119,400, and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing is 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The posting and creation date are June 9, 2015, with a closing date of June 18, 2015 and archive date of June 19, 2015, reflecting standard federal posting timelines even though the notice is not competitive. Eligibility is noted as 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, but the repeated emphasis throughout the announcement is that this is simply a public statement of an award to GEHWA rather than a call for new applicants. For access issues or questions tied to the announcement record, the contact listed is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
