Opportunity Summary:

The Hagerman NWR Moist Soil Unit grant opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. The project centers on marsh rehabilitation and habitat restoration, specifically improving how water is moved and controlled within key wetland units so the refuge can better manage water levels for migratory birds and other wetland-dependent wildlife.

The main scope of work is to replace three older, inefficient concrete water control structures with a larger set of modernized water conveyance components. In practical terms, the project would install 36 culverts designed with aluminum flashboard risers on the impoundment side and flap gates on the lake side. This configuration is intended to provide more precise and flexible control of water elevations in the managed marshes while also helping prevent unwanted backflow from the lake side, improving operational efficiency and supporting healthier wetland conditions.

Beyond the physical construction, the effort includes developing detailed specifications tied to hydrologic restoration and topographic targets for the Steedman and Muleshoe marsh units. Those goals are to be set with an awareness of how nearby impoundments and marshes are managed, so changes in one area do not unintentionally create problems in adjacent units. The project is therefore both an engineering and habitat management initiative, combining infrastructure replacement with planning that aligns water management, marsh elevations, and broader refuge operations.

Ducks Unlimited is identified as the partner responsible for providing engineering assistance, helping with procurement of supplies and materials, and offering construction-phase oversight and support needed to complete the habitat restoration work. Importantly, the announcement states this is a single-source award to Ducks Unlimited (Southern Regional Office) executed as a modification to an existing cooperative agreement, meaning it is not an open competitive opportunity for general applicants.

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $40,000, with an award ceiling of $40,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The agency expected to make one award. The funding opportunity number is 21580 HR 10 001, and it is associated with CFDA 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures). The notice was posted on December 28, 2009, created on December 17, 2009, and had a closing date of January 4, 2010, after which it was archived on February 3, 2010.
