Opportunity Summary:
The Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief grant opportunity titled "Proj CNE 58 Removal of Flock Process Dam, Norwalk, CT" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00326) was a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.677, Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities. The project focus was the removal of the Flock Process Dam in Norwalk, Connecticut, with the broader purpose of using Hurricane Sandy relief funds authorized under Public Law 113-2 to strengthen coastal resilience. In practical terms, the opportunity aimed to improve the ability of coastal habitats and related infrastructure to absorb, adapt to, and recover from future storms, while reducing the extent of damage that similar events could cause.
The funding was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $921,500. The award structure was fixed in the sense that the award ceiling and award floor were both listed as $921,500, indicating the intent to fund one project at that exact level rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement identified, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as "unrestricted," meaning the opportunity was open to any type of entity as eligible applicant, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been provided in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted and created on July 22, 2014, with an original and final closing date of August 22, 2014, and it was archived on August 23, 2014. Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov via the provided link, and a point of contact was provided for assistance with accessing the announcement: Cheryle Lawrence at cherylelawrence@fws.gov.
Overall, the opportunity was a targeted, single-project Hurricane Sandy recovery investment intended to deliver measurable resilience benefits in a specific Connecticut coastal setting through dam removal, aligning ecological restoration objectives with storm risk reduction and long-term durability of coastal systems.
