Opportunity Summary:
The "Lakeside Trail Shoreline Stabilization Project" is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered through Region 2 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Coastal Program (CFDA 15.630). The project focuses on urgent shoreline and bank erosion issues at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, where precipitation-driven runoff and wave action have been steadily eating away at the lakeside bank. This erosion has already destroyed portions of a public-use trail, is depositing sediment into the lake and degrading aquatic habitat, and is gradually eliminating parts of a brush corridor that endangered ocelots rely on for cover and movement. The central purpose of the grant is to implement shoreline stabilization measures, including regrading or sloping the shoreline using construction equipment, to stop or slow ongoing erosion before additional trail segments and critical brush habitat are lost.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, with a single award anticipated. The total funding amount is fixed at $165,000, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $165,000, meaning the opportunity is structured as one full-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial burden on the recipient and signals that the agency intends to fully fund the proposed stabilization work under the award terms. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, aligning with the refuge management goals of protecting habitat, sustaining ecological functions, and maintaining compatible public access infrastructure such as trails.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This indicates the agency is seeking an experienced nonprofit partner capable of carrying out on-the-ground conservation and construction coordination work in collaboration with the refuge, consistent with how cooperative agreements typically operate (shared involvement and oversight between the agency and the recipient). The opportunity was posted on July 20, 2009, and closed on August 3, 2009, with the announcement archived on September 2, 2009, reflecting that it was a time-limited solicitation intended to address an immediate management concern.
For applicants or interested parties who needed assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Linda L. Miller, Supervisory Wildlife Refuge Specialist, reachable by phone at 956-748-3607 or by email at lindalmiller@fws.gov.
