Opportunity Summary:
The "Lower Delaware River W" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0059) is a National Park Service announcement describing a cooperative agreement award that has already been made to the Hunterdon Land Trust Alliance. It is explicitly not a request for applications and not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public posting that the organization received funding to continue implementing the Lower Delaware River Wild and Scenic River (WSR) Management Plan in the Hunterdon County, New Jersey portion of the Delaware River corridor and watershed.
The award is issued by the National Park Service under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with the funding instrument listed as a cooperative agreement, reflecting an arrangement where the NPS and the recipient are expected to coordinate on project delivery rather than operate completely independently. The posting indicates a single expected award, with total funding of $56,000, and both the award floor and ceiling set at $56,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed. While the eligible applicant category shown is 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the notice repeats multiple times that eligibility language is informational only because the award has already been made. The posting date and creation date are June 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 19, 2015, and an archive date of June 20, 2015, which in this case function more like administrative dates for the public notice than an open application window.
The work to be carried out by Hunterdon Land Trust Alliance centers on education, stewardship, technical support, and coordinated implementation of river corridor priorities. Key responsibilities include developing and producing educational and interpretive materials such as exhibits, publications, and other media, along with programs and events that explain and highlight the Lower Delaware River and watershed resources in Hunterdon County. The organization is also tasked with supporting planning, outreach, stewardship, and research by providing technical and financial assistance and by mobilizing volunteers and partners, particularly in connection with lands managed by the Land Trust and state-owned lands along the Delaware River in Hunterdon County.
A major emphasis of the agreement is advancing the goals of the Lower Delaware River Management Committee Action Plan (2007). This includes efforts to maintain or improve water quality; preserve and protect natural and historic resources; safeguard open space and farmland; encourage sustainable recreational use of the river corridor; and reduce or minimize adverse impacts from development within the river corridor. To accomplish these goals, the Land Trust is expected to work closely with a wide set of partners, including the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry, other state and federal agencies, counties and municipalities, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations, aligning activities with the broader Lower Delaware River Management Plan.
The announcement also outlines coordination and advisory roles. Hunterdon Land Trust Alliance will coordinate with the Lower Delaware River Management Committee by participating in committee activities, helping plan the annual educational forum, reporting progress on projects, and gathering input when needed. In addition, the organization will provide technical assistance and recommendations to the National Park Service and other partners related to improving, restoring, and managing conservation lands and river resources. Public recognition requirements are included as well, specifying that the National Wild and Scenic Rivers program and the National Park Service must be credited in materials developed through the agreement.
Land protection outcomes are another explicit component. For lands included in projects that reach closing as a result of this agreement, the notice specifies permanent preservation through fee simple acquisition and/or conservation easements that restrict the deed in perpetuity, preventing conversion to non-conservation uses except those consistent with conservation and/or public access purposes. Finally, the Land Trust may serve as the lead partner on specific projects and programs of mutual interest, with additional detail referenced in an attached workplan/proposal.
For questions related to accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
