Opportunity Summary:
The Missouri River Recovery Project Development opportunity is a discretionary federal grant administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It supports a joint effort to restore the Missouri River ecosystem with the overarching aim of rebuilding a sustainable, functioning river system that can maintain strong populations of native species while still accommodating existing social and economic uses of the river corridor. The work is tied to expanded restoration authority granted to the Corps under the Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (WRDA 07), which opened additional possibilities for planning and implementing restoration projects specifically in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
The funding is intended to help develop, design, and construct restoration projects in and along the Missouri River. A central theme of the announcement is that long-term success depends on meaningful involvement from the people who live and work near the river. The agencies emphasize the need for local landowner input and support so projects are practical on the ground, locally informed, and more likely to endure. In other words, this is not framed as restoration done to communities, but restoration done with communities, recognizing that land management decisions, access, and day-to-day river corridor use strongly influence whether ecological gains can be maintained.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS-R6-ES09ND003) was posted in late June 2009 and is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources. It anticipated a single award and, in practice, was structured as a single-source agreement to the Richland County Conservation District, meaning it was not a broadly competitive solicitation open to multiple applicants. The award amount was fixed at 60,000 dollars (both the ceiling and the floor), and a cost sharing or matching requirement applied. The notice also indicates that additional funds could be added later during the life of the agreement, but only if funds became available, signaling the potential for follow-on support beyond the initial amount.
The administering agency is the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the announcement references the Endangered Species Program as the relevant program context, which aligns with the broader goal of improving habitat conditions for native river species. A federal point of contact was provided for access issues with the full announcement, indicating standard grant administration support through an identified contract specialist.
