Opportunity Summary:
The Molls Cove Stream Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N40080-15-2-0004) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the Naval Facilities Engineering Command that will be awarded as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). The project is focused on environmental restoration work at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, specifically the Webster Field Annex in St. Marys County, Maryland. Webster Field has a long operational history dating back to World War II, including use as an emergency landing and training area, and it has undergone multiple expansions over the decades to support changing mission needs. Those expansions, along with continued construction and improvements, increased the amount of impervious surface on the installation, which in turn increased stormwater runoff. During storm events, the higher runoff volumes and velocities have contributed to erosion and sedimentation that degrade nearby waterways.
The grant is intended to help the installation meet legal and policy requirements to reduce sediment impacts to surrounding waters, specifically obligations under the Clean Water Act and Executive Order 13508 (which addresses restoration and protection efforts in the Chesapeake Bay watershed). The core deliverable is restoration of approximately 764 linear feet of stream channel using a step pool storm conveyance (SPSC) restoration approach. In practical terms, SPSC is a stormwater-focused channel stabilization and grade-control technique that uses a series of step-and-pool features to safely convey runoff, reduce erosive energy, and limit sediment transport, while improving channel stability.
Work will be performed on two channels associated with Molls Cove, identified as the Western Tributary and the Eastern Tributary. These channels include both nontidal and tidal sections and ultimately drain into Molls Cove, which is a tidal tributary of the St. Marys River. The project location is described as roughly 2,000 feet northwest of the intersection of Villa Road and Saint Inigoes Road on Webster Field. A key condition of the award is that the selected cooperator must implement a government-approved design (referenced as Appendix B in the announcement) rather than proposing an entirely new design concept, and must carry out the work in compliance with all permits, authorizations, and regulatory requirements tied to that approved design.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity as long as it meets any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on April 21, 2015, with an application closing date of May 22, 2015, and it was later archived on June 21, 2015. For announcement access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact is Blake Wittmann, Contract Specialist, at 804-852-6824.
