Opportunity Summary:
The Moosup River Aquatic Habitat Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R5 ES 09 017) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single Cooperative Agreement award to the Town of Plainfield, Connecticut. There is no standalone full funding announcement tied to this notice; instead, the posting functions primarily as advance public notice that the Service plans to fund a specific restoration project with a specific municipal partner. The purpose of the agreement is to restore aquatic habitat in the Moosup River within the Town of Plainfield, and it is framed as an environmental restoration action rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation.
This project is being carried out to satisfy obligations under a Consent Decree from the case United States of America v. Bemis Company, Inc. and Pervel Industries, Inc., filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut and entered on August 11, 2000. The Consent Decree relates to natural resource damages associated with hazardous waste releases from the Yaworski Lagoon Superfund Site in Canterbury, Connecticut. In other words, the restoration work on the Moosup River is part of the broader remedy and compensation package intended to address environmental harm caused by contamination at that Superfund site.
The specific restoration approach is described in the publicly reviewed Final Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Yaworski Lagoon Superfund Site. That reference matters because it signals the work has already gone through a public planning and environmental review process, and the proposed on-the-ground actions are aligned with an approved restoration plan rather than being newly conceived under this funding notice. The award is categorized under the Environment activity area, and it is associated with CFDA 15.630 (Coastal Program), even though the project itself is described as aquatic habitat restoration within a river system in Plainfield.
The total anticipated federal funding is fixed at 24,000 dollars, with an award floor and ceiling both listed as 24,000 dollars, indicating a single, set amount rather than a range. The posting lists one expected award and specifies no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the eligibility field lists city or township governments, the notice explains why the Town of Plainfield is considered uniquely qualified to implement the work: its public works departments already manage similar municipal sewer and water improvement projects; it has operational support capacity through road agents and police to help with road closures and related logistics; it has a conservation commission and planning agency with demonstrated interest in Moosup River restoration; and it supports a cooperative approach that the agency expects will deliver the work more cost effectively.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on August 10, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 15, 2009, and an archive date of August 16, 2009. That short posting window is consistent with a notice of intent that is not seeking broad competition but is instead documenting an intended award. For administrative questions or issues accessing materials electronically, the listed contact is Christal Cutler, Contract Specialist, at 413-253-8233, identified as the point of contact for electronic error messages.
