Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Natural Resources Solutions to Address Stream Restoration and Habitat Improvement at Indian Head Maryland" (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 12 LTC 0002) is a U.S. Department of Defense discretionary funding announcement that intends to support on-the-ground watershed and habitat restoration work at Indian Head, Maryland. The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the government expects to be substantially involved during project execution (for example, coordinating technical requirements, reviewing deliverables, and collaborating on implementation details), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. Only one award is anticipated under this announcement, and the eligible applicant pool is described as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may apply unless the full text of the announcement adds further eligibility limitations.
The central purpose of the project is to implement practical watershed management solutions that improve drainage function, reduce erosion, and restore ecological conditions in areas affected by past installation-related activities. The work described emphasizes common stream and wetland restoration techniques, including installing erosion control measures, re-grading disturbed areas to reestablish stable landforms and appropriate flow paths, and planting native species to stabilize soils and rebuild habitat structure. The broader environmental outcome is to restore natural drainage channels, create or reestablish nontidal wetland features, and improve both aquatic and terrestrial habitat quality. In practical terms, this kind of project is usually aimed at reducing sediment delivery to waterways, moderating stormwater impacts, enhancing water quality, and creating habitat conditions that support a wider range of native plants and wildlife.
The scope is organized around two specific tasks. First is the restoration of a stream channel at Indian Head, which generally involves repairing or reshaping a degraded channel so it can convey water without excessive erosion, reconnect to its floodplain where appropriate, and support more natural physical and biological processes. Second is the creation of nontidal wetland habitat in a targeted area of Indian Head where wetlands were destroyed or severely impaired due to previous installation activities. Nontidal wetlands are inland wetlands not influenced by ocean tides; restoring them often includes grading to achieve the right hydrology, reestablishing wetland soils and microtopography, managing invasive species risks, and planting native wetland vegetation to jump-start ecological recovery.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, even though the described work is largely implementation-focused and habitat-oriented. The announcement indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting and creation dates are March 1, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 3, 2012. The estimated total funding amount is listed as 0 in the provided record, which can occur in government listings when the precise dollar figure is not populated in the summary system or is to be determined in the full announcement documents. Interested parties who had trouble accessing the announcement were directed to contact Denise Wilson, Contracting Officer, at 202-685-0400.
