Opportunity Summary:
The New Hampshire ACEP-WRE Restoration Implementation Assistance opportunity is a USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) cooperative agreement that supports on-the-ground wetland and associated upland restoration work on properties already enrolled in the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program - Wetlands Reserve Easement (ACEP-WRE). The core purpose is to help carry out restoration activities that have been planned for these easement lands, translating restoration designs into real implementation that improves wetland function and ecological outcomes.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS NH 16 05) administered by USDA-NRCS (listed as USDA-NRCS-MOSO in the source data) under CFDA 10.931. The program objective centers on providing both technical and financial assistance that supports landowners and partners in planning, designing, and implementing wetland restoration and related upland restoration actions. The restoration emphasis is strongly habitat-oriented, aiming to maximize wildlife habitat value within wetland systems while also delivering broader conservation benefits.
Projects supported under this opportunity are expected to generate multiple environmental outcomes. These include improved water quality, reduced soil erosion, and reduced flooding impacts through restoration of wetland hydrology and associated landscape functions. Another explicit priority is enhancing habitat opportunities for threatened and endangered species, indicating that projects that improve conditions for sensitive wildlife, or restore high-value wetland habitat types, align well with the program's intent. Overall, the opportunity reflects the ACEP-WRE mission of restoring and protecting wetland ecosystems in a way that benefits both ecological integrity and downstream communities.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full notice. Awards are made through cooperative agreements, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating, guiding, or partnering on project implementation rather than issuing a simple pass-through grant with minimal agency participation.
The total funding structure provided in the source information shows an award ceiling of $260,000, with an expectation of up to 5 awards. The opportunity was posted and created on June 15, 2016, and had an application deadline of July 25, 2016. In practical terms, this means the competition window was relatively short, and applications would have needed to clearly demonstrate readiness to implement restoration activities on ACEP-WRE enrolled lands, consistent with NRCS technical standards and restoration objectives.
