Opportunity Summary:
The Oil and Grit Separator Filter Runoff Pollutant Study for Quaternary Compounds (QAC) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary environmental funding opportunity issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI) to make a single, non-competitive Cooperative Agreement under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). The project is focused on evaluating stormwater runoff treatment performance associated with parking lot filtration systems, specifically oil and grit separator filters, and understanding whether these systems improve water quality before runoff reaches a sensitive downstream resource described as a cave system.
At its core, the study is designed to measure and compare the quality of water entering the parking lot filters versus the quality of water discharging from those filters during runoff events. The runoff events may be naturally occurring storms and/or simulated runoff scenarios, meaning the study may include controlled testing in addition to field monitoring. By collecting data at the inflow and outflow points, the project aims to determine whether pollutant concentrations decrease as stormwater moves through the filtration units. The key environmental concern highlighted in the announcement is whether the filters are effectively capturing Quaternary Ammonia Compounds (QAC) present in surface runoff. QACs are a class of compounds commonly used in disinfectants and other products and can be transported via runoff; the announcement signals particular interest in understanding if these chemicals are being retained by the filtration system rather than passing through toward the cave environment.
Administratively, this announcement is not an open solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. The NPS states it is a single-source award intended for Western Kentucky University, and eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $47,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work during the period of performance (for example, coordination on study design, monitoring approach, data needs, or interpretation), rather than simply providing a grant with minimal federal participation.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted and created on July 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2011, and an archive date of August 26, 2011. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOI MACA R5536110126. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which often appears when an opportunity does not map neatly onto a standard CFDA program listing or is being treated as a special-case announcement.

No. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
5. What funding instrument will be used?
The award is intended to be made as a Cooperative Agreement.
6. What does "Cooperative Agreement" imply for how the project will be carried out?
A Cooperative Agreement typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance (for example, coordination on study design, monitoring approach, data needs, or interpretation), rather than providing funding with minimal federal participation.
7. How many awards does NPS expect to make?
The opportunity anticipates a single award.
8. What is the estimated total funding amount?
The estimated total funding amount is $47,000.
9. Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity.
10. Who is the intended recipient of the award?
The announcement describes the award as single-source and intended for Western Kentucky University.
11. Who is listed as eligible to apply?
Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education.
12. What is the main purpose of the project?
The project focuses on evaluating stormwater runoff treatment performance associated with parking lot filtration systems, specifically oil and grit separator filters, and determining whether these systems improve water quality before runoff reaches a sensitive downstream resource described as a cave system.
13. What kinds of filtration systems are being evaluated?
The study specifically focuses on oil and grit separator filters used for parking lot stormwater filtration.
14. What environmental concern is highlighted in the announcement?
A key concern is whether the filters effectively capture Quaternary Ammonia Compounds (QAC) present in surface runoff, so that these compounds are retained by the filtration system rather than passing through toward the cave environment.
15. What are Quaternary Ammonia Compounds (QAC) in the context of this study?
QACs are described as a class of compounds commonly used in disinfectants and other products, and the announcement notes they can be transported via runoff.
16. What measurements will the study take to evaluate performance?
The study is designed to measure and compare water quality entering the parking lot filters (inflow) versus water discharging from those filters (outflow) during runoff events.
17. What kinds of runoff events will be included?
Runoff events may include naturally occurring storms and/or simulated runoff scenarios, meaning the work may combine field monitoring with controlled testing.
18. How will the study determine whether the filters improve water quality?
By collecting data at inflow and outflow points and comparing pollutant concentrations, the project aims to determine whether pollutant concentrations decrease as stormwater moves through the filtration units.
19. What downstream resource is being protected or evaluated as part of this effort?
The announcement describes a sensitive downstream resource as a cave system, and the project is concerned with water quality before runoff reaches that cave environment.
20. What is the funding opportunity number?
The funding opportunity number is NPS NOI MACA R5536110126.
21. What CFDA number is associated with this opportunity?
The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified).
