Opportunity Summary:
The "Prevent Pasture Flooding" opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance) and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980, as amended in 1988 (16 U.S.C. 2901-2911). It is explicitly issued as a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning there is no full competitive funding announcement and it is not a request for proposals. The agency states it has determined not to compete the assistance action based on Department Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), citing the unique qualifications of the applicant.
The intended recipient is Wahkiakum County (eligible applicant category: county governments), and the notice indicates the county is responsible for flood protection in the relevant area in coordination with Wahkiakum Diking Improvement District Four. The project is tied to conditions at and around the Julia Butler Hansen National Wildlife Refuge, where a defective and deteriorated tidegate structure has been allowing excessive tidal inflow and causing extensive flooding in refuge pastures and riparian zones. The notice also highlights that elevated water levels inside the refuge pose a flooding risk beyond refuge boundaries, potentially affecting adjacent county and private lands.
The core work described centers on flood-risk reduction and infrastructure repair. Specifically, the project aims to reduce tidal inflow entering the refuge through the degraded tidegate and to repair a damaged concrete box culvert located beneath Brooks Slough Road. By addressing these failures, the project is intended to stabilize water levels, protect habitat areas from prolonged or severe inundation, and reduce flooding impacts to nearby properties and public infrastructure.
The public benefits emphasized in the notice focus on both habitat and hydrology. The agency expects the repairs to improve habitat conditions for the Columbian white-tailed deer (CWTD) and to provide improved opportunities for fish passage into the interior of the refuge, alongside the broader goal of lowering flood potential on refuge lands as well as neighboring county and private lands. In short, the effort is framed as a practical flood protection and habitat enhancement action tied to a specific, localized tidal control problem.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $41,015, and an award ceiling of $41,015. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed. Key dates in the notice show it was posted and created on July 12, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2010, and an archive date of August 16, 2010.
For questions about the notice and project, the point of contact listed is Joel David, Refuge Manager, at 360-795-3915. For assistance accessing the announcement electronically, the notice also provides Angie Chapman, Administrative Officer, at 360-484-3482 (work).
