Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Restoration of Estuarine Wetlands at Otter Point and South Clatsop Slough, Columbia River" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a non-competitive, single-source cooperative agreement award to the Columbia River Estuary Studies Task Force (CREST). The work is centered at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park (LEWI), specifically at a site within the park known as Otter Point. The core purpose of the project is ecological and cultural: restoring 33.5 acres of tidelands to better reflect the historical estuarine conditions that existed during the time the Clatsop people hosted the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
The project aims to re-create a historic tidal marsh and Sitka spruce swamp, essentially rebuilding key wetland habitat types that once shaped the local landscape. Beyond habitat restoration, the effort is framed as a cultural landscape restoration. NPS describes this work as part of a broader, multi-phase initiative tied to the Fort Clatsop area, including the Fort Clatsop hill. By restoring the wetland and swamp setting, the park intends to give visitors a more accurate sense of the historical environment and the practical reasons the expedition chose the fort hill location. In that context, the restored landscape is meant to help explain why the area was strategically valuable for later settlement, commerce, and government activity in the years following the expedition.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial involvement or collaboration between NPS and the recipient rather than functioning as a hands-off grant. The opportunity anticipates a single award, consistent with the stated intent to fund CREST as the sole source partner. The total estimated funding amount is $165,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are also set at $165,000, indicating a fixed expected award size rather than a range. Cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or eligible in-kind support) as part of the project’s overall budget and implementation.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, although the notice makes clear that the award is not competitive and is specifically intended for CREST. Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted and created on August 25, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2010, and an archive date of September 28, 2010. The funding opportunity number is J9420102009, and it falls under the environment activity category.
