Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled RIPERIAN BUFFER AND WETLAND HABITAT PROTECTION PROJECT CHEASAPEAKE BAY, MARYLAND was issued by the Department of Defense as a discretionary funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement mechanism. It centers on environmental restoration and shoreline stabilization work at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Chesapeake Bay Detachment in Calvert County, Maryland. The project is framed as both an infrastructure protection and natural resources effort, with the practical goal of repairing storm-related damage and reducing ongoing shoreline erosion that threatens key Navy assets.
At its core, the Cooperative Agreement is intended to fund services for a preliminary engineering evaluation first, and then, if the Navy chooses to proceed, the award may also cover the design and construction phases for site restoration and shoreline stabilization. The immediate driver is storm damage that has compromised beach access by damaging an existing access road. In addition to restoring that access, the work is meant to address shoreline erosion that could negatively affect a security road and an existing Navy range monitoring station. In other words, the project is not just about improving the shoreline for ecological reasons; it is also about protecting operationally important facilities and maintaining mission readiness at the installation.
The opportunity also emphasizes broader environmental benefits tied to the Chesapeake Bay. By stabilizing the shoreline and restoring riparian buffer and wetland habitat functions, the project is expected to contribute to improved water quality in the Bay. Shoreline stabilization and habitat protection can reduce sediment loss and runoff impacts, which are common drivers of turbidity and nutrient transport in coastal and estuarine systems. The announcement specifically links the project’s environmental outcomes with the Navy’s operational requirements, reflecting a dual-purpose approach where ecological restoration supports infrastructure resilience and compliance with natural resource stewardship objectives.
Administratively, the opportunity was identified under Funding Opportunity Number N40080 10 LTC 0004 and categorized within the Natural Resources activity area. It anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) and referenced CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, even though the described tasks are heavily applied and site-focused. The notice indicated no cost sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity unless further limited by additional eligibility language in the full announcement.
Key dates in the posting show it was published on May 18, 2010, with a closing date of June 18, 2010, and an archive date of July 18, 2010. The funding fields in the source data list estimated total funding and award ceiling/floor as 0, which typically signals that amounts were either to be determined, provided elsewhere in the full solicitation, or not captured in the summary record. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact provided was Denise Wilson, Contracting Officer, reachable at 202-685-0400 (work).
