Opportunity Summary:
The Torch/Platform Irene Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) grant opportunity, titled "Ocean Beach Park Boardwalk Project, Phase 1," is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding announcement intended to support an environmental restoration and public-use compensation project in Santa Barbara County, California. The project is tied to NRDAR efforts associated with the Torch/Platform Irene oil spill and is designed specifically to compensate the public for lost or diminished beach use resulting from that incident. The work will be carried out by the County of Santa Barbara Parks Department at Ocean Beach Park, located at the mouth of the Santa Ynez River.
The core of the proposed work is construction of a new boardwalk along the northern and eastern perimeter of the existing Ocean Beach Park parking lot. In addition to the boardwalk structure itself, the project includes an interpretive kiosk that will provide educational content on local environmental issues, seabird identification, and the natural habitats present in the area. The overall purpose is to improve opportunities for wildlife and habitat viewing while also giving visitors a better understanding of the ecological importance of the site and why protecting and maintaining the resource matters.
This opportunity is structured as a grant in the "Environment" activity category, with one expected award. The total estimated funding is $65,520, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $65,520, indicating a single fixed award amount for the selected applicant rather than a range of possible award sizes. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, and the County anticipates providing $43,920 in in-kind match, covering items such as equipment, labor, and interpretive signage. The anticipated period of performance is five years, meaning the recipient would have up to five years to complete the scope of work and meet grant requirements.
Eligibility is limited to county governments, aligning with the project being implemented by Santa Barbara County. The associated CFDA number is 15.658, labeled "Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation," reflecting the NRDAR framework and the focus on restoration and compensatory projects following natural resource injuries.
Key administrative details include an original and current closing date of July 16, 2010, with a posted and creation date of July 1, 2010, and an archive date of August 15, 2010. The funding opportunity number is listed as NRDAR 81440 1001. For applicants attempting to access the full announcement materials, the notice explains that the "Full Announcement" button on the posting does not function and provides an alternate navigation path through the "Application" button and subsequent download links to reach the full instructions and required application forms. For technical access issues, the point of contact is Dwight (Ike) Luginbill, Grants/Agreements Assistant with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 209-946-6400 x340.
