Opportunity Summary:
The Wetland Restoration in PPJV Priority Areas of the Iowa Wetland Management District opportunity is a Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) cooperative agreement designed to fund hands-on wetland basin restoration work on Waterfowl Production Areas (WPAs) within the Iowa Wetland Management District. The effort is built on an existing Memorandum of Understanding between USFWS and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IADNR), which authorizes IADNR to use federal funds to manage and restore wetland prairie habitat on behalf of the Service. In practical terms, the grant supports habitat restoration in places where state and federal conservation lands sit next to each other, so the work strengthens larger, connected habitat blocks rather than isolated sites.
The main goal is to restore wetland basins that are essential to the life cycles of wetland-dependent migratory birds, including waterfowl and other species that rely on prairie pothole wetlands for breeding, feeding, and staging during migration. The WPAs targeted by the project are located within defined Prairie Pothole Joint Venture (PPJV) priority complexes. These PPJV complexes are landscape-scale focus areas where conservation investments are intended to deliver outsized benefits because they combine multiple protected parcels, both state and federally managed, into a more functional habitat network. By restoring basins within these priority complexes, the project aims to increase the overall wildlife value of the region and align on-the-ground work with shared PPJV objectives.
The announcement identifies two specific locations for restoration work. One is within the Jemmerson Slough Wetland Complex in Dickinson County, Iowa. The other is at Jenkins WPA within the Kiowa Marsh Wetland Complex in Sac County, Iowa. Funding is intended to provide the resources needed to complete restoration projects in these areas, with the emphasis on restoring wetland basin function. While the notice does not list specific engineering or construction tasks, wetland basin restoration in this context generally centers on re-establishing natural hydrology and wetland conditions that support diverse plant communities and dependable water availability for birds and other wildlife.
A defining feature of this award is the level of federal involvement. Rather than being a pass-through grant with limited oversight, USFWS anticipates substantial involvement throughout implementation. USFWS and IADNR will share active roles in technical planning and project oversight, and will also participate in monitoring and evaluation to track outcomes. The agencies also plan to coordinate on reporting and ongoing management, reflecting a cooperative approach where the Service remains engaged in key decisions and performance assessment during and after restoration.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary, environment/natural resources funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant). The Funding Opportunity Number is F14AS00110, and the CFDA listing provided is 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, generic training). The total estimated funding is $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and an award floor of $45,000. Only one award is expected.
There is no open application process for this opportunity. The notice is a stated intent to make a single-source award to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Bureau under the cited justification (505 DM 2.14B, items 1, 2, and 3). Cost sharing or matching is not required. The posting date is March 7, 2014, and the archive date is March 15, 2014. For questions or access issues, the listed contact is Daniel Lovdahl at USFWS (612-713-5193, DanielLovdahl@fws.gov).
