Opportunity Summary:
The WRP Wetlands Restoration Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS NH 12 002) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) New Hampshire State Office to support hands-on implementation of wetland restoration projects on properties enrolled in the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). The core purpose is to help carry out restoration and enhancement plans that have already been developed for enrolled lands, with an emphasis on restoring wetland functions and associated upland habitat in ways that deliver measurable public benefits. Those benefits include stronger wildlife habitat in wetland systems, improved water quality, reduced soil erosion, decreased flood impacts through better natural water storage and flow, and increased habitat opportunities for threatened and endangered species.
In practical terms, the award is aimed at entities that can assist both NRCS and participating landowners with the on-the-ground steps required to implement WRP restoration plans. Work may cover some or all phases of implementation, including helping select and coordinate appropriate contractors, ensuring required state permits are identified and obtained, conducting inspections, and providing construction management for wetland restoration and enhancement practices. The expectation is that all implemented practices meet NRCS standards and specifications, which generally means the partner must be capable of managing technical, regulatory, and field execution details while protecting the environmental integrity of the restoration site.
Funding availability for the announcement is estimated at $500,000 total, with an expected two awards. Individual awards may range from a floor of $10,000 up to a ceiling of $500,000, depending on the scope and scale of proposed work. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which can make participation more accessible for applicants that can deliver qualified implementation capacity without bringing additional non-federal match.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement under additional eligibility information. The opportunity falls under CFDA 10.072 (Wetlands Reserve Program) and is categorized within Agriculture, Environment, and Natural Resources, reflecting its dual focus on conservation outcomes and land management practices.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on April 12, 2012, with an application closing date of May 15, 2012, and an archive date of June 14, 2012.
