Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS AR MULTI 20 GEN0010468
The "Arkansas easement restoration" opportunity is a competitive cooperative agreement offered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Arkansas to support wetland and related upland restoration work on eligible properties enrolled in, or associated with, the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP), and the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program. The overall purpose is to help landowners plan, design, and carry out restoration projects that improve wetland function and habitat value while also delivering practical environmental benefits such as better water quality, less soil erosion, reduced flood impacts, and improved conditions for wildlife, including threatened and endangered species.
Funding is intended for applicants who can provide on-the-ground technical assistance and project delivery support to landowners. The work can cover the full spectrum of restoration assistance, including developing restoration plans and then helping implement them in a way that meets NRCS standards and specifications. Activities may include engineering surveys, preliminary and final engineering designs, field inspection, and construction management for wetland restoration, enhancement, or creation practices, along with other related conservation practices needed to achieve the restoration goals. In other words, NRCS is looking for partners who can take projects from concept and design through implementation oversight, ensuring the work is done correctly and produces measurable conservation outcomes.
Eligible applicants include non-government organizations, tribes, and individuals, as described in the opportunity materials (with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice). Awards are structured as cooperative agreements, which typically means NRCS expects substantial involvement and coordination during the project period rather than simply issuing funds with minimal agency engagement. The program anticipates a base year of performance with the possibility of up to four additional one-year option periods, allowing projects and partnerships to continue over multiple years if options are exercised.
Administratively, applications had to be complete and compliant with the notice requirements to be considered. NRCS stated that incomplete applications would be removed from competition, and applicants would be notified by mail if eliminated. Proposals were due to the NRCS State Office by 5:00 p.m. Central Time on December 30, 2019, with submission allowed by hand delivery, mail/courier, or electronically through Grants.gov (with a caution that applicants were responsible for starting the Grants.gov process early enough to avoid technical issues). The funding opportunity number is USDA NRCS AR MULTI 20 GEN0010468, it falls under discretionary funding, and it is associated with CFDA numbers 10.072, 10.923, and 10.931. The maximum award amount listed is $5,000,000, and NRCS expected to make about five awards under this announcement.Apply for USDA NRCS AR MULTI 20 GEN0010468
