Opportunity Information: Apply for W911KB 24 2 5801
The Donnelly Training Area, Black Rapids Training Area, and Yukon Training Area Trail and Streambank Improvements opportunity is a U.S. Army Garrison-Alaska (USAG-AK) funding announcement focused on environmental stewardship and land management improvements at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, specifically across three major training areas: Donnelly, Black Rapids, and Yukon. The project is framed around keeping military training lands usable and resilient by addressing trail conditions and streambank impacts that can degrade habitat, increase erosion and sedimentation, and ultimately create environmental compliance issues that could limit or complicate training activities. In practical terms, the work supports both readiness and conservation by improving how people and vehicles move across the landscape and by stabilizing or restoring streambanks and related riparian areas that are sensitive to disturbance.
The primary goals are clearly mission-supportive while remaining anchored in natural resource protection. The Army is seeking support to manage training lands in an “optimal” way, reduce the chance that natural-resource constraints trigger restrictions on training, protect and enhance ecological health across USAG-AK lands, and ensure compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Because training areas can experience heavy use, trails can become persistent sources of erosion, widening, rutting, and braided pathways, while streambanks can be undercut or destabilized, increasing turbidity and sediment loads downstream. Improvements in these areas typically aim to reduce further damage, repair existing impacts, and put durable measures in place so that the same problems do not quickly return.
This funding opportunity is issued as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on technical approach, site access, schedules, deliverables, and compliance requirements). The administering agency is listed as the Alaska District, and the program aligns with an environmental funding activity category under CFDA number 12.005. The legal authority cited is 16 U.S.C. 670c-1(a), which is associated with Department of Defense natural resources conservation efforts and is commonly used to support work that improves or protects military lands while advancing environmental stewardship goals.
Applicants are broad and include state governments, county governments, cities or townships, federally recognized tribal governments, individuals, and other entities such as nonprofits. That eligibility spread suggests the Army is open to partnering with a wide range of capable organizations, including local and tribal entities with regional knowledge, specialized ecological restoration groups, engineering and conservation partners, and others with demonstrated capacity to plan and implement land and streambank stabilization work in Alaska conditions. The focus on trail and streambank improvements implies the successful applicant will likely need expertise in field implementation logistics, erosion control and drainage design, riparian protection, construction best practices in sensitive environments, and monitoring or maintenance planning, especially given the harsh climate and seasonal constraints typical of Interior Alaska.
Key funding details include an opportunity number of W911KB 24 2 5801, an original closing date of July 12, 2024, an award ceiling of $1,598,400, and an expectation of one award. With a single anticipated award and a relatively high ceiling, this appears structured as a consolidated project effort rather than multiple smaller sub-awards, meaning the chosen partner may be expected to deliver a coordinated set of improvements across the three training areas under one integrated work plan and budget.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a readiness-and-resources project: improving training area trails and stabilizing or restoring streambanks to reduce erosion, protect water and habitat quality, and keep the Army in compliance with environmental requirements, thereby avoiding training limitations tied to land degradation. The full technical scope, performance expectations, and required deliverables are referenced as being in Section I of the full Funding Opportunity Description, which would provide the definitive details on specific sites, methods, timelines, reporting, and coordination requirements.Apply for W911KB 24 2 5801

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Donnelly Training Area, Black Rapids Training Area, and Yukon Training Area Trail and Streambank Improvements opportunity?
This is a U.S. Army Garrison-Alaska (USAG-AK) funding announcement for environmental stewardship and land management improvements at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. The work is focused on trail condition improvements and streambank (riparian) impact reduction across three training areas: Donnelly, Black Rapids, and Yukon.
Who is offering and administering this funding opportunity?
The opportunity is offered by U.S. Army Garrison-Alaska (USAG-AK), with the administering agency listed as the Alaska District.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The project is intended to keep military training lands usable and resilient by addressing trail-related erosion and streambank impacts that can degrade habitat, increase erosion and sedimentation, and create environmental compliance issues that could limit or complicate training activities.
Which locations are included in the project area?
The project focuses on Fort Wainwright, Alaska, specifically within the Donnelly Training Area, Black Rapids Training Area, and Yukon Training Area.
What types of impacts is the Army trying to address?
The announcement highlights impacts commonly associated with heavy training-area use, including trail erosion, trail widening, rutting, braided pathways, and streambank undercutting or destabilization. These impacts can increase turbidity and sediment loads downstream and affect habitat and water quality.
How does this project support both readiness and conservation?
The work is framed as mission-supportive while protecting natural resources. By improving trails and stabilizing or restoring streambanks, the project reduces ongoing land degradation and helps prevent natural-resource constraints from triggering restrictions on training, while also protecting ecological health and water/habitat quality.
What are the stated project goals?
The stated goals include managing training lands in an optimal way, reducing the chance that natural-resource constraints lead to training restrictions, protecting and enhancing ecological health across USAG-AK lands, and ensuring compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.
What is the expected award instrument?
The opportunity is described as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement.
What does it mean that this is a cooperative agreement?
Based on the description provided, a cooperative agreement generally indicates the federal agency expects substantial involvement during the project. That can include coordination on the technical approach, site access, schedules, deliverables, and compliance requirements.
