Opportunity Information: Apply for N40080 19 2 0003
The Department of Defense, through NAVFAC Washington, DC, issued a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Surveys and Design/Wetland Conversion Plan, Schmidt Property, Park Hall, MD" (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 19 2 0003; CFDA 12.300) to support environmental planning tied to future Navy installation development. The need behind the project is that Naval Air Station Patuxent River and, in particular, Webster Outlying Field face serious limits on available land for mission growth. Large portions of these installations cannot easily be developed because of airfield operational constraints, steep terrain, floodplains, archaeological resources, existing built areas, explosive safety arcs, and extensive wetlands. As a result, wetland impacts may become an option for future construction, even though it is considered undesirable and heavily regulated.
The core purpose of the award is to generate the technical and scientific groundwork required to evaluate wetlands on the Schmidt Property in Park Hall, Maryland, and to produce a design for wetland conversion that could be used as part of a compensatory mitigation strategy. When wetlands are disturbed for authorized development, the Navy must comply with requirements under the Clean Water Act, including Section 404 permitting, and Executive Order 11990 (Protection of Wetlands). These policies require federal agencies to avoid building in wetlands unless there is no practicable alternative, and to minimize harm when impacts cannot be avoided. They also align with the national policy goal of "no net loss of wetlands," meaning that when wetland impacts are unavoidable, the lost acreage, ecological functions, and values typically must be offset through mitigation acceptable to environmental regulators.
To meet those compliance and permitting needs, the cooperative agreement focuses on a wetland functions and values investigation and the development of a wetland conversion design. The investigative work described includes multiple field and analytical components: a formal wetlands delineation to define wetland boundaries; a topographic survey to capture site elevations and drainage patterns; a soil survey to characterize soils relevant to wetland identification and performance; installation of hydrology monitoring wells, followed by monitoring to document water table behavior and wetland hydrology; and the associated data analysis and compilation needed to interpret and defend the results. Collectively, these surveys and datasets are intended to provide defensible technical documentation that can support future decisions about wetland impacts, avoidance and minimization measures, and any necessary compensatory mitigation planning and design.
Administratively, the opportunity was open to unrestricted applicants (subject to any additional eligibility language in the full notice), anticipated a single award, and used a cooperative agreement instrument, which generally implies the government expects substantial involvement during project execution compared with a standard grant. The posting lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates the funding amount was not specified in the public summary or would be defined through the solicitation details or negotiation. The opportunity was created on June 27, 2019, with an original closing date of July 26, 2019.Apply for N40080 19 2 0003
