Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00334
The "Upper Coosa Habitat Restoration" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00334) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Department of the Interior) discretionary funding action under CFDA 15.631, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. It was posted on August 12, 2019, with an original closing date of August 19, 2019. Even though the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted," the key detail is that this is not a competitive solicitation. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to a single source, meaning there is no full announcement package and no open competition process associated with it.
The Service indicates it intends to make one award (Expected Awards: 1) to a specific recipient: the Coosa River Basin Initiative. The purpose of the funding is habitat restoration and related conservation work in the Upper Coosa River system, targeting stressors affecting aquatic ecosystems in two priority watersheds: the Conasauga and the Etowah. The work is geographically focused rather than broad statewide programming, with named streams called out as the primary project areas.
In the Conasauga Watershed, the projects are expected to concentrate mainly on the mainstem Conasauga River, Colvard Spring, and Holly Creek. In the Etowah Watershed, the focus shifts to Raccoon Creek, Smithwick Creek, and Cochran Creek. The intent is to support on-the-ground actions that measurably improve stream condition and aquatic habitat quality in these specific reaches, rather than general planning or outreach alone.
The allowable uses of funds, as described, cover a fairly standard set of river and stream restoration activities. This includes assessing site conditions and stressors, designing restoration projects, and implementing stream restoration using natural channel design approaches (methods that aim to restore stable channel form and function by working with geomorphology and hydrology rather than relying on hard engineering alone). Funds may also be used to remove or modify barriers that block aquatic organism passage, such as undersized culverts or other in-stream obstructions that fragment habitat and prevent fish and other aquatic species from reaching spawning, feeding, or refuge areas. Additional eligible actions include increasing in-stream habitat complexity (for example, adding or restoring features like woody structure, riffle-pool sequences, and varied substrate conditions) and addressing nonpoint source pollution, which typically refers to diffuse runoff-related pollution from the surrounding landscape (sediment, nutrients, and other contaminants entering waterways through stormwater and erosion rather than a single discharge pipe).
Overall, this notice describes a targeted, single-recipient cooperative agreement meant to advance practical habitat restoration in priority tributaries of the Conasauga and Etowah Watersheds within the Upper Coosa Basin. The cooperative agreement format also signals that the Fish and Wildlife Service likely expects substantial involvement or coordination during project implementation, which is common for restoration work that requires close technical oversight, partner alignment, and adaptive management as site conditions and designs are refined.Apply for F19AS00334
