Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0099
The Great Egg Harbor River CMP Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 17 NERO 0099) is a National Park Service (Department of the Interior) discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.962. It is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition, with one expected award and a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $140,000. The notice was created July 19, 2017, with an original closing date of July 28, 2017, reflecting the public-notice timeline rather than a competitive application window.
The intended recipient and primary implementing partner is the Great Egg Harbor Watershed Association (GEHWA). The overall purpose is to carry out on-the-ground implementation and support activities tied to the Great Egg Harbor River Comprehensive Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (CMP/EIS), focusing on long-term protection of the river and its outstandingly remarkable resources. The cooperative agreement structure signals that the work is expected to be collaborative, with close coordination between the National Park Service and GEHWA rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
A major component of the work involves helping local governments manage and protect river resources through planning and technical assistance. GEHWA is tasked with assisting municipalities as they update or review Local River Management Plans, answering information requests, and providing limited technical support. This also includes participating in municipal zoning and planning meetings when proposals or policy decisions arise that could affect the river, its watershed, or related natural and cultural resources. In practice, this means being present where local land-use decisions are made and helping ensure those decisions align with the river protection goals set out in the CMP/EIS.
Another core responsibility is coordination across agencies and organizations that influence watershed management. GEHWA will work with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the New Jersey Pinelands Commission, counties, municipalities, and nonprofit partners to advance the CMP/EIS goals. This collaboration is meant to align regulatory, planning, conservation, and community efforts so that river management is consistent across jurisdictions and sectors.
Education and public interpretation are also central to the scope. GEHWA will support the development and production of educational materials and outreach products, including interpretive exhibits, publications, and other media and programs that help the public understand the river and watershed. These efforts are intended to increase awareness, encourage stewardship, and build community support for protection measures by translating technical resource information into accessible formats.
The agreement also covers broader project support for river protection, including planning, education, outreach, and research. GEHWA will provide technical and financial support for activities that advance these areas as they relate to the Great Egg Harbor River. The notice further anticipates an evolving workload, specifying that GEHWA may provide staff support under future amendments to the agreement, and that GEHWA may serve as the lead partner on specific projects and grants when there is shared interest with the National Park Service.
Governance and council support are explicitly included. GEHWA will support the needs and goals of the Great Egg Harbor National Scenic and Recreational River Council (described as a subsidiary of GEHWA). This suggests the funding is meant to strengthen the council's ability to guide, coordinate, and advocate for river protection and implementation priorities tied to the river's scenic and recreational designation.
Finally, technical capacity building through data and mapping is emphasized via GIS support. GEHWA will provide GIS analysis, technical assistance, and recommendations to the National Park Service, municipalities, other nongovernmental organizations, and the State of New Jersey related to management of river resources. In addition to these defined tasks, GEHWA will provide general technical assistance to the National Park Service across all of the listed activities, reinforcing that this award is designed to support an ongoing, integrated implementation partnership rather than a single standalone project.Apply for NPS 17 NERO 0099
