Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS ACEP SC 18 05
The Easement Monitoring Services opportunity is a USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) cooperative agreement out of the South Carolina State Office focused on helping the agency carry out its practical and legal responsibilities for enforcing conservation easements. NRCS is looking for a partner that can assist with ongoing monitoring of conservation easements to confirm landowners are complying with the terms of the warranty easement deed and that any required operation and maintenance (O&M) plan for restoration practices is being implemented to NRCS standards. The main purpose is preventative as well as corrective: consistent monitoring is intended to catch potential issues early, deter violations before they occur, and support proper participation in the easement programs.
Funding is available up to $175,000 total for a 3-year project period, with NRCS expecting to make one award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means NRCS anticipates substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on monitoring priorities, reporting expectations, and alignment with NRCS technical standards). The opportunity is categorized under agriculture, environment, and natural resources, and is tied to CFDA 10.931.
Eligibility is broad and includes Federally recognized tribal governments, state governments, and local government entities (including counties, cities or townships, and special districts), as well as public and private institutions of higher education. Non-governmental organizations can also apply, including nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). In practical terms, NRCS is seeking an organization that shares the conservation mission and has the capacity to conduct field-based or documentation-based compliance monitoring and communicate findings in a way that supports NRCS enforcement and stewardship responsibilities.
Applications are competitively reviewed and must follow the notice instructions closely. Proposals are screened first for completeness and compliance with the solicitation requirements; submissions that are incomplete or do not meet the stated provisions are removed from consideration and the applicant is notified. The original posting indicates the opportunity was created May 21, 2018, with an original application deadline of June 22, 2018 at 5:00 PM Eastern. The official opportunity identifiers are Funding Opportunity Number USDA NRCS ACEP SC 18 05 and the title Easement Monitoring Services.Apply for USDA NRCS ACEP SC 18 05
