Opportunity Information: Apply for CESU NWO 05
The grant opportunity titled "ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY FOR TIMBER HARVEST AT FT DRUM, NY" (Funding Opportunity Number: CESU NWO 05) is a discretionary funding notice for an environmental compliance project tied to planned timber harvest activities at Fort Drum, New York. The core purpose is to fund an archaeological survey that helps identify, document, and evaluate any cultural or historical resources that could be affected by timber operations on the installation. In practical terms, this kind of work is typically used to support responsible land management and ensure federal actions like timber harvest are carried out in compliance with cultural resource protection requirements, such as avoiding or mitigating impacts to archaeological sites or other historic properties.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which usually means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The issuing agency is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District (listed as "Omaha District"), and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 12.632, which corresponds to Department of Defense programs supporting conservation and related activities. The funding activity category is listed as "Environment," reflecting that the work supports environmental stewardship and compliance, even though the specific tasks are archaeological in nature.
Eligibility is restricted: only members of the Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) are allowed to submit proposals. The announcement repeats this requirement and points applicants to the CESU website (http://www.chesapeakecesu.com/) for membership and program details. Although the eligible applicants field is broadly listed as "Others," the CESU membership restriction is the controlling condition, so non-member entities would not be able to compete unless they are already part of the Chesapeake Watershed CESU network.
The opportunity had an original closing date of June 13, 2016, and it anticipated making one award. The award ceiling was $77,000, indicating the maximum amount expected for the project under this solicitation. The posting shows a creation date of May 13, 2016, which suggests a roughly one-month application window. Overall, this is a targeted, single-award cooperative agreement intended to secure qualified archaeological services for Fort Drum timber harvest planning, limited to a specific CESU partnership network.Apply for CESU NWO 05
