Estuary Habitat Restoration Program Project Solicitation
On behalf of the Estuary Habitat Restoration Council (Council), the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is soliciting proposals for estuary habitat restoration projects.
Congress has appropriated limited funds to USACE for implementation of the Estuary Habitat Restoration Program (EHRP) as authorized in Section 104 of the Estuary Restoration Act of 2000 (ERA), Title I of the Estuaries and Clean Waters Act of 2000 (Pub.
L.

Eligible projects must provide ecosystem benefits, have scientific merit, be technically feasible, be able to adapt to the impacts associated with climate change, and be cost-effective.

The Council anticipates up to $ 3. 5 million may be available for estuarine habitat restoration; awards are limited to a range between $200,000 and $1 million.

Eligible applicants are institutes of higher education, U. S. Territories, state, local and Indian tribal governments, and non-governmental organizations.
For the purposes of the EHRP, the term "non-governmental organization” does not include for profit enterprises.

In most cases, this means the applicant must have fee title to the lands necessary for the project, although in some cases an easement may be sufficient.
