DEC and NEIWPCC announce $130,000 for Restoration of Watershed Connectivity and Improved Road Infrastructure
DEC in partnership with NEIWPCC is inviting proposals for projects prepare communities to restore aquatic habitat connectivity for herring and eel, reduce localized flood risks, and improve conditions on Hudson River estuary tributaries. The purpose of the funding is to develop regional municipal management plans and designs to improve inadequate road-stream crossings focused on priority sites for flood mitigation and/or stream habitat for fish in multiple municipalities.
The deadline for proposals is June 10, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. The "Restoration of Watershed Connectivity and Improved Road Infrastructure" RFP with application requirements and instructions on how to apply is available on NEIWPCC's website.
There is a total of $130,000 available through this RFP. We anticipate supporting one project to develop plans for two or more municipalities, which include four or more conceptual designs for each municipality (at least eight conceptual designs total).
