Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 17 11
The grant opportunity titled "WETLANDS/FLOODPLAINS MGT - EDWARDS AFB" (Funding Opportunity Number: NWO CESU 17 11) is a discretionary Department of Defense funding announcement administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District. The award is intended to be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordinating on technical direction, review of deliverables, access to installation data, and alignment with agency standards). The opportunity falls under the Environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 12.632. The posting was created on July 26, 2017, with an original application deadline of August 26, 2017.
The project is focused on wetlands and floodplains management needs at Edwards Air Force Base (Edwards AFB) in California, with the work centered on hydrology, surface-water behavior, and the condition and operational suitability of key dry lakebed environments. The government describes three main objectives. First, the recipient would update the Mojave Creek Flood Assessment, which likely involves revisiting prior flood hazard or flood risk analyses, incorporating any new hydrologic data, revised watershed conditions, updated topographic information, or improved modeling approaches, and producing an updated assessment that can support decision-making for infrastructure, natural resource protection, and mission operations.
Second, the work includes assessing the "health and feasibility of use" of Rogers Dry Lake. In practical terms, that implies evaluating the condition of the lakebed system and whether it can reliably support its intended uses at Edwards AFB. Because Rogers Dry Lake is historically important to flight testing and other operations, a health and feasibility assessment can include physical and environmental indicators such as surface integrity, sediment characteristics, erosion or deposition patterns, drainage behavior, and any ecological or environmental compliance considerations that might constrain or inform how the area can be used.
Third, the project calls for surface flow studies at both Rogers Dry Lake and Rosamond Dry Lake. Surface flow studies typically aim to understand how water moves across the landscape during storm events, including where sheet flow concentrates, how runoff is routed, where ponding occurs, and how flow paths change with varying rainfall intensity or antecedent conditions. The outcome of this work would generally be technical analyses and mapping that help the base manage floodplain and wetland-related concerns, anticipate operational impacts from flooding or surface water, and plan mitigation or management actions.
The anticipated funding profile indicates one expected award with an award ceiling of $535,545. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the original announcement's eligibility section, suggesting the competition may have been limited to a particular group (often in similar DoD/USACE contexts this can relate to a CESU network or other specified partnership framework). Overall, the opportunity is a single-project cooperative agreement aimed at delivering updated flood assessment products, condition and usability evaluation of Rogers Dry Lake, and detailed surface flow analyses for two major dry lake systems supporting environmental management and installation mission needs at Edwards AFB.Apply for NWO CESU 17 11

How many main objectives are described for the project?
The government describes three main objectives.
What is the first major objective?
The first objective is to update the Mojave Creek Flood Assessment.
What kinds of updates might be included in the Mojave Creek Flood Assessment update?
Based on the description, the update likely involves revisiting prior flood hazard or flood risk analyses and incorporating items such as new hydrologic data, revised watershed conditions, updated topographic information, or improved modeling approaches, resulting in an updated assessment that can support decision-making.
How is the updated Mojave Creek Flood Assessment expected to be used?
The updated assessment is described as supporting decision-making for infrastructure, natural resource protection, and mission operations.
What is the second major objective?
The second objective is to assess the "health and feasibility of use" of Rogers Dry Lake.
What does "health and feasibility of use" mean in this context?
In practical terms, it implies evaluating the condition of the Rogers Dry Lake lakebed system and whether it can reliably support its intended uses at Edwards AFB, considering physical and environmental indicators.
What factors might be evaluated as part of the Rogers Dry Lake health and feasibility assessment?
The description indicates the assessment can include items such as surface integrity, sediment characteristics, erosion or deposition patterns, drainage behavior, and ecological or environmental compliance considerations that might constrain or inform use.
Why is Rogers Dry Lake specifically important to this project?
Rogers Dry Lake is described as historically important to flight testing and other operations, which is why understanding its condition and usability is tied to operational suitability at Edwards AFB.
What is the third major objective?
The third objective is to conduct surface flow studies at both Rogers Dry Lake and Rosamond Dry Lake.
What are "surface flow studies" expected to examine?
