Fox River NRDA: The Fox River Green Bay Natural Resource Trustees restore natural resources injured by the release of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) into the Lower Fox River and Green Bay, WI. The Trustees allocate funding, provided by settlement dollars from responsible parties, to restoration projects that fulfill the natural resource objectives of the 2003 Joint Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for The Lower Fox River and Green Bay Area and the 2016 Restoration Plan Update under the authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. A copy of the Restoration Plan and Update can be found at foxrivernrda.org or provided by the agency contact by request. This is not a conventional grants program, in that it does not solicit for projects through a formal request for proposals on Grants.gov; instead, project idea forms are developed strategically in coordination with the Trustee Council. Projects that are funded through the NRDA program must be within the PCB affected area and must replace, restore, or acquire the equivalent of natural resources injured by the release of PCBs. Projects undergo a selection process based on the criteria outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Following the review process, if a project is selected a grant will be awarded. The Service will also award single source grant agreements based on the criteria outlined in Section VI without competition under justification 505DM 2.14.B.4 as appropriate. This award will utilize grants and cooperative agreements; in the situation where a cooperative agreement is awarded the Service will be substantially involved in the project. In particular, the Service will be responsible for the following: providing technical expertise on the project concept with the project manager from the inception and throughout project development, reviewing and approving stages of work before the next stage can begin, reviewing and approving proposed modifications or sub-awards, and will help to direct/redirect work as a result of interrelationships with other projects.
