About this opportunity

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Service (NPS), intention to fund the following project activities without competition. ABSTRACT Funding Announcement P15AS00368 Project Title Enhanced Wetland Monitoring Relative to Ungulate Management in Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve Recipient Colorado State University Total Anticipated Award Amount $29,999.00 Cost Share none Anticipated Length of Agreement From date of final signature through December 31, 2018 Anticipated Period of Performance From date of final signature through December 31, 2018 Award Instrument Cooperative Agreement Statutory Authority 54 USC 101702(a) & (b); 54 USC 100703 CFDA # and Title 15.945 Cooperative Research & Training Programs-Resources of NPS CESUs Single Source Justification Criteria Cited (2) Continuation Point of Contact June Zastrow 303-987-6718 [email protected] OVERVIEW Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve (GSDNP) is preparing and Ungulate Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (UMP/EIS) and, based on input and advice from the planning team, is to build upon and enhance existing Rocky Mountain Network (ROMN) Wetland Ecological Integrity (WEI) monitoring to provide information for the UMP/EIS and other potential future management actions at GSDNP. This project focuses on evaluating and monitoring the response of wetlands to ungulate management, hydrology and climate change in GSDNP. It will provide scientists, managers and the public with an understanding of how wetland and riparian communities regulated by weather and near surface hydrology respond to recent and greatly increased ungulate use as well as climate change and other stressors. This applies to wetlands in the park and in other areas in the San Luis Valley and other high elevation arid environments. The project also provides research, learning and seasonal employment opportunities for current and recent undergraduate and graduate students who will conduct the fieldwork. STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Cooperatively with the Wetlands Program of the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) at Colorado State Univ. (CSU) plan for and implement enhanced wetland monitoring. The CHNP Wetlands Program has many years of experience monitoring wetlands in the San Luis Valley and across Colorado. CNHP is also very familiar with GSDNP having been a partner with NPS and others to complete the GSDNP vegetation map and inventory. The objectives of this Task Agreement include a draft enhanced wetland monitoring plan of wetlands relative to the UMP/EIS; a first round of field a certified dataset for those sites, and a report detailing the analysis of the data relative to ungulates in GSDNP. The report will include draft ecological thresholds and/or management assessment points. The results of this work will include estimates of wetland status and ecological thresholds and management assessment points. The results are intended to inform the UMP/EIS process and content. The results are also intended to help park staff, scientists and the public understand the dynamics of hydrology, vegetation and ungulates, and how wetland and riparian systems could respond to climate change, ungulate management, and potential future management actions such as hydrological restoration ( removing wells or ditches). RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT 1. Work with the NPS ROMN to collaboratively adapt the ROMN Wetland Ecological Integrity Monitoring protocol to inform the UMP/EIS process and content. 2. Provide a field crew to conduct the work. 3. Recruit, train and supervise field technicians assigned to the project. Ensure that crew members have good botanical ID skills and are able to work safely in the remote back country of GSDNP. 4. Work with NPS-ROMN data management staff to adapt the ROMN WEI database so it can manage the field data collected during this project.
