DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 

Grant Award to the Nature Conservancy

agency: U.S. Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office.

action: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

summary: The Department of Energy, Richland Operations Office, 
announces that pursuant to Paragraph B of 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i), it 
intends to issue a noncompetitive grant award to The Nature 
Conservancy. The award is planned for a three (3) year project cycle, 
consisting of three (3) separately funded one (1) year budget periods. 
The initial budget is estimated at $250,000.

for further information contact: Melanie P. Fletcher, U.S. Department 
of Energy, Richland Operations Office, P.O. Box 550, Richland, 
Washington 99352, Telephone: (509) 376-4828.

supplementary information: Grant Award Number: DE-FG06-94RL12858. Scope 
of Project: The proposed financial assistance award is a grant to The 
Nature Conservancy to fund a Biodiversity Inventory and Analysis 
Program on the Hanford Site. The activities will include inventorying 
plants, animals, and ecologically significant areas. In addition, the 
inventory work will assist DOE in identifying the location of 
threatened and endangered species on the Hanford Site and thereby 
afford the proper protection and/or mitigation required per the 
Threatened and Endangered Species Act.
    The Nature Conservancy is currently performing activities related 
to those proposed at the Hanford Site utilizing their own resources. 
The public benefit derived from these activities could be greatly 
enhanced with Department of Energy financial support. It has been 
determined that a grant instrument is appropriate since the Department 
of Energy anticipates limited direct involvement with the program.

Director, Procurement Division, Richland Operations Office.
