About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, through its Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), is seeking research and technical support for watershed management modeling and analyses for the Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri area. The primary tasks include SWAT+ modeling of the Big Piney River and Roubidoux Creek watersheds, assessment of model outputs to prioritize watersheds for Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Low Impact Development (LID) features, and the development of a Watershed Management Plan to be incorporated into the Fort Leonard Wood Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan. The funding opportunity is restricted to non-federal partners of the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU), and applications will be accepted in a two-phase process, with Statements of Interest due by July 24, 2024 and full proposals (if invited) due by August 12, 2024.
The estimated award ceiling for this cooperative agreement is $230,000, with a 3-year period of performance. The work is to be conducted in the Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri area, which is a karst landscape setting.
Synopsis
The government seeks research and technical support for watershed management modeling and analyses for water quantity and quality, impacts to aquatic species, and effects of extreme rainfall events to take place at the Fort Leonard Wood, MO area. Details of primary tasks are as follows:
Task 1: Watershed modeling
SWAT+ modeling will be completed for the Big Piney River (a HUC 12 watershed) and Roubidoux Creek (part of the Upper Gasconade HUC 12 watershed). The area around FLW is a karst landscape. Models will be calibrated using USGS stream gages and TSS sampling data supplied by FLW and ERDC-CERL. Task 1 consists of 2 (two) subtasks. a) Model(s) will incorporate existing climate and watershed/management conditions, b) model(s) will incorporate the recommended areal coverage of BMP types and management practices into the SWAT+ models to estimate change to water quality and discharge under existing climate conditions, Note: ERDC-CERL will assist with creating recommended BMPs and management practices.
Task 2: Assess model output and determine management prioritization
Interpretation and evaluation of model results to prioritize watersheds to target with proposed BMPs and management. Analyses will include statistical methods to justify periodization. The cost of BMP implementation and ongoing operations and management cost and the potential water quality and quantity impacts will also be included. Standard maintenance plans for all recommended BMPs will be required.
Task 3: Develop a Watershed Management Plan
Develop a Watershed Management Plan with recommended preliminary designs and locations for future development of LID features and BMPs to protect imperiled aquatic species, reduce infrastructure maintenance costs, and support current and future land usages. The final Watershed Management Plan will be included in the FLW Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) and used by land management groups on FLW including the Directorate of Public Works (DPW), Training, Mobilization & Security (DPTMS), and Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) as well as the adjacent Mark Twain State Forest.
