About this program
The Department of the Army administers the Beach Erosion Control Projects program (CFDA 12.101) to control beach and shore erosion on public shores through projects not specifically authorized by Congress, with the most recent grant award made on October 1, 2014.
Program activity has stalled significantly. The portfolio shows 12 total awards spanning 2007 to 2014, with the last award over twelve years ago. Award cadence was sporadic: two awards in 2007, two in 2011, one in 2013, and seven in 2014. No grant opportunities have been posted recently, and no new awards have been disbursed since the 2014 cluster.
The program funds beach erosion control projects through a design-and-construct model in which the Corps of Engineers designs and constructs the project while the nonfederal sponsoring agency bears substantial local participation costs. Eligible applicants are states, political subdivisions of states, or other responsible local agencies established under state law. Applicants must demonstrate legal authorization, financial capability, and willingness to provide all necessary local participation. The nonfederal sponsor must cost-share feasibility studies on an equal basis with the federal government, contribute cash and in-kind services toward project costs, provide lands and easements, maintain the completed project, and ensure continued public ownership and public use of the beach. The federal cost limit per project is $2,000,000.
All funding flows through the Department of the Army. The assistance type is exclusively Cooperative Agreements—all 12 awards in the portfolio. Combined federal dollars obligated total $13.2 million against a combined total obligated (federal plus nonfederal share) of $15.6 million, indicating a nonfederal contribution of approximately $2.4 million. Recent awards ranged widely in magnitude: the largest was a $6.8 million cooperative agreement in 2011; others fell between $100 thousand and $2.1 million. Recent award examples include the SC-ANG Fire Protection Program ($1.72 million in 2014) and the DCARNG Distance Learning Program ($2.13 million in 2014).
This program is not actively soliciting new applications. The twelve-year funding hiatus and absence of recent opportunities signal that pursuit is unlikely to yield results without evidence of renewed agency interest.
