Answers to some frequently asked questions, for your reference

Is it safe to assume Permitting for projects funded by NCRF will require CEPA/NEPA permitting due to federal funding source?

Learn more about the NCRF Program by visiting https://www.nfwf.org/programs/national-coastal-resilience-fundEmail us at info@throwe-environmental.com with any questions or to discuss potential NCRF proposal ideas

If a community has paid for and received a final feasibility study report, what priority category is next for them?

good question Wayne.. Federal funding triggers different permitting!

what is the appetite for submitting two proposals for the same area when you have two different activities (shoreline protection and Beneficial reuse of marsh interior) that are being progressed at two different time scales (i.e., Shoreline protection implementation and BU design/permitting).

@Jim Feaga - We will get your question at the end so you can explain the situation more. Looks like something you are facing.

Do you know how many Futures Fund awards one nonprofit organization can receive this year? We don't want to compete against ourselves.

important acronyms: LIS = Long Island Sound; LISFF = Long Island Sound Futures Fund (the grant program being presented by Kyle right now)

In addition to the field liaisons with Throwe Environmenta, for support and assistance with LISFF applications, feel free to reach out to Deb Abibou and Alicia Tyson with Connecticut Sea Grant.deb.abibou@uconn.edualicia.f.tyson@uconn.edu

Are the in-kind services able to begin for LISFF on October 1? When would an applicant be notified in 2022 that their grant is awarded?

Would dredging project be considered?

I know Connecticut has many communities with flooding due to stormwater. Should anyone looking at nature-based/green infrastructure solutions for stormwater go to Long Island Sound Futures Fund?

the dredging will allow keeping the tidal connections to a large marsh area.

Would projects awarded CWSRF funding also be eligible for the LISFF funding? E.g., wastewater treatment plant upgrades for nitrogen reduction

It will preserve the marsh from declining

We are going to start taking raised hands shortly for your specific project idea or proposal

Thanks!

Is there a match for NCRF?

I apologize of conflating but is a pre proposal needed for the Sustainable and Resilient Communities funding opportunity?
