EBTJV contacts for brook trout and project locations

Applicants are required to contact their EBTJV state or federal point of contact prior to submitting a pre-application. To get further insight on specific project locations, you should contact your EBTJV point of contact (below) to ask if they would review your project idea, should you be selected for a full proposal. You need to initiate contact by the July 15 deadline for pre-applications.

The assessment tool is a screening resource and does not replace required coordination with the EBTJV point of contact

For the NFHP/EBTJV RFP, you will need to request a letter of support from this person in order to attach the letter to your application by the final due date, should you be selected for a full proposal. This letter will address multiple aspects of the project and applicant’s readiness, including the objectives, location (including if the habitat can or will support brook trout, and if invasive species that could access the project site are considered), whether genetic data have been collected or referenced where appropriate, thoughtfulness of a monitoring plan, and potential for long-term success.

Examples of eligible projects include (but are not limited to):

restoring aquatic connectivity by removing small dams and replacing undersized culverts;
executing strategies that eliminate competition from non-native species (including removal);
planting native shrubs and trees in riparian zones to provide shade and stream bank stabilization;
adding large woody material to streams to add complexity, improve sediment sorting, and reconnect groundwater;
restoring native brook trout to watersheds where it has been extirpated; and
implementing watershed conservation practices that reduce sediment and nutrient pollution.

Projects are evaluated in context of whether the root causes of brook trout decline have been or will be addressed as a first step, and if available physical and biological data have been considered. Additionally, efforts to maintain or improve public access, educate the public and other stakeholders about the conservation actions, and monitor project outcomes should ideally be included as components of a successful project (but are not eligible as a stand alone project).

Proposals MUST show

pertinent sponsor experience and project management
ecological benefits
measurable goals and objectives
appropriate monitoring and evaluation plan
how project will address at least one EBTJV objective; and
strong nonfederal match

Coordination with your EBTJV point of contact is meant to help you with ensuring your project is a good fit for EBTJV funding. Past funded projects are highlighted on our website.
