The FY21 Arlington National Cemetery Millennium Stream grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 21 2 0001) was a Department of Defense effort administered by NAVFAC Washington, DC to support targeted natural resource repair and maintenance work at Arlington National Cemetery. Offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 12.300, the project was framed around hands-on stream and drainage maintenance meant to restore function, reduce blockage-related impacts, and address localized water management issues within a defined section of the cemetery's waterway infrastructure.

The work scope focused on Millennium Stream and centered on three main tasks. First, the awardee would perform maintenance on the stream plunge pool and the adjacent stream bank, bringing them back to their permitted grades for a segment of up to 100 linear feet of stream extending from the culvert at Ord and Weitzel Drive. This portion of the scope suggests the project was designed to correct erosion, scouring, or sedimentation issues while staying within existing regulatory or design limits already established for the stream channel geometry. Second, the project required removal of fallen trees and the debris dams that had formed at two locations within the stream channel. These obstructions can cause upstream flooding, redirect flows into banks, accelerate erosion, and damage habitat and infrastructure, so their removal is typically a direct maintenance action aimed at restoring normal conveyance and reducing risk during storm events. Third, the opportunity included developing and implementing a drainage solution for water collecting under the Gifford Bridge, indicating a localized chronic drainage or ponding problem that likely affects structural conditions, safety, or maintenance access and needed a practical engineered fix.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was categorized as discretionary and anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $146,530 and an expected number of awards of 1. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full notice. The opportunity was created on November 17, 2020, with an original closing date of January 5, 2021. Overall, the grant was a small, highly specific, site-based natural resources maintenance project with clear deliverables tied to stream channel condition, debris management, and bridge-area drainage performance.
