Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) 

Improving access to and within federal and tribal lands

MAP-21 Funding Authorized: FY 2013: $3,013,711 FY 2014: $3,036,350 FY 2015: $2,975,477 Federal land acreage for the five core FLMAs: 8.35% Federal public road miles: 1,471.4 Number of Federal public bridges: 232 Recreational visitation: 68,287,602 visitors per year 

Success story: Potomac Heritage Trail at Featherstone Wildlife Refuge, Prince William County. This project will construct a 1.2 mile segment of the National Park Service Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail to provide access to Fish and Wildlife Service Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge. The work will consist of designing and constructing several segments of boardwalk totaling approximately 1,750 linear feet and the installation of 1 bridge over Farm Creek. The proposed boardwalk sections will be 6 inches wide and set on 6-inch by 6-inch piers in concrete footings. The bridge will likely be a reinforced fiberglass design that is approximately 8 feet to 10 feet wide and 60 feet long. An accessible ramp will be constructed from the commuter rail landing platform to grade level. This ramp will be constructed through a development proffer, which is legally binding, and all parties have reached agreements regarding access and legal liability. Prince William County Parks and Recreation is working with the USFWS to acquire right-of-way. Currently, the refuge is only accessible by hand carried watercraft such as canoes or kayaks. This project will allow safe pedestrian access to the refuge and connections to the Virginia Railway Express and the Potomac Heritage Trail. Featherstone National Wildlife Refuge would become a major destination as part of an 830 mile network of existing and planned trails.

FLAP Project Selection Process

Each FLAP project was selected from a pool of applications submitted by the facility owner in response to a state-wide call for projects. The applications were screened, rated, and ranked using PDC approved rating criteria. The PDC unanimously agreed which projects met the established State program goals and conformed with the project ranking criteria contained in the “Call for Projects SOP”. Based upon these evaluations, the proposed projects were recommended for programming within the available funding for each state. Memorandum of Agreements (MOA) were coordinated and executed for each programmed project prior to obligation of FLAP funds. There was one call for projects, from September 16, 2013 until November 18, 

2013, that generated 13 applications totaling $12,529,356.00 funds requested.
