Improving access to and within federal and tribal lands

MAP-21 Funding Authorized: FY 2013: $1,641,576 FY 2014: $1,653,907 FY 2015: $ 1,620,749 Federal land acreage for the five core FLMAs: 4.85% Federal public road miles: 870.1 Number of Federal public bridges: 52 Recreational visitation: 31,292,208 visitors per year 

Success story: KY 787 within Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge — The project consists of the replacement of the existing culvert on KY 787 with a two lane bridge in McCraken County, KY. The project work includes the construction of a 20-foot wide two lane bridge, removal of culvert, minor culvert installations, development of pull-off parking areas, and other miscellaneous work. The bridge cross section will be two 10-foot lanes. The project lies along the auto tour route of the US Fish & Wildlife Service, Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge. This project will aid in the safety for locals and tourists by addressing the safety issues of traveling on a flooded roadway while also providing them with the ability to park their vehicles within the refuge. The project drainage improvements will also aid in restoration and protection of bottomland hardwood habitats within the refuge. The Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge attracts over 50,000 visitors annually to see approximately 240 migratory bird species, and enjoy the recreational opportunities of fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing. The refuge also attracts approximately 4,000 young adults annually for environmental education and natural resources awareness.

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 were two calls for projects, from December 15, 2013 until May 23, 2014, that generated 6 applications totaling $2,631,202 funds requested.
