Restoration of aquatic ecosystems within the project area will reestablish hydroperiods and other hydrologic and hydraulic parameters to rehydrate former hydric soils to support critical wetland and riparian habitats. It will also reestablish native plant communities that will further diversify over time, resulting in greater quantity (acres) and quality of native plant communities. **Background: Intensive agriculture has led to the installation of drain tile networks, excavation of drainage ditches, and stream channelization, impacting natural hydrologic and other processes. Such impacts have enhanced flooding risks, minimized the amount of open space available for native plant and wildlife communities, diminished recreational opportunities, and disturbed natural processes and soils in the project area. The project area is further dominated by non-native and invasive plant species. **ACQUISITION INFORMATION: Competition for this acquisition is planned to be FULL AND OPEN, UNRESTRICTED TO BUSINESS SIZE. The North American Industry System Classification Code is 237990, with a small business size standard in dollars of $45.0 Million.
