Open Water Support

Consult with the Open Water Capability Provider and/or Open Water Facilities

As with all projects, applicants first consult with the Open Water Capability Provider and/or Open Water Facility(ies) regarding their project. During this initial consultation, the Open Water Capability Provider and/or Open Water Facility(ies) forwards all project details to the Network Director for an Environmental Review. TEAMER-approved environmental consultants (H.T. Harvey & Associates or Environmental Science Associates) will review the details and make a preliminary assessment of whether they expect that the project will have any effect on the Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed species, their critical habitats, or Essential Fish Habitat. TEAMER will pay for this initial environmental review.

Travel Reimbursement & Shipping Funding

The TEAMER Network Director is authorized to reimburse TSRs up to $2,000/week for certain travel related expenses. Travel reimbursement is contingent upon receipt and approval by the TEAMER Network Director of the TSR’s completed Post Access Report.

Additional expenses for shipping of test articles and other allowable expenses may be reimbursed, if pre-approved by the TEAMER Network Director. Please inquire with the TEAMER Network Director for more information.
