Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter is to seek assistance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in planning, designing and constructing a project to restore or improve aquatic habitat at [location], under Section 206 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1996.

[Briefly describe the type of aquatic ecosystem improvement project that is foreseen: objectives, actions that might achieve those objectives, approximate size and any specific problems or needs.]

We believe that such a project may be feasible under this program. We are aware that a non-federal sponsor must provide 35 percent of total costs, including any needed real estate interests, for any project that might result, and that the sponsor must maintain the project after completion.

Your reply to this inquiry will be appreciated. Please contact [name, address, telephone] to discuss our eligibility in this program.

Sincerely,
