Grant Description

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyмs (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO) is announcing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for applicants to provide the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partners with a proposal for technical and programmatic support related to implementation of the agricultural and other nonpoint source components of the Chesapeake Bay watershed jurisdictionsм (listed below) watershed implementation plans (WIPs). This RFP is seeking cost-effective proposals from eligible applicants for supporting state, regional, and local partners and other non-federal stakeholders to build the institutional and programmatic capacity for accelerated implementation of agricultural conservation and other nonpoint source programs. This work will improve coordination and provide technical and logistical support to the CBP Partnership Water Quality Goal Implementation Teamмs Agriculture Workgroup and Watershed Technical Workgroup. Proposals should also include technical and coordination support to the non-federal partners and the appropriate CBP technical workgroups for determining the best means for ensuring all implemented nonpoint source (both agricultural and non-agricultural) best management practices (BMPs) are tracked, verified, reported, and simulated in the suite of CBP partnership models.
