Grant Description

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program Office is announcing a request for proposals for support of the Small Watershed Grant Program for 20102016. This is a new announcement that has not previously been distributed. Subject to the availability of funding, the EPA Chesapeake Bay Program Office plans to award one cooperative agreement under this RFP, under the authority of Section 117(d) the Clean Water Act, and will carry out those activities listed under Section 117(g)(2)(B). Through this RFP, EPA seeks to identify an organization with a mission to support communities in their efforts to improve local watersheds within the Chesapeake Bay basin. EPA will develop a cooperative agreement with the selected organization to advertise for proposals, select subgrantees, oversee subgrants, monitor subgrants for completion of projects, and report on results and lessons learned. Funding for this program is appropriated each year by Congress. Since 2000, the Small Watershed Grants program has provided $23.6 million to support 587 projects.
