WaterNews for June 1, 2001WaterNews is a weekly on-line publication that announces publications, policies, and activities of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water. Inside this week's WaterNews:
1) 2001 Watershed Assistance Grants Applications Due by July 20 1) 2001 Watershed Assistance Grants Applications Due by July 20EPA, in cooperation with River Network, is providing grants of up to $30,000 to community-based watershed groups who compete successfully for the 2001 Watershed Assistance Grants (WAG) awards. The WAG program aims to support the organizational capacity of watershed partnerships in the United States, so that watershed problems can be identified and resolved by local stakeholders. This is a highly competitive, national grant program, with only 6% of applicants receiving grants in the last two years of the program. Applications must be postmarked by July 20, 2001. The WAG selection criteria and application are available on-line at http://www.rivernetwork.org/howwecanhelp/howwag_2001cri.cfm. 2) EPA Makes Source Water Protection Funds AvailableEPA is seeking proposals from organizations interested in working with communities to protect their drinking water sources from contamination through a resource- or geographic-based planning approach. Communities involved in these efforts will have completed source water assessments, and must be served by public water systems that are highly or moderately at risk of contamination. EPA funds will be used for training and technical assistance to these communities, with the goal of establishing sustainable source water protection programs. All project proposals must be received by EPA no later than June 28, 2001. For eligibility criteria and application instructions, see the Federal Register notice at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/protect/swpfundsfr.html.
