2010 Targeted Watersheds Grants Program: Urban Watershed Capacity Building Grant
2010 Targeted Watersheds Grants Program: Urban Watershed Capacity Building Grant Request for Proposals (PDF) (29 pp, 112K), Dated: April 1, 2010
Frequently Asked Questions (4 pp, 37K), updated: May 7, 2010
Through the Targeted Watershed Grants Program, EPA plans to award up to $600,000 to an eligible entity to manage an Urban Watershed Capability Building Grant. A key component of the Urban Watershed Capacity Building Grant is to engage communities in capacity building activities to foster an increased connection, understanding, and ownership of their waters. EPA is soliciting proposals from eligible applicants that address the following two project components: (1) establish and manage a competitive urban watershed subaward program; and (2) provide urban watershed technical services to subawardees.
This Request for Proposals (RFP) is based on the growing need for local watershed protection efforts in urban areas. EPA is encouraging local watershed organizations and local communities to envision the role their watershed should have in their long range community development plans and aiding communities to formulate a means to achieve this. Proposals must be received by EPA by May 19, 2010. A national panel will evaluate and rank proposals based on the evaluation criteria stated in the RFP. Selection of the successful applicant will be announced this summer.
2008 Update
- EPA has selected ten Finalists for Market-Based Water Quality Projects.
- EPA will provide funding for the Western Estuary Initiative, pursuant to a directive in the agency’s fiscal year 2008 appropriation.
- A national request for proposals is not being planned for this year.
Established in 2003, the Targeted Watersheds Grant program is designed to encourage successful community-based approaches and management techniques to protect and restore the nation's watersheds.
To date 46 organizations have been awarded Implementation grants. An additional 15 organizations have been selected for award from the 2006/2007 competition. Implementation Grant projects that have been funded thus far focus on a broad array of methods for addressing watershed concerns including water quality trading, agricultural best management practices, wetland and riparian restoration, nutrient management, fish habitat restoration and public outreach and education. Each watershed organization involves a broad array of stakeholders and members including those from academia, local and state governments, tribes and non-profit organizations. The Implementation projects summaries are provided below for all grants.
