State/Tribal Environmental Outcome Wetland Demonstration Program Grant Pilot (WDP)
The purpose of this request for proposals (RFP) is to fund grants to States and Tribes for demonstration projects designed to determine the extent to which wetland program implementation (both regulatory and non-regulatory) achieves positive environmental outcomes - in particular, no net loss, net gain and protection of vulnerable wetlands. The authority for the grant program is Section 104(b)(3) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) which restricts the use of these grant funds to improving wetland programs by conducting or promoting the coordination and acceleration of research, investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies relating to the causes, effects, extent, prevention, reduction, and elimination of water pollution. The State/Tribal Environmental Outcome Wetland Demonstration Pogram is a one time pilot. Subject to the availability of Federal appropriations, EPA anticipates that $5 to $8 million in FY 2005 funds will be available to award WDP grants. Each program area, regulatory and non-regulatory, will have a separate funding amount and funding for regulatory and non-regulatory program areas will be decided separately. The anticipated awards will be in the range of $200,000 to $300,000 per State/Tribe per year for three years, depending on appropriations for each of the regulatory and non-regulatory program areas.
