This grant, offered by the EPA under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), aims to fund projects focused on addressing legacy phosphorus in agricultural settings. This is EPA’s significant competitive funding opportunity for Fiscal Year 2021 within GLRI’s Focus Area 3. Eligible entities are invited to submit applications for grants or cooperative agreements. The primary purpose of this initiative is to mitigate environmental impact by reducing nonpoint source runoff and nutrient pollution. Specifically, it targets the accumulated historical phosphorus from agricultural practices, which contributes significantly to water quality degradation in the Great Lakes ecosystem. Projects should demonstrate effective strategies for managing and reducing this persistent nutrient load.
