The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 Water Division is offering this grant to fund projects aimed at improving water quality in Lake of the Woods (LOW). This international water body, bordering Minnesota and Canada, faces significant degradation from nutrient enrichment and severe erosion in its southern basin, leading to toxic algae blooms that impair recreation, drinking water, and fish habitat. This grant is for eligible agencies/organizations to coordinate and accelerate research, studies, training, and demonstration projects. The primary purpose is to enhance State and Tribal capacity to effectively assess and manage point and nonpoint sources of nutrients and sediments contributing to the degradation of Lake of the Woods.

| Description: | The Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Region 5, Water Division, Watersheds and Wetlands Branch, is soliciting proposals from eligible agencies/organizations for the coordination and acceleration of research, studies, experiments, training, investigations and demonstration projects to improve State and Tribal capacity to effectively and efficiently assess point and nonpoint sources of nutrients and sediments to Lake of the Woods. Lake of the Woods (LOW) is an international water body located on the U.S. and Canadian border bounded by Minnesota, the Red Lake Reservation, Manitoba and Ontario. Water quality in the LOW is degraded by enrichment of nutrients. Over‐enrichment and climate change are thought to be key factors causing extensive blooms of algae, which are at times toxic. This impairswater quality and the lakes value for recreation, drinking water, and fish habitat. The southern portion of the basin is also experiencing severe erosion. |
