EPA Region 4 is offering the Southeastern U.S. Regional Targeted Watersheds Initiative. This grant is for eligible entities serving Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Indian Tribes within the Region. This grant’s purpose is to award cooperative agreements under the Clean Water Act Section 104(b)(3) to support studies on watershed restoration approaches that produce short-term measurable environmental results, or to fund demonstration projects testing new and innovative water quality approaches. Direct watershed implementation projects are ineligible, as are activities required or regulated under the CWA, such as TMDL development. However, non-regulatory components of TMDLs, like non-point source pollution elements, are eligible.

| Description: | Region 4 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) anticipates awarding 3 to 7 cooperative agreement to eligible entities which serve the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, or the Indian Tribes within the Region’s boundaries. The Regional Targeted Watersheds Initiative, under the authority of the Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 104(b)(3), is designed to award grants to support studies of a series of possible approaches to watershed restoration to determine if those approaches produce short-term measurable environmental results in a watershed, or to support demonstration projects to test new and innovative approaches to water quality. For example, if a watershed organization identifies particular environmental threats or impairments to its waters, and proposes to look at a group or series of interrelated projects to address those impairments and includes measurement tools to achieve and judge their success, the proposal could be considered a study under Section 104(b)(3). Watershed restoration or other site-specific implementation projects are NOT eligible under this announcement. Activities involving the implementation of pollution control measures are eligible for funding only to the extent they are necessary to carry out the study or demonstration project(s). Activities involving wildlife are eligible only to the extent they are conducted as part of a study or demonstration relating to the causes, effects, extent, prevention, reduction or elimination of water pollution. The EPA has chosen to declare certain projects or activities ineligible for funding. These include activities required or regulated under the CWA. For example, activities for the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and Phase II Stormwater projects will not be funded. Activities implementing the non-regulatory component of TMDLs (e.g., the elements of a watershed plan that address non-point source pollution), however, are eligible. |
