This grant from the Chesapeake Bay Program Office aims to fund cost-effective proposals for enhancing nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment load reduction strategies in the Chesapeake Bay region. Projects may focus on developing or optimizing best management practices (BMPs) for various land uses like urban, agricultural, mined, or forested areas, as well as shorelines and water bodies in the region. Applicants are encouraged to propose expert-based solutions for modeling land use loading rates and watershed responses. The grants are intended to support non-federal partners within the CBP Partnership to advance water quality goals through innovative practices and technologies. Deadline for submissions is Sep 19, 2013.

| Description:: | This RFP is seeking cost-effective proposals from eligible applicants for developing or revising the technical basis for nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment load reduction values; efficiencies for new or existing best management practices (BMPs); or other pollutant-load reduction/prevention treatments or technologies within the Chesapeake Bay region. These practices may be specific to a particular land use such as urban, agricultural, mined, or forested land; applied to stream and river banks and tidal shorelines; applied directly to free-flowing streams and rivers; or applied directly to the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries and embayments. Proposals should also address development of expert-based recommendations for other modeling-related topics such as land use loading rates, watershed response to varying inputs, or scale effects. This work will also include development of land use based estimates of loads as well as supporting verification of implemented practices, treatments and technologies. While the CBP Partnership is comprised of federal and non-federal organizations, any activities funded under this RFP shall only directly support the non-federal partners. The non-federal partners of the CBP will provide programmatic direction to the cooperative agreement recipient through the CBP Partnerships Water Quality Goal Implementation Team (WQGIT). |
