The Department of the Interior’s Fox River Green Bay Natural Resource Trustees aim to restore natural resources affected by PCB contamination. This grant program utilizes settlement funds to support projects aligning with established restoration plans. Rather than a traditional RFP process, interested parties must collaborate with the Trustee Council to develop project ideas for potential funding. Projects meeting the criteria may receive grants through a non-competitive selection process. Prospective applicants should engage with the restoration coordinator for guidance before submitting proposals. Application deadline: September 30, 2018.

| Description: | The Fox River Green Bay Natural Resource Trustees restore natural resources injured by the release of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) into the Lower Fox River and Green Bay, WI. The Trustees allocate funding, provided by settlement dollars from responsible parties, to restoration projects that fulfill the natural resource objectives of the 2003 Joint Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for The Lower Fox River and Green Bay Area and the 2016 Restoration Plan Update under the authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.
The Lower Fox River Green Bay NRDA is not a conventional grants program, in that it does not solicit for projects through a formal request for proposals on Grants.gov; instead project idea forms are developed strategically in coordination with the Trustee Council. Following the review process, if a project is selected a grant will be awarded. The Service will also award single source grant agreements based on the criteria outlined in Section VI without competition under justification 505DM 2.14.B.4 as appropriate. Applicants seeking funding under this program should review the requirements and selection criteria and contact the restoration coordinator to discuss their project concept prior to submitting an application for funding. |
